Stuck on a couch watching Netflix hasn't been good for my media diet. A lot of rubbish.
That said, enjoying watching "Alone" - season 7. Tagline: "100 Days in the Arctic for 1,000,000 Dollars". This season they've upped the ante - the war is with yourself, it always was, only now there is no invisible other to compete against, only the clock.
And, as always, the caution against bragging, predicting, let your character reveal itself through it's actions, not idle boasts for no sooner will you utter one than you'll be out of the game ...
Right now, too early to call, and not sure if I like any of the contestants. We'll see. I do like the struggle.
Somebody's thinking of you...

And, in all the unboxing (lots of unboxing, easily 500+ scrolls and several pounds of discarded food items) - a few notes to you. Somebody misses you:
A fair likeness, I think...
...and how does he know what perfume you wear?
You share a love of flying saucers...
Anyways, if you need a date I know an Artist who would be very interested. I thought it funny that he's still thinking of you - did you write him back?

A trip back to Alberta, stop to visit a field of crosses between Cranbrook & Fernie - always wondered what happened:
Rumour has it there was a bad curve, lots of fatalities, since fixed on the highway. Alas, no answers here.
Alberta, Albertan, Unusually lush...
A sandstone butte in a field, on the right-hand side at the base there's a tunnel into the side, next time I'm going to have to jump the fence with a flashlight and see what's up there. Curious - an old root cellar? Indian Cave?
Nice antique chest in Thrift shop, Calgary.
Ferocious terrain to bushwhack through, high-stepping fallen trees, always at 45 degrees, always uphill, and not a trail in sight.

I'm not kidding. 8 hours, under 60 seconds per scroll, and I'm not done. This just in the 8 weeks I've been back.
Scrolls rolled and tied with lollipops, matchbooks, twine, ribbon, string, tape, aluminum foil, gum, wire, you name it, he's done it. Scrolls containing candy bars, candy, suckers, - and - even money - a $5 bill and a $2 coin so far. And I haven't even been unwrapping them all, there's a big segment that will be unwrapped by posterity. And there are some masterpieces here:
So, to town to buy him some more art supplies, this man is a living treasure. A picture of him on his scooter out delivering happiness to the children of Nelson:
I need to start working on a way to get him his own museum, preferably while he's living. But first to find a place to live and where I can start to unpack all of this...
