It was a wonderful Wednesday as I partook in my wanderings. Starting with the Wednesday Walkers outing.
George is from a small town in British Columbia named Tumbler Ridge. His wife is still there working. George told us we’d be hearing about what happened there yesterday, and now we have. Sad for sure, but as more details emerge, it was another case of trans insanity. Time to wake up and get them help, not encourage their madness through mind and body-altering drugs. Condolences to all the victims.
We started our trek with a steep climb and we were rewarded with this view when we achieved the summit.
Swan told me she was craving my beef stew. What’s a good boyfriend to do?
But that’s not all she wanted, so then we did this:
Having gotten what we came for, we headed ashore and paid a visit to Treasure Island.
Owner Bert was there, so it was nice to see him again. He even bought me a beer. We weren’t very hungry after our earlier beef stew indulgence, so we decided we’d just share some chicken quesadillas.
And then it was time to wander back home via a tricycle. And I made it through the whole day without Swan calling me out even once for being “arte.”
Back to the June 2017 archives and a post about fathers, sons, and my Korea life. Like a chameleon, it comes and goes.
Today’s YouTube video is about a joint US-PI military exercise. Getting some practice offloading America’s tools of war here in Subic. Don’t FAFO China!
Humor me this:
And so goes another circle on the carousel of time. I’m scheduled to see Dr. Jo this afternoon so she can review my ultrasound results. I’m hoping for an all-clear to continue this life of leisure indefinitely.
See the error in that first meme?
re: trans shooter
Yeah, I’ve been hearing about the trans shooter in Canada. He apparently shot himself. Too bad that wasn’t his first shot.
re: “arte”
According to Urban Dictionary, this can mean
1. a Filipino word used to describe overly dramatic people.
2. A very dumb person who everyone thinks is annoying but is funny too.
So which “arte” are you?

Good luck with that.
Kevin, clearly, I’m the drama king, at least according to Swan. š Then again, I guess it is pretty dumb to be overly dramatic.
As far as I can tell, that meme needs a comma after “apparently.”
It happened in a country with strict gun control laws, so that won’t fit with the lefty narrative. From what I’ve read, given the shooter’s history of mental illness, he could not legally possess a gun. It’s sad how laws don’t impede someone who wants to murder, which is also against the law.
Yeah, a comma after “apparently” would be an improvement. Good catch. But that’s not the big fish. Look at the words “function” and “were.”
Kevin, “were” isn’t the right word; I’d go with “was” or “is.” I don’t see anything wrong with “function,” but I like “purpose” better.
This error has to do with subject-verb agreement. If the subject is singular, like “function,” the verb has to be singular, too: “was,” not “were.”
ā”the function… was,” not “the function… were.”
That’s why “function” is important. No need to change it to “purpose.”
When determining subject-verb agreement, ignore any interrupting prepositional phrases, like “of carbohydrates.”
ā¢ The mother (of the rowdy boys) WAS tired.
ā¢ I know what the function (of carbs) IS.
ā¢ One (of the six books) WASN’T a fake.
Kevin, it is much more fun to look at others’ errors than my own!
