So nice to see Julie Christie, but it makes me think of Away From Her, and that hurts too much.

I am down to two mason jars. Pickle Jalapeños, or red onions? (I'm thinking I'm gonna do two jars of red onions, with a little chili pepper, in sweet white vinegar) (I'll freeze the Jalapeños)

Picked the last of the peppers from the garden today. I have a LOT of Jalapeños.

I'm thinking it's finally time for me to get more into Bowie. I know, I know, apparently other people have heard of him. But, he was always someone my friends were into more than me. (Slightly kidding, but feeling the need to listen to more Bowie) (Dylan too. Kinda strayed from him lately.)

I woke up at a hotel at Pearson airport at 5:00am to catch my rescheduled flight home after a couple of intense days of meetings in Saskatchewan. I am exhausted. So, yeah, the season finale of Lasso left me a mess. Even the cat looked concerned and kept climbing up on me to see how I was doing.

As a Canadian, your whole country has got some 'splaining to do. GOP for enabling him. Dems for being powerless to stop Trump 2.0. It may take a couple of generations to fully open our hearts, and wallets, to the US again.

He's sowing seeds of skepticism/chaos, hoping to reap doubts about the results. If Dems take both houses, he'll say they stole them, point to vague incidents at polls, and troll them for 2 years, with vetos, rallies, and executive orders. Then he'll declare a national crisis, and lock the doors.

Look, as a soon (waiting for the paperwork) twice divorced nice guy, I know comparing expectations is a challenge. But, I really want to try.

Attraction. I want to look at someone and smile. I want to see them smiling back at me. I want us to meet in the middle of this, and think, "Oh, you are the one I want."

Changing gears... An agreement on streaming. Sports, entertainment. It should be a negotiation, not me paying for it all, only to discover later that doing so meant nothing.

Affection is important. What that means is negotiable. I want someone comfortable feeling loved and able to express love. I would (almost) kill for a genuine impromptu affectionate hug. A genuine level of comfort in each others' presence.

Some knowledge of music and literature. Both are important to me.

Kindness is a big deal. Someone who shares my empathy for people in need. No right wingers. Some debate is a good thing. Arguing with an idiot is a firm no thanks.

I like smart women. Some breadth, some depth. Someone who understands complex concepts. Some who can learn from me. Someone who can teach me. Great conversations, lots of back and forth. A "professional" career is an asset. An intellectual match.

I've been noodling about a potential dating profile. I tell ya, it's not a simple thing. I'm trying to figure out what I'm looking for in a partner. Hmmm...what's important to me? This is in no particular order, except maybe the first one.

Tonight, I decided to also purchase solar panels to charge it. I've already experienced several extreme weather events. There's gonna be more. And maybe cyber attacks on power grids. What a fucking timeline we're living in.

I ordered a decent sized power station today. My original intent was to get something big enough for whoever was staying in the cottage bunkie to charge their devices overnight. I started to wonder, do I need solar panels to recharge it? Nah, I can just plug it in inside the cottage.

I even draw the line at ketchup. Nope. Put the damn bottle back in the fridge. You want tomato? Have the grilled cheeae sandwich with tomato soup. Aylmer. With milk, not water. Not that ungodly Campbell's crap. Dammit, now I'm upset, just thinking about it all.

Bar TV is showing clips from ESPN 8. At the bottom of the screen, it says... "You are watching TSN THE OCHO" TSN has never had an original idea in far too many years, if ever.

Good Attitude About Menstruation was the first that came to mind, but this one is memorable because no one at my work had heard of the show. I recorded this and popped it into the VCR at work. They looked at me like I was nuts. youtu.be/AeZ6l0dOCWE?...

1) Still pissed that CBC no longer has HNIC for Leafs' games. 2) Yet, we're still stuck with Ron Maclean. 3) And keep HNIC out of your tiresome mouth, Ron. It's gone, but you should be gone instead of the CBC. 4) Fuck you, Rogers, with your promos about "Saturday night" from players.

"Scepticism is a resting place for human reason where it can reflect upon its dogmatic wanderings but it is no dwelling place for permanent settlement. Simply to acquiesce in scepticism can never suffice to overcome the restlessness of reason." - Immanuel Kant (comparing X and Bluesky)

It's been an interesting exercise. Finished season 4 last night. Given the storylines in season 6, seeing the Marcus/Dander partnership evolve into Coe/Dander was a good refresher. And Flyte vs Lamb could be fascinating, if she does end up at Slough House. It's a little chaotic, but worth it.
