wifi but no electricity
Both Tim Hortons and McDonalds advertize their 24 hour service with free wifi. Nanaimo's 24 hour place close to the ferry terminal does not have any plugs. Campbell River McDonalds and Tim Horton's have one plug each.

anti inflammatory webinar June 2
Lately, you've
probably been hearing a lot about inflammation. Unfortunately,
inflammation is a modern plague, driven by stress and improper
nutrition. Today inflammatory diseases abound, including acne, eczema,

scientific understanding tells us that chronic, silent inflammation is
also at the root of heart diseases, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease.
So, you know it can
cause a lot of problems, and that you can't always see or feel it. But
what can you do about it in your day-to-day life so you can get healthy
or stay that way?
For answers, please join us on Monday, June 2nd for a free webinar on the Anti-Inflammatory Life with natural health expert and President of the American Herbalists Guild, K.P. Khalsa.

Eagles and ravens
There are lots of eagles here. It is quiet enough to hear a raven beat its wings. Ravens are considered to be bad guys when young chickens are about.

You don't have to drag your suitcase down those stairs in Port McNeil, there is plenty of time to take the long way around to the ferry. At the plant sale two women stood for 15 mins holding onto a rosemary and a lavender plant so that no one else could buy it before the sale started.

New Scientist pigeons are smart
Bird brainiacs: The genius of pigeons
- 04 May 2014 by Kirsten Weir
- Magazine issue 2967.
FROM the piazzas of Venice to the sidewalks of New York City, the same refrain appears on signs the world over: "Do Not Feed the Pigeons!" "We just see them as a nuisance, flocking around McDonald's and pecking all the French fries," says Onur Güntürkün, who has studied pigeons for more than three decades.
It wasn't always this way. Not so long ago, we stuffed Columba livia specimens for display in military museums, honouring them for their brave flights transporting messages across enemy territory. Charles Darwin took up pigeon breeding to help him hone his theory of natural selection, and was dazzled by their charms. Before a visit from his friend the geologist Charles Lyell, Darwin wrote: "I will show you my pigeons! Which is the greatest treat, in my opinion, which

Departure Bay
OK Departure Bay's internet service at their ferry terminal is not good enough for this laptop. Duke Point is the wrong ferry terminal for people without cars. Buses do not go there. $40 by taxi to Departure Bay or downtown.

Malcolm Island
On Malcolm Island now. My computer was taken by accident off the bus in Campbell River and I only got it back today. The bus ride from Naniamo is 6.5 hours. Only once a day from Greyhound. At Port McNeil you have to take a ferry that also goes to Alert Bay. I also have pictures and I'll put them up another time. Another 2 friendly dogs and 2 cats that haven't made friends yet. One is close by though. Chickens, salad, raspberries and others I will write about later.

The New Abolitionism | The Nation
The New Abolitionism | The Nation
So in order to preserve a roughly habitable planet, we somehow need
to convince or coerce the world’s most profitable corporations and the
nations that partner with them to walk away from $20 trillion of wealth.
Since all of these numbers are fairly complex estimates, let’s just
say, for the sake of argument, that we’ve overestimated the total amount
of carbon and attendant cost by a factor of 2. Let’s say that it’s just
$10 trillion.
The last time in American history that some powerful set of interests
relinquished its claim on $10 trillion of wealth was in 1865—and then
only after four years and more than 600,000 lives lost in the bloodiest,
most horrific war we’ve ever fought.
It is almost always foolish to compare a modern political issue to
slavery, because there’s nothing in American history that is slavery’s
proper analogue. So before anyone misunderstands my point, let me be
clear and state the obvious: there is absolutely no conceivable moral
comparison between the enslavement of Africans and African-Americans and
the burning of carbon to power our devices. Humans are humans;
molecules are molecules. The comparison I’m making is a comparison
between the political economy of slavery and the political economy of
fossil fuel.

Olera farms still
I guess I have never worked in a greenhouse for a long period of time. They are hot. With a heated soil and additional height, it is easy imagine being able to grow tropical fruit trees. I've never seen vegetables being grown in troughs before, my experience has always been with them grown on the top of a ridge, I am guessing it has something to do with the tractor tool that was used to prepare the soil and plant.
Huffpo was advertizing a photography book on black dogs which they claimed were not popular. It's hard to believe that when looking at the glossy black lab on the farm.

It is a different farm now. Fred Reid lost his organic chicken battle with the marketing board and moved north. His brother Brad who I also interviewed died last year. The farm has vegetables and fruit now. Two friendly dogs. As a child I often wondered if all dogs understood the same "game language" - the "play bow" and the resulting game. Apparently they do.
