There's some time management guy on LinkedIn posting that, on average, we get 4,000 weeks on this planet. He lists a number of activities and how many weeks that represents, including 34 weeks on the toilet and 666 weeks if you spend 4 hours a day doom scrolling.
There are some calculation issues here. I didn't doom scroll for the 1st 30 years of my life because the internet didn't exist, and now I doom scroll on the toilet to increase my #Productivity. So I'm outliving most of you who are reading this.

Fresh from intimidating ABC and CBS with meritless lawsuits,
Donald Trumpis suing Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal reporters who broke the story of a lewd birthday message for Jeffrey Epstein.
But, unlike with the frivolous allegations against the big broadcasters,
there’s clearly a fact of the matter here:
an authentic letter either exists or it does not;
-- and there is plenty to be revealed in the process of finding out.
Trump’s time-proven …

I started the morning with the objective of putting the plants we brought from our old house into our new yard. But I quickly realized all the tools I needed were sprinkled throughout my disorganized garage. So I spent 3 hours ripping out old cabinets left by the previous owners to make some space and then hunting through our piles of stuff to find the garden tools. Got most of it organized, so at least I can actually put my hands on stuff. A small step forward.

In June of 1759, new settlers began arriving in Nova Scotia, not from Europe but from the American colonies. French Canadians, known as Acadians, were removed from the Atlantic colony in 1755, and the British governor of Nova Scotia was anxious to repopulate his territory with loyal subjects. Many farmers in New England were struggling, and over the next decade, some 8,000 Americans were lured to Canada.

Today is move in day, so what better day to share some horror stories about unscrupulous movers. Everyone has horror stories about moving from one home to another, and even our meticulously planned event has had some hiccups. Like the truck being 4.5 hours late when we moved out and getting our keys for the new house 8 hours after the deal closed. But we didn't hire anyone from this CBC investigation, so it's all good.

It's only a week away until the moving truck arrives and puts an end to our 16 years in Caledon. Today, I'm taking some time to squeeze in 9 holes of golf with my brother, who has a cottage close to our new home. My car is packed with 11 different plants that we split from our current garden, over 70 individual plants for the new house. Two planters will have to wait for the next trip.

Another day in history... another invading force from the USA. Those pesky Fenians were back on this day in 1866, and this time, the 1,800 Irish-Americans riders were repelled back to the United States after they looted and plundered around Saint-Armand and Frelighsburg, Quebec. Although the Fenian raids were unsuccessful, they did encourage the Canadian provinces to band together for defense, leading to our Confederation as a country.

July 24th, 1534, the original Cross of Gaspé was erected overlooking the bay of Gaspé, by the crew of Jacques Cartier on his first trip exploration in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Planting the cross symbolized the ownership of the territory on behalf of the King of France. Today, a granite Cross of Gaspé, erected in 1934, has replaced the original. Amazing that the installation of a religious artifact defined clear ownership of a continent you didn't know existed just days prior.
I have a small Easter Island statue in my garden that I'm going to install in the middle of my neighbour's yard. Wish me luck.
