Winter has arrived in the Bow River valley.

Possibly the most photographed bench in Canmore, Alberta.

"That was quite the snow storm last night eh" the stranger suddenly says to me, using a traditional Canadian weather related greeting.

We need more witches.

It is not that darkness is faster or stronger than light, it's that darkness is already there until the light arrives.

I want to keep myself alive in relative comfort as best as I can, but also fight for the rebellion and those most impacted by the empire of chaos and inequity.

The challenge being I don't have much energy these days. Some days less than none.

Although on borrowed time in my mind, I'm not done.
I use my energy cautiously. Selectively. On things that matter.

If I use it on me and the fight, I risk failing at both.
A moral dilemma we all face to some degree.

I'll try nonetheless.

Voters who say, "I don't really like him But.. strong leader.. businessman.. or I don't think he'll really do those things he says"...
Many are people who are not being or can't be honest about their real motivation.

Canadian news talking about how the US election results might impact the economy. The economy?
Why the fuck do we always focus on the economy and never on everything else that will or is at high risk of being lost?

Apparently hyperventilating is different than mindfulness breathing. 🤔

“Social media friends aren’t real friends.”

BS. There are souls I’ve met on social media that have shared themselves openly and honestly, who have been genuine in their interaction, as much as anyone I’ve met in “real life.”

"What social media platform was popular, when you were in high school?"

Social Media Platform? We would talk in the smoking area.
Although it was more of a pit than a platform.

Monet inspired Autumn leaves.

They are mouth foaming angry and can't coherently explain why or substantiate any of their misplaced, misinformed, angry rhetoric and propaganda, which just makes them angrier.

Are the folks in charge of the weather control lasers planning more aurora tonight?

Remember when we only had teenage angst?
Ah, those were the days.

Bladder, prostrate, kidney, blood, bone, lymphatic, heart, neuralgia and .. well, let's just say that the list of health challenges makes answering the "How are you doing?" question a bit complicated these days.

I get why it's easier to say "Fine, thanks, how are you?" 🙂

@sand Good idea. I have a removable tray under the burners. I add a bit of kitty litter to it to absorb the drippings. As long as I clean and replace it regularly, that part of cleaning isn't bad.

It's my annual clean the BBQ day, but it's only 1°C outside.
I have no problem using the BBQ in cold weather, even mid-winter, but cleaning? 😕

I had a friend in highschool who needed support and a place to live if he was to complete highschool. I asked my parents if we might be able to offer that support and it happened without hesitation.
We were definitely not wealthy.

Looking back on this years later, I realized how much that cost, but more importantly how much it taught both my friend and I about looking out for others and being kind.

It has shaped and guided much of my life.
