Updates from reality and the cyberworld

 Been quite busy of late, plus had lot of other issues to deal with on a personal level.  Today been trying to deal with this nasty flu and getting a chance to collect my thoughts.

First off, I am putting out an appeal to help a good friend and my EMS mentor, Orvis Slack.  Last week, he started having nearly unbearable pain in his chest and back; he thought it was a pinched nerve or slipped disc in his back.  Turns out, he was having a major heart attack, even though it never occurred to either myself or him that it would be cardiac.  After going through catherization, he is now resting at home, but is now facing massive medical bills, as well as loss of income.  So a mutual friend of ours set up a GoFundMe fundraiser to help witn his expenses.  Please help out if you can.

Meanwhile, I came across this interesting posting from The Thinking Housewife blog.  I don't usually follow Laura's postings often, but this really stuck out, and it is something that's not widely known or reported in the MSM.  Might reach out to fellow blogger Peter for his insights, since he is originally from South Africa and has his own insight worth considering.  

Also, some more interesting tidbits from JL's blog regarding matters in the Great White North, my interest being that is where my fiance is residing.  From what I have learned during my trip up there to North Bay, the majority of residents tend to be more of a conservative viewpoint, and not big fans of Trudeau's governance, so this just seems to confirm what is being said.

Hopefully can be able to get more updates later today, in between dealing with massive sinus congestion and just feeling like crap.  Make sure you check out the other blog listings on BRM's site, and stay tuned for more from yours truly as it happens.
