Christmas 2023 and a New Year 2024! What is in store?

-

 I see the amount of clicks on my blog, and say, cannot leave it at that... Without wishing all a prosperous, and merry, 2024!  And a Merry Christmas to all!  And it does not matter what religion you are. If you read the text of Christ, you will know, all he wanted to do was to help people in need. He did not weld a sword in his hand. Peace was his mantra. His cloak. 

So, to all who have visited here, when times were down for me over the last 8 yrs or so, thank you. Big one.

Part 5, could have been produced, long ago. I may, look at the files again, to see how everything is. Maybe, in the next few weeks, it could be produced. I have had a little better good luck, in the past little while... Things have cooled down, so to speak.

I realize, how starving artists, have a hard time to get their productions out into the open. We live in a money driven society. Money, drives, everything, and, we do not like to see ourselves go short either for major things in the homestead. Things that may break, we like to have a backup supply as well, as Momma said, God, rest her soul!

So, perhaps the upcoming weeks, you may see a Part 5. Another gruelling experience, of "Oh, your book cover does not match or works with our template..."  Another "You sure you do not want to get it edited?"

Self publishing is tough. It costs money. I think, as I may have said earlier, I may have been 30 or 40 years behind my time... If I were to release my books in 1970s or 80s, I think, I would have done well... So many millions of releases at the same time... Good luck, as the say...  Good luck!

Merry Christmas to all!

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
