Steel Heart: High Tech warrior from the 1300s.

-
King Pladamius, in his little feudal town of France, was getting worried. His peasants were complaining of several attacks from a Dragon, and were so infuriated, that they were beginning to protest by not paying their taxes. King Pladamius decided to call on a true hero, to save his kingdom and save his reputation as being a cruel but decisive problem solver. He called non other, than Steel Heart into his court at his castle one day!

Steel Heart walked into the court, smiling at the lovely lady Pataguin. Pataguin sighed, and began fanning herself intensely as the heat of the mid summers day sweltered the huge, stone, opened court. King Pladamius grunted at his wife, Pataguin, as she then took a stern look at Steel Heart.

"Steel Heart. You who have saved millions from starving. Who has brought down the evil tyrant, Pulgie Winkle the Third. You who had stopped the English invaders by catapulting a new age food over to their shores, forcing the starving lot of them to head back for a delicious bite of something you called 'Fish and Chips'. There is no end to your glory, ahem.."

Steel Heart took out his sword from his sheath, raising it up high, began to scream "If this is a trap for me, King Pladamius, I warn you! My sword is sharp and I got a mild touch of the crabs. I am not in the mood to be here all day scratching, waiting for you to try to kill me. I may start scratching and chopping right now! Ha ha ha!"

Steel Heart waved his sword back and forth, as the hundred men surrounding him backed off in fear. King Pladamius raised his hands "Steel Heart, I want you to solve a problem for me. A dragon has been on the loose in my Kingdom, pillaging and making a hard time for the peasants all around. Problem is, they will not pay taxes to me, when this dragon continually harasses them! There is but one solution! I want you to go down and kill all the peasants! Everyone of them! This way here, this will stop the nagging from the peasants and restore my peace of mind from my advisors!"

Steel Heart scratched his crutch and thought about this for a minute "My Lord, by killing the peasants, you will have no more exuberant taxes to collect in order to pay me! Spare the peasants, as I do not wish to sharpen my sword after killing every 100 of them! I will bravely face this dragon, and bring him to his knees, by God!"

Pladamius got up from his mighty throne and raised his hands, with a big applaud from the spectators there in the hall "So be it! Not only you are ruthless, but you are weird in thinking also. We will kill the dragon instead! And the land will reign my tyranny again!" Pataguin got up and began to jump excitedly, up and down while revealing her underwear at times to Steel Heart.

Steel Heart cut the wind, as it echoed down the hallway in a large thunder "I will need your weapons specialist to design me some top secret, weapons, in order to defeat this monster without me getting as much as a nail broken on this mission"

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
