Avoidance

X (formerly Twitter): Zac Small

Last evening was the second consecutive in which I sat up late drinking four cans of Cariboo Malt (7.9% alcohol) and operating our Android TV Box for my brother and I to watch some of our shows ─ he remained conscious throughout, and Bev even watched the first show before retreating to the bedroom she now shares with my brother.

What did we watch? These are the shows, and in this sequence:

• The Rig ─ "Episode 4" of season or series two.
• Resident Alien ─ season finale episode eight ("Homecoming") of season three.
• Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ─ episode three ("Fear and Loathing on the Planet of Kitson") of season six.
• SEAL Team ─ episode three ("The Worst of Conditions") of season two.
• Yellowstone ─ episode eight ("No Kindness for the Coward") of season four.
• Inside No. 9 ─ season (or series) finale episode six ("Wise Owl") of season or series seven.

Concerning Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., I am struck by how exceptionally beautiful actress Chloe Bennett is as character Daisy Johnson / Quake. And until I saw that Wikipedia article on her, I had no idea that she was half Chinese!

Wild!

Anyway, all memory is gone of when it was that I got to bed last night, so I will only say that I hope it was before 2 a.m.

I am also fuzzy on just when I rose this morning, but it was likely somewhere between 8 - 8:30 a.m. And because my brother rose considerably later, I had possession of the T.V. and was watching a video that proved to be such a waste of my time that I refuse to identify it.

Instead I tuned in a 1¼-hour video published February 20 to Rumble's Action4Canada channel: Radical LGBTQ FaceOff, Canada Is Net Zero, RCMP Covid & Fentanyl Corruption, Feb. 19, 2025.

I admire Tanya Gaw so darned much! I wish I was better suited financially to be able to generously donate to Action4Canada. Incidentally, the actual Rumble video description is far longer, but I am not about to fill up this post by reproducing it.

We finished up with two fairly short uploads from YouTube's The Why Files channel:

⭕ The Nevada Triangle | 2,000 Planes Mysteriously Crashed & Missing Near Area 51 👽🤔 (9:26) Uploaded January 21, 2021.

Most of us have heard of the Bermuda Triangle, where planes and ships have mysteriously gone missing in the Atlantic Ocean for decades. Did you know there is a similar place in Nevada? The Nevada Triangle. In a region of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Nevada and California, 2,000 planes have been lost in the last 60 years. In this remotely populated area of more than 25,000 miles of mountain desert, many of the crash sites have never been found.

The Nevada Triangle is typically defined as spanning from Las Vegas, Nevada in the southeast to Fresno, California in the west, and to Reno, Nevada at the top. Within this wilderness is the mysterious, top-secret Area 51. Along with the dozens of conspiracy theories which include UFOs and paranormal activity that surrounds the air force base, similar theories have long been considered regarding the Nevada Triangle.

One plane to go missing was that of a record-setting aviator, sailor, and adventurer named Steve Fossett on September 3, 2007. Fossett, flying a single-engine plane over Nevada's Great Basin Desert, took off and never returned. After hunting for a month for the plane, the search was called off and on February 15, 2008, Fossett was declared dead. Later that year on September 29th, Fossett's identification cards were discovered in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California by a hiker.

Throughout the years, many of the missing planes were flown by experienced pilots and have disappeared under mysterious circumstances: and their wreckage never found.

⭕ The Philadelphia Experiment - The truth about invisibility, teleportation and time travel (12:51) Uploaded February 4, 2021.

The description is far too long to tempt me to reproduce it, but I think enough of us know something about this near-legend.

By this point Bev had joined us and thus when my brother sought some bed rest, she was present to take over the T.V. for the remainder of the day.

My wife had another full workday today, so she rose near 9:40 a.m. to hurriedly ready for her quite long drive to the Thai restaurant where she has part-time employment, leaving my brother and I a little past 10 a.m.

The day had periods of some rain and was always solidly overcast.

My brother chose to leave afoot in the early afternoon to catch a bus and go social drinking after having remained home yesterday for a change, but he was back by maybe 7 p.m. this evening. Even so, I have absolutely no intention of spending a third late evening sitting up late watching our shows with him. Perhaps he will pass out after he joins Bev to watch whatever she presently has on at 7:08 p.m. as I type these words.

I had some exercise in the latter afternoon out in the backyard tool shed because even if I do rise early in the wee a.m., judging by the day we've had, the elementary school playground where I sometimes have some sets of pull-ups and chin-ups will be experiencing rain which will thereby be making exercising practically impossible.

But my shed exercising was pathetic, using the child's slide ladder that I have stretched across three shed rafters:

• pull-ups (4-2-2)
• chin-ups (2-2-2) 
• pull-ups between the two sides of the ladder (2-2-2)

I think I only held a hang for a 20-count because of the pain in my right thumb's main joint (texting thumb from excessive keyboard pounding).

I may undergo the three blocks or so to the school in the wee a.m. just so I can do a proper hang there. If I am able to actually grip a bar instead of just tightly cupping my hands over it, my thumb joint will not be affected.

I have taken some time from this post to brush my teeth, and it does appear that my brother may have succumbed to unconsciousness, despite how loudly Bev has the T.V. cranked up. I am presently shut up in my bedroom ─ truly, I have no intention to be sitting up late with my brother passing in and out of consciousness. I only sit up late for his sake; so if he is not conscious and watching our shows along with me, why should I be bothering?

I think I'm done with blogging for today. It is 7:58 p.m. ─ I may be to bed by 8:30 p.m.
