Comme Terry Fox

 I had plans to go to the library this morning. Forgot that today is Terry Fox Day - a civic holiday so the library is closed. That's okay. Here we are in the month of August. Great month for two reasons. The weather begins to cool off - total godsend after the millions of heat warnings - and some pretty amazing people have birthday this month.

 Woke up feeling ravenous. Savoured a three-cheese snackwich from Subway. Probably my favourite of the four options. The BLT is pretty good too, but the 3-cheese is the best. This summer has been composed of ups and downs. Stuff that one has no control over. I've long repeated the phrase "tech is great WHEN IT WORKS." When it does not, gnashing of teeth ensues.

  Started reading 'On Hobbes' by Alan Ryan today. Love Hobbes... from 'Calvin & Hobbes', but I don't know all that much about the philosopher. He made to 91 in a world where making it to 45 is summat of a miracle. Was it genetics? His diet? That would be an interest skit to float on TikTok; the Thomas Hobbes diet!

 Anyway, I hope ye fab folk are doing well.

BYE.

Foster the People? Paul Revere and the Raiders?

 Was introduced to a sub-SUV deal. Now I have Kicks jokes running through my head. Another day, another heat warning. At least it's not at orange level. Been doing some reading and playing Valheim. Bears are in the Black Forest biome; what the heck are they doing in the Meadows? Oh, and the game crashed this morning while my dude Edgar was cooking boar meat.

 I have a couple of torches on hand just in case Edgar encounters bears. Torch in hand and zig-zagging - that's how one evades bears. Greydwarves and their pack mentality are annoying. But the game is beautiful. On the literary front, I finished reading 'Sir John A' by Drew Hayden Taylor. Canada's most legendary drunk whining about Indigenous people while two dudes travel to Kingston to dig up ancient bones.

 Darkly funny, like most of Taylor's works. A two-act play - easily blasted through. Now I have a much darker book ahead of me. I hope ye my followers are doing well and keeping cool.

BYE.
