    How involved were your grandparents in your life growing up?

    Very little. Two of them died when I was very young and I was never close to the two that survived. When the third grandparent died I was well into my 30s and I sat through the funeral wondering if I was in the wrong place - I didn't even recognise the person they were describing.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Looking forward to a lazy afternoon. My suggested workout today was a VO2 max intensity workout but since I haven't done any anaerobic work for a month or more because of the heat I decided to do harder but shorter repeats, pushing the primary benefit up from VO2 max to anaerobic. My legs...

    Wild Animals where you live?

    What kind of bears do you have in your area? Here we have black bears that generally don't attack people (but getting between mama bear and her cubs is unlikely to end well).

    Wild Animals where you live?

    I've seen bear scat more often than I've seen actual bears. I know they are out there, I just very seldom see them. It is good to see hawks and eagles flying. Every once in a while we get an owl but I haven't seen one for quite a long time. One year we had one nesting right outside the house...

    How often do you go to meetings at church?

    The annual meeting should be important but my experience recently is that people share thoughts and the thoughts are then completely ignored. I didn't bother to go to last year's meeting, and don't plan to attend this year's meeting either.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Finally got the insulation panels finished off in my work room. One offcut was about 1/2" too small to fit perfectly into a space in the adjacent room that I haven't finished panelling yet - it's going to be a bathroom so there's a bit more work to be done yet. Not least moving the big stack of...

    Wild Animals where you live?

    We get voles, raccoons, possums, rabbits, squirrels, groundhogs and a few songbirds in the yard. We see vultures, hawks and eagles flying in our general area. One year we had a bald eagle land in the yard - it turned out we had a rabbit that died and the eagle decided to help itself to an easy...

    Realistic Peace in Ukraine

    It seems to me like another case of asymmetric warfare. We've seen it in the Middle East, where the West fires a cruise missile worth millions into the desert where it blows up a tent and a couple of camels. In response the enemy fighters leave a roadside IED botched out of a salvaged land mine...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Still way too hot to run so I did a walk instead. An hour in the sun was enough for me to come home soaked with sweat and needing time to cool off and rehydrate. Now I"m sitting with the air conditioning running enjoying the coolness.

    Will your children care for you as you age?

    Unlikely. Not least because I don't have children.

    How often do you vacuum/sweep?

    Funny how cat hair sticks to everything except the cat. We also have a cat but don't need to clean up after him every day. Usually after a few days there are a few patches of cat hair floating around and we vacuum them all up.

    Would complaining help or hurt?

    You could call to ask about it without necessarily raising a formal complaint?

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Lazy evening last night. I had planned to do a bit more insulation work but my wife was out and it was only after she left that I remembered we didn't cut the panels into strips before she left. Trying to manhandle an 8x4 sheet through a table saw singlehanded without wrecking anything seemed...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I hoped to replace a basement light switch with a motion activated smart switch. Sadly the back box isn't big enough for the new switch so I had to put the old one back. Now I'm contemplating how I might work with a deeper back box. The space I have to put a switch is a very awkward gap between...

    Is it really believable?

    It's all about equality, innit? The idea that a woman who weighs 100lb when soaking wet couldn't take down a 300lb man trained in martial arts, or subdue multiple attackers Bruce Lee style, while barely breaking a sweat is clearly sexist and therefore offensive.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I planned a gentle run today because we're still under a heat advisory. It ended up being less gentle than I intended, largely because I'm finding I gravitate to a pace that's a little faster than I can sustain for any length of time, and also because it didn't feel like an intense effort even...

    Your Righteousness

    It's an easy option. If it's all about what Jesus did then I'm nobody special. If it's all about doing it yourself then I'm clearly better than you are because I'm doing it and you aren't.

    Best places to retire?

    Maybe you and your husband need to be snowbirds. Sell the house, get an RV, and spend your retirement heading north and south to stay in the weather you prefer? I hear Nicaragua is very nice. Never been there, and not sure I'd want to uproot and have to learn a new language as part of...

    How often do you dress up?

    I think the last time I really dressed up was for a friend's wedding that was several years ago now. I have formal wear but I've lost so much weight since I wore it regularly I don't know if it would be so loose it would be almost unwearable. In church I'll dress moderately more smartly if...

    Weekly Church Bulletin?

    We have a bulletin, which includes the order of service. The order is almost identical every week so about the only difference is who is leading each individual section. It also has a few notices in it.
