Seriously starting to think that I’d be better off without C. I’d have to find a big chunk of money to pay off the money she’s put into our house. Separating isn’t really feasible though as we have little baby A together. C isn’t well enough to care for A by herself, and I need to work so can’t look after her all by myself. I fucked up pretty badly getting C pregnant just three months into our relationship. I’m a fucking idiot.

Sheesh what morons. There is utterly no value, nor need for, crypto currencies, not even the "stable" forms - which are really nothing more than a non-Federal Reserve issued currency that erodes the Fed's ability to control the money supply to fight inflation and recession.

At the beginning of the blockchain hype or bubble (more then 10 years ago) i bought a very small amount of cryptocurrency. That amount has been a kind of "money tree" that objectively keeps giving, i take some money away when the value peaks, it grows again in value and so on....
I can see why some people have become insanely rich throug crypto. On the other hand i wouldn't advise to seriously invest in crypto (to avoid misunderstandings).

Before earlier this year, I had a Ford Ranger sitting in my driveway that I used three or four times per year. I ordered collector plates for it (since I don't drive it in the winter anyways and I don't want to have to pay to renew plates) and then my sister's car broke down (while she's still owed money on it) so I gave the truck to her. I hadn't even received the collector plates yet. I found out today that she's driving around with the collector plates on it.

2/2 I continued blogging Alberniweather and on FB and Twitter but I gradually removed my personal self from Facebook and eventually during the Pandemic, I decided the Facebook environment was just too toxic even for weather stuff and I shut down my page and left Facebook completely.
The impact on traffic to Alberniweather.ca and its prominence in the community was, and still is, significant.
I have diehard followers, many who have become friends over the years, I still get the odd call from media, or even the public about random weather things.
I have good connections with a few folks at Environment Canada (though their staff have become thinner and more transient :(
and major events still get spikes of local traffic but I since about 2022, and after I removed myself from Twitter that year, I don’t blog nearly as much. I would do a few posts in a week, and then go months without posting. I just got out of the habit I guess.
But I am still interested in the weather. I still feel like Alberniweather is a useful service for people in my community. I still feel a willing obligation to inform people about the weather and I believe I am trusted to do so by the public and local leaders. I’ve never made any money at it, I sold ad space on the website for a few years but it wasn’t worth the hassle and I didn’t feel comfortable taking the money when I was councillor. I have had some generous spontaneous donations at times.
But mainly I do it because it’s interesting, and I hope it is useful for people especially when people are looking for information during a major event.
The highest traffic I have ever had on Alberniweather pre-FB exit was the local Dog Mountain forest fire in 2015.
post-FB exit: the #underwoodfire
People want easy access to reliable local, trusted, information.
Large media orgs have mostly given up on this.
I am grateful we still have an active local newspaper and radio and that both trust me and I trust them.
