The Rise of the Market Overlord Drafts are in.

-
The drafts are in from the editor. I will be going over them this afternoon, perhaps. Will only finish probably by Friday. I had this nagging cough, headache, and sinus and fever for the last 2 days. I could not do too much. The first night I had cold chills going through my body. It was as if I could not stay up long. Everytime I coughed, it produced a headache. As, I was coughing so much, that every time I hacked it produced pain in my cortex area. The second day I made another trip to the doctor, and he gave me more meds. Said the first doctor did not give me enough. At that time driving there, I noticed much weakness I had at the wheel.  It was surprising. And it is a cough that does not stop. Maybe for a minute, then I hack constantly for maybe a minute. Could not much of any quality sleep, either. And, the medication I take makes me go to the washroom. It does not help that you drink so much fluids during this time. I do feel better with the new meds. Another puffer to bring up the cold from the lungs, and some sort of one a day pill.

Besides that, I may correct a little bit of the draft today if I feel better. There was less mistakes on this copy, than the first book. Nearly half less mistakes. I can actually go through the page and read, through the errors instead of the errors being stacked on top of each other. They send a format through MS Word, where you go through the Tools and Review function. You click to accept or reject each correction. It goes through pretty fast, but i do read through it to see if they made any errors as well. Sometimes they correct over some of my typing, and I am trying to find out what I did wrong. I have to go to the new copy to see the difference at times, but this is rare.

I find I have been having hard luck as of late. But, that is the life goes. Up, and down, down and up. Hopefully we will see some up for awhile. Not fun to be sick, as I sit here coughing this up. We all go through these times, unfortunately. I will drink some more green tea and some lemon/ ginger hot drinks. My father always said they helped. I am uncertain, but will try even the old remedies to get rid of this nagging cough.

My blog is going a bit down from the previous month, and this is understandable. I did not really believe I could hold on to last months peak. I maybe down only 5 % which is not bad. I was not inspired to write too much this month either, as it seemed to be a busy one for me. I hope you have a good afternoon, till then..

Canada has a carbon tax. Something that will never work.

Carbon tax. At first, the Canadian Federal Government, under the Liberals, unrolled a tax where 90 % of it was exposed to go back to the payers of the program.  Now, just that sentence alone. Think about it. 10 % going to schools, hospitals... I guess... And 90 % going back to the pocket that spent it... But, not your direct pocket. Not saying all of the provinces would have done it in the same way. At the first roll out, New Brunswick, the province in which I lived, just reduced the tax on gasoline to make up for the carbon tax increase. The feds said, no no, that is not right.. That is not what it is intended to be with this carbon tax.. So eventually, we may have gotten back one carbon tax check one year, and I truly forget. Now, far as I know, I never received a carbon tax cheque back to my pocket...  But I do know, of programs, that went to buy heatpumps for people under a certain income... To make them energy efficient to a degree in the winter, but to comfortably cool their home

Borador- labrador collie mix

 Borador, we got this pup in the fall of 2022, and was a dog that looked more like a black labrador when he was a pup. We got him around 4 to 5 months old, and was a biter. He loved to bite. He loved to eat rocks. You could take him for walks, and, he would start picking up rocks and chewing on them. Some, he swallowed. For sure, we tried to give him a treat, to get the rock out of his mouth before he swallowed some of them. We had to learn also, to take him on trails where there was no little rocks for him to chew or swallow. He would, puke them up, at night and it made us worry about him very much. Then winter came, froze the ground for 4 months or so. Good thing, as he forgot about picking up rocks as the winter passed and 2023 summer is here. He now, likes chasing and fetching sticks.  He did do messes in the house the first 2 months we had him at the house. He eventually, learned to go outside to do his things. And, we became automatic at it, to bring him out in the morning ( he w

They say you are more famous when you are dead.. lol...

 Have to see, and say, the viewership on this blog, has nearly tripled since its start in 2012 approximately. I went through a dry spell from 2014 to 2016, then a spike in 2017, then 2020 a short blip of a month or so, and finally the last 6 months of 2022 to today, I have been getting viewership spikes in the 1000s, outpacing my first 2012 by 3 times as many viewers. And, I have not been producing any books during this time, even creating anything. It is mostly from the USA, then France, Eastern European countries, Russia, and a few from Asia views. True what they say,  you are more famous when you are dead when you are a creator, than alive. I feel dead right now. I have nothing on the board to create, no focus or means to get Part 5 done. There is no release of anything to any publisher at this point in time. Strange how marketing goes. You take the famous Budweiser, with Spuds Mckenzie long ago. When that dog come out, they were selling beer like crazy. And it helped cement Bud Lit
