Peace and security was on the table for consideration over the last week.
Easter celebrations gave hope for traditional renewal in spring rites, the death of a Pope reminded us of the limits of our opportunities in our own lives to make a difference, to spend some time and enjoyment and to spread whatever goodness we find in ourselves to others.
Earth day yawned a wink at us as clocks ran on. History blew a wisp of what was and is and is to come.
And you my friend, you gave me the opportunity to share another day.
Long are the weeks for repose Short are the nights to compose, Regeneration stay winters old man Long months will fly, we comply. Rest our souls till harvest supply.

This radiator cap was on a model A at the Merritt Classic Car Club Wednesday night meeting last week at the A&W. The car that was on was a model A Ford from the 1920 to 1930 era. Mismatched but interesting.
The rocket that the coyote is on would have been employed in one of his schemes to catch that roadrunner and I suppose he would have ate him if he could have ever caught him, but he relied heavily on acme novelty for his traps which added a dimension of interest and characterization to the programming.
Cartoon slapstick
It was a plunge from Disneys Bambi to continuous rivalries and progressive violence. Agree or disagree probably has more to do with people’s who probably took a plunge somewhere when the convenience of television time took from the arts and gave to the feeding of conflict resolution that is a neverending story.
Antimated violence parental warnings.
Parental warnings are to be paid attention to…
The cartoon series featuring the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote is known as “The Road Runner Show,” which first premiered in 1949. It is a classic animated series created by Chuck Jones and voiced by Mel Blanc. The series revolves around the high-speed antics of the Road Runner, who consistently outsmarts Wile E. Coyote, a hapless yet determined predator. Notably, the Road Runner makes a distinctive “beep beep” sound, while Wile E. Coyote often uses elaborate contraptions and traps from the fictional Acme Corporation to try to catch him, all of which frequently backfire in a humorous fashion. The episodes are characterized by their minimal dialogue and a focus on physical comedy and slapstick humor.
Tom and Jerry slapstick…
Another cartoon series that portrait comical slapstick violence was Tom and Jerry. Tom was a cat. Jerry was a mouse and Jerry was always trying to avoid being captured by Tom in traps and various plots. The animated violence sometimes comes under critical scrutiny when assessing violent tendencies and small children that have watched these programs.
We think that animated cartoons that show slapstick and silliness and things that obviously are not reality are great. And that we do a good service to children to make them understand the difference between reality and entertainment.
Disagree,it is your perogative…
Perhaps your lifestyle produces no need to escape, that’s a valuable life in most respects.
Violence does not reverse itself alone…
To take the time and explain when you have to act responsibly and when you can enjoy,imagined slapstick…
We are not psychologists, but we think it’s obvious that the ability to escape into imagination is a good life skill. Not everything has to be taken seriously and there are times that you can just enjoy things.
No truer word was ever spoke then one said in jest.
However a serious life is a valuable life as well.
Serious lives are consequential lives.
“Clowns are a dime a dozen”
You be the judge…
The fact is this showed up to a car meeting and they were adults. The car was a rod and seriousness was not it’s signature.
April 22 2025 marks earth day, and a spooky sense of a past that was different before humans dominated everything through technologies.
Better time for the earth or just different depends on your perspective. Nature still remains recreational and exists in a few places ( besides AI).
Nature reserves
Many natural nature reserve places are worth visiting, each offering unique experiences and showcasing the beauty of the natural world. Here are a few examples from different regions, along with information about potential costs: In Canada: * Pacific Rim National Park Reserve (British Columbia): Located on the west coast of Vancouver Island, this reserve boasts long sandy beaches, temperate rainforests, and the rugged coastline. You can enjoy activities like storm watching, beach walking, cycling, and hiking. The famous West Coast Trail and the Broken Group Islands offer more remote backcountry experiences. * Cost: Daily visitor fees apply, and there are separate fees for camping and programs. Admission is free for youth. You might need to purchase a Parks Canada pass depending on the duration of your visit. Backcountry camping on the West Coast Trail and in the Broken Group Islands also requires reservations and fees. * Gros Morne National Park (Newfoundland & Labrador): This UNESCO World Heritage Site features towering granite mountains, deep fjords, forests, beaches, and waterfalls. It’s known for its geological significance, showcasing plate tectonics. Activities include hiking, wildlife spotting, boat tours, and kayaking. * Cost: Similar to other national parks in Canada, daily visitor fees and camping fees may apply. Check the Parks Canada website for the most up-to-date fee schedule. In Other Parts of the World: * Ngorongoro Conservation Area (Tanzania): This is the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera, teeming with wildlife, including the “Big Five.” It’s often called the “Garden of Eden.” You can experience safaris and visit the Olduvai Museum. * Cost: Entry fees to the conservation area apply, and safari costs can vary significantly depending on the type and duration. * Yellowstone National Park (USA): The world’s first national park, located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, is famous for its geysers, hot springs, waterfalls, and diverse wildlife, including bison, elk, and bears. * Cost: Entrance fees are required, and they vary depending on the type of pass and duration of the visit. * Corcovado National Park (Costa Rica): Described as one of the most biologically intense places on Earth, it has lush rainforests and abundant wildlife. * Cost: There are entrance fees for the national park. General Information about Costs: * Entrance Fees: Many national and natural parks charge daily or period-based entrance fees per person or per vehicle. * Park Passes: If you plan to visit multiple times or several national parks within a certain region, purchasing an annual or multi-park pass can be more cost-effective. * Camping and Accommodation: If you intend to stay overnight within the reserve, there will likely be camping fees or costs for other accommodations. * Tours and Activities: Guided tours, wildlife viewing excursions, boat trips, and other activities within the reserves often have separate charges. * Transportation: Factor in the cost of getting to the nature reserve, including fuel, flights, or public transport. * Ecological Reserves: Some ecological reserves, like those managed by BC Parks, are open to the public for non-destructive observation without an entrance fee. However, they are primarily for conservation, and facilities might be minimal. * Volunteer-Managed Reserves: Some smaller nature reserves managed by organizations like Ontario Nature do not charge entrance fees and rely on visitors to be respectful and minimize their impact. It’s always best to check the official website of the specific nature reserve you plan to visit for the most accurate and up-to-date information on fees, hours of operation, and any necessary permits or reservations. Keep in mind that costs can change, and some reserves may have seasonal pricing.

Spring in BC, Snow pack is up from 2024. Life is good for most…good luck,stay safe.
British Columbia experiences a varied climate during spring, with weather conditions ranging from mild to cool depending on the region. Coastal areas, like Vancouver, typically enjoy moderate temperatures averaging between 10-15°C (50-59°F), accompanied by increased rainfall, particularly in March and April. In contrast, the interior regions, such as Kelowna, can see warmer temperatures, often reaching 15-20°C (59-68°F) with less precipitation. Snow can still be present in the mountainous areas, while wildlife begins to emerge, and flora starts to bloom, leading to a vibrant and dynamic environment. Be prepared for fluctuating temperatures and pack layers to adjust to sudden changes.
Accept the seed fall to the ground and die it abides alone.
You can use that as a metaphor for thoughts or projects or anything. But the reality is biology is out there and it wants to get its way. Look what it did with you.

The Artemis program is currently underway, with several missions planned to establish a sustainable presence on the Moon as a stepping stone for human missions to Mars. Here’s an update on its progress and the outlook for a Mars landing: Artemis Program Status: The Artemis program is organized into a series of increasingly complex missions. Here’s the current status of the initial missions: * Artemis I: This uncrewed test flight successfully orbited the Moon and returned to Earth in November 2022, serving as the first integrated test of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft. * Artemis II: This mission will be the first crewed flight of the Orion spacecraft, sending a crew of four astronauts around the Moon. It is currently targeted for launch no earlier than April 2026. * Artemis III: This mission aims to land astronauts on the Moon’s South Pole region. It is currently scheduled for mid-2027. This mission will use the SpaceX Starship Human Landing System (HLS) to transport two astronauts to the lunar surface. * Artemis IV: This mission is planned for late 2028 and will involve docking with the Lunar Gateway, a small space station that will orbit the Moon. Astronauts will transfer through the Gateway to the HLS for their descent to the lunar surface. * Artemis V: Planned for March 2030, this mission will also dock with the Gateway and is expected to involve a longer stay on the lunar surface, contributing to the establishment of a permanent lunar habitat. When to Expect a Landing on Mars: The Artemis program’s long-term goal is to prepare for human expeditions to Mars. While there isn’t a specific date set, NASA’s planning indicates that a crewed mission to Mars could plausibly happen in the mid to late 2030s. * Some sources mention a potential three-year crewed expedition to Mars with a return planned between 2035 and 2038. The duration of the stay on Mars could vary from 90 to 500 Earth days, depending on favorable return windows. It’s important to note that the timeline for Mars missions is more fluid and depends on the success of the Artemis lunar missions, the development of necessary technologies, and continued funding. The experience gained from establishing a sustained presence on the Moon, including testing technologies and understanding the challenges of long-duration deep space missions, is crucial for the eventual human exploration of Mars.
Today the first advance polling begins in the Canadian election. The Federal government is seeking a 45th Parliament since confederation . The head of the executive Mark Carney is also seeking a seat,and a mandate to government for four years.
Canadian Parliament
The federal parliament in Canada is the supreme legislative body responsible for making and passing laws at the national level. It consists of two houses: the House of Commons, which is made up of Members of Parliament (MPs) elected by the public in general elections, and the Senate, which comprises Senators appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister. The Parliament meets in Ottawa and plays a crucial role in discussing national issues, formulating policies, and overseeing the government’s actions. Legislation must be approved by both houses before becoming law, ensuring a system of checks and balances within the federal governance structure. The Parliament also represents the interests of Canadians and provides a platform for debate on important matters affecting the country.

A cup of coffee. Granted, sometimes this morning cup is actually a pot of coffee, but it warms my soul. A good book. Sometimes even a bad book will do. Sometimes I want to feel strong emotions that wake me up on the inside. Other times I’m really just yearning for a kind of escapism […]
That’s a really insightful question! It gets to the heart of why we invest time and emotional energy into dating. Here’s a way to look at why an outcome often feels important when we date: The Human Desire for Connection and Partnership: At a fundamental level, many people date because they have a desire for companionship, intimacy, and a meaningful connection with another person. This can stem from a deep-seated human need for belonging and love. In this context, the “outcome” isn’t necessarily marriage, but rather finding someone who resonates with you on a deeper level. Evolutionary and Social Factors: From an evolutionary standpoint, pairing up has historically increased chances of survival and raising offspring. While modern dating isn’t always about procreation, these ingrained drives can still influence our desires and the importance we place on finding a partner. Societal norms and expectations around relationships can also contribute to the feeling that dating “should” lead somewhere. Emotional Investment and Vulnerability: Dating involves emotional vulnerability. You’re sharing parts of yourself, your time, and your energy with someone. It’s natural to hope that this investment leads to something meaningful in return. Without the possibility of a positive outcome (like a fulfilling relationship), the process can feel draining or pointless. Personal Goals and Values: People often date with certain personal goals in mind, whether consciously or not. This could be finding a long-term partner, someone to share experiences with, or even just learning more about themselves and what they want in a relationship. The desired outcome is tied to these personal aspirations. The “Why” Behind the Dates: If you’re going on dates without any sense of potential outcome, it can feel a bit like wandering without a map. Having a general idea of what you’re hoping to gain (even if it’s just enjoyable company and new experiences) can provide direction and motivation. However, it’s also worth considering the potential downsides of being too focused on a specific outcome: * Pressure and Anxiety: Fixating on a particular result (like finding “the one” immediately) can create unnecessary pressure and anxiety for both you and the person you’re dating. * Missing the Present: When you’re overly focused on the future, you might miss out on enjoying the present moment and getting to know the person in front of you. * Disappointment: If every date is viewed as a potential step towards a specific outcome, you might experience more frequent disappointment. * Ignoring Red Flags: The desire for a particular outcome could lead you to overlook incompatibilities or red flags. In essence, the importance of an outcome in dating often comes down to the human desire for connection and the emotional investment involved. While having a general direction can be helpful, staying open to different possibilities and enjoying the process can lead to more fulfilling experiences. What are your thoughts on this? Does a specific outcome feel important to you when you date?
