I think Harley is going to miss her large play area - which is a few acres, including our neighbour's yard where her buddy lives - and her front porch where she can keep watch while sunning herself. She is well trained to never approach the road out front, and we've never needed a fence. I think more walks are in our future, which is a good thing.

I am a below knee #amputee, so I have lost the position sensors in my foot, ankle, and leg. I gauge the location of my leg in space through my knee and secondarily, through my hip. 🧵

Policy Platform
The digital advertising industry has grown into a $750 billion juggernaut. It is largely unregulated, deeply opaque, and increasingly harmful.
Adtech companies extract personal data, enable fraud, and fund harmful and illegal content. These middlemen siphon value from advertisers and publishers while benefitting from the monetization of everything from AI-spam to sanctioned foreign propaganda—without advertisers evening knowing it’s happening.

OTD in 1904, the City of Niagara Falls was incorporated, with a population of approximately 7,000 residents. Niagara Falls was already a major tourist attraction with numerous hotels established in the 1880s, and it was the honeymoon destination for most of Canada and the USA. Today, you can visit the far superior Canadian Falls and play golf, visit War of 1812 historical sites, or deposit some money at the casino.

Our body always wants to have three reference points since we live in 3D space. This can be a combination of two position sensors, and vision. Here is an interesting situation. When I shower, and am standing up, I place my normal leg and foot on the floor of the shower, and kneel on a shower stool. Combine that with my visual reference of my position in space, and I am golden. (2)

You want to order Italian. You want bruschetta. If you want to sound like an Italian, pronounce it like this: Broo-sketta, with the accent on the sketta part. Not Broosheta. When the C in Italian is followed by an H it sounds hard like the K in kick. If you really want to sound like an Italian, give the 2 Ts a bit of a kick. When two consonants appear together in words in Italian, generally they are punched a bit: Broo-skeTTa. Make it fun. Sound like you know what you are ordering.😀

Checked in at Welk’s General Store. Welk’s has a little bit of everything, & a lot of coffee and cocktail paraphernalia. House of Funk is local roaster with great design

🔹 Pros:
✅ Scalable – your income isn’t tied to hours worked
✅ Leverage – teams, automation, or systems do the heavy lifting
✅ More time freedom over the long term
🔹 Cons:
❌ Requires upfront effort to build systems
❌ May involve an initial investment
❌ Requires leadership & strategic thinking
💡 Best for: Those ready to shift from self-employed to system owner – turning their side hustle into a real asset.

Trouble is, telling them doesn't work. This frustration feels maybe something like what the kids say they feel like when their parents watch Fox?

Is there anything I should know before switching to #PublicMobile for 5G in #toronto — support surely can't be any worse than Rogers. Right?

In an earlier post I introduced the principle that there were four categories of side hustle. Let’s now talk about the second category.
2️⃣ 𝐒 – 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬: 𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐉𝐨𝐛
Ever thought about turning your skills into a business? Many side hustlers shift from Employee (E) to Self-Employed (S) – gaining more control but still relying on their own efforts.
🔹 Examples: Coaching, consulting, independent contractors, small-scale service businesses (photography, home repairs, etc.).

Joyce asked me, "Aren't there 4 terrible things in Japan, 'Kaminari' being one of them?" I counted for him: "Jishin (earthquake), kaminari (thunder), kaji (fire), oyaji (paternity)." and he laughed.
