iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Other than disbelief what evidence is there that this is AI. Cross species companionship, especially when introduced young, is very common. These are my pets. They are the best of friends and not AI.

A short -4 won’t hurt most fruit buds as long as they haven’t opened yet. Even then most will survive a short snap. These are buds on my lemon tree. Not very cold tolerant and even then only the immature buds were damaged on this past weeks -4. I grow tons of exotics. Weather has become my life.

The long range is the concern. As it dries up each day gets cooler. But now we’ve moved towards valentines day. If the moist air returns it will keep things warm till March. If it doesn’t things will keep cooling but it would be extremely unlikely to get colder than -4 in late February.

Right now is a really good example of what i wrote previously about the Pacific coast. The first image is this week. We are just coming out of an arctic front. The moist pacific air hits the cold front and then there is a very small chance of wet snow at night. But the moisture is too warm.

I introduced a dog I was sitting to my dogs. They immediately began a discussion about what a pre-dug hole means.

This is the secret to those videos showing how to cut a pomegranate so it literally falls apart with the seeds easy to access. Make your cuts on the ridges not the flat parts.

Minced meats in steamed rice buns is a common Chinese dish. The bun has a small bit of minced meat in the center. Although my son doesn’t like the minced meat and makes me buy the BBQ pork for him instead when i go shopping.

Every morning i have a shower and he just sits there and stares at me the entire time. I feel like I should be making a spot for him to put his $1’s

These are still images of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. When the officer draws his gun he is in front of the vehicle. However, if you look at his legs, he is no longer in front of the vehicle when he fires the first shot. Both shots were murder not self defence. Video everything, everywhere.

Sitting for these three lovelies this weekend. The two boys and the girl by the fire. All fixed but she’s entering a false heat so things have been noisy.

Absolutely correct. Look at the wording in this headline. It’s nothing but loaded words stating the obvious to subconsciously persuade you to assume he is guilty. Who has ever heard of unarmed US police or a prisoner not handcuffed during a transfer? It also reveals the BBCs position on Trump.

This is a good example of how the media uses loaded words to subconsciously manipulate your emotions. It would be unusual for a prisoner not to be handcuffed during a transfer, and who has ever heard of unarmed police in the US? But the obvious is used to persuade you that you should dislike him

News caption “Handcuffed Maduro surrounded by armed police during transfer to New York court”.

Produce grown in Canada, Australia, Chile, Mexico, Guatemala and Peru. Getting along just fine without American produce. Now that stores have realigned their supply chains it’s even easier to not buy American.

I did some more mid winter plant shopping yesterday. Got myself a New Zealand flax, a Chilean guava and 2 Rosemary plants. All 75% off. #plants #gardens

Ugh! A rat burrowed through the gravel and got into my greenhouse. It ate 3/4 of my protea seedlings as well as some banksia and Eugenia. Surprisingly it ignored the passionfruit vines full of fruit. It just went for the tender seedlings (roots and all) as well as eating all my slug bait.

Willow’s left confused. Espresso tapped her on her back but doesn’t want to play. What’s up with that? #cats #ferrets

Woke to a great sunrise this morning

I love plant shopping in the fall and winter. Great plant sales (this #rose was 50% off) and you get to find plants that will give you colour in that season instead of just spring and summer. And it’s another chance to see #hummingbirds that come for the blooms and bugs near the greenhouses. #birds

Anna’s humming bird perched on a vine just inside the entrance of a greenhouse.

Translation the US dollar is a bad investment. My investments are in developing nations. Their growth as a % of the global GDP in the past 10 years has far outpaced developed nations.

I’m not sure what Teddy was expecting but apparently it was something a little more exciting. #dogs #ferrets

This is one of my favorite dogs to pet sit for. When we met she wasn’t allowed to the dog park because she kept trying to break up dog fights. In less than 2 weeks i trained her to her shepherd instincts to patrol the perimeter of the dog park and only engage other dogs when I said it was ok #dogs

The Hudson Bay patterns are apparently a big seller at Canadian Tire. And made in China just like the original fur traders did.
