I want to die.

Here is the keto-friendly Big Mac salad I made for dinner with homemade Mac Sauce and toasted sesame seeds. Great way to use ground beef.

Soooo, my order of training nunchucks were delivered today.

Does that mean my mid-life crisis started when I ordered them? Or when they were delivered?

Good day!

AQI is down to 52. After ten days of smoke and over a month of drought, we’ve had glorious rain all morning.

I walked in it and can report that it is in fact glorious. My senses are alive with it.

Be everwell.

Good day!

Where the grassland meets the forest.

Blue Mtn. Is a popular place to hike. It’s easily accessible and has lovely views.

Yet, as I’ve discovered, few people explore. They mostly hike the same few trails.

This year is notable because there are fewer people.

Be everwell.

Transition day.

It’s clear in the valley, the sun hot, but the strong wind is cold, summer and autumn coexisting.

We had a brief rain overnight, but the clouds retreated to the mountains.

The AQI has plummeted to 59, but I’m still clearing smoke out of my head.

Be everwell.

Photo from two years ago this month.

The smoke largely cleared out last night (for now) and there’s a chance of rain.

I had a restless night with tortured dreams that are lingering on the edge of conscious thought, like something important I must recover.

Dusk

i had such grandiose plans
another day to spend
from the bank of my life
to reap the dividend

somewhere i went awry
i lost track of the sun
when i turned around again
the day was almost done

so now i pin my hopes
on the fading light
i watch the creeping shadows
and make plans for the night

I SEEM TO BE ACCIDENTALLY IMPROVING
DISCIPLINE WITHOUT MISERY 💎

This is slightly embarrassing.

After a lifetime of being suspicious of discipline, I appear to have developed some of my own.

I fast every day. I do breathwork every day. And now I write every day.

Usually I sit here with the AI, throw some half-formed idea at it, and we turn it around until I can see what I actually think. It is rather like having a thesaurus for ideas. Dangerous, obviously.

None of this feels like punishment, though. That is the strange bit.

There is discipline in it, but it feels freely chosen. Almost effortless. I no longer wake up thinking, “Oh my God, I have to improve myself again.” I just do what I do.

And something seems to be happening alongside it.

My clothes are getting looser. My body feels lighter. My flexibility has improved enormously.

And the breath has become something much larger than an exercise I do a few times a day. It is simply there. And the more consistently I return to it, the more there seems to be to discover.

Increasingly, during completely ordinary parts of the day, I notice space where there used to be noise. Peace. Silence. Not instead of physical life, but right in the middle of it.

Even the writing seems part of the same process.

Less clutter. Less excess. Less carrying around things I don’t need.

Apparently, one can become leaner in more ways than one.

I should add that I still have a little belly, so nobody needs to alert the authorities.

Perfection has once again been successfully avoided.

CHiP "Reverse mortgages" in Canada are vulture capitalism at its worst. They're actually high-interest loans that you're not allowed to repay until you sell your home, at which point — thanks to interest compounding — there might not be much equity left over to cover costs if/when you move to assisted living or long-term care.

And as people age, executive function may decline, so some elderly people will treat the money they borrow as a windfall rather than a loan, and start splurging on things they otherwise wouldn't buy (or need), instead of saving the money to live on. 😥

Shame on celebrity spokespeople like Peter Mansbridge, Kurt Browning, and Pattie Lovett-Reid, who apparently have no scruples about profiting from the exploitation by endorsing it for $$$.

The forecast continues to hold. Our weather is supposed to start changing tomorrow night.

Current AQI = 177.

This reminds me of the oxygen deprivation I had with HP. You think you’re okay, but you’re not.

That kind of sums up global warming, I guess.

With the number of foreign residents in Japan topping 4 million for the first time in 2025, a morbid question emerges: Where do foreign nationals want to die? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/community/2026/08/11/issues/foreign-residents-death-planning/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #community #issues #death #aging #immigration #expats #graves #islam #christianity #obon

After the back pain I've had on and off for a couple years recently became mostly on, I broke down and mentioned it to my PC, who sent me for an X-ray. The results say there was "nothing remarkable" and I'm stuck between relief and frustration, because I still have this very specific back pain.

You hear about it from your elders of course, but I wasn't prepared for the amount of wtf included with the whole getting old and breaking down process.
