Great Spirit bless 🙏
Good Monday morning to everyone! I would like to begin the morning with a short prayer of my own, if you don't mind a Martian praying 👽 "I pray that today will be better than yesterday, which was better than the day before yesterday. Now, just do the best you can, one day at a time.
🌄🌞🌅
It is going to be a nice sunny day out today, a little on the windy side though, but who cares? I'm not going out GOLFING or something like that. If I took up an outdoor sport, I would like to find a nearby crossbow range. I used to be pretty good with both a crossbow and a bow and arrow, more so with the bow and arrow.
I had a homemade bow and arrows. For the bow, I used a willow branch soaked in the lake for several days, held down under the water with stones. I whittled the thick end to the same tapering thickness as the tapering smaller end, then *gradually* curved both ends using the twine I salvaged from store packages. After the taut twine had stretched, I waxed it with candle wax and let it dry.
The arrows and arrow tips were made from filed-off nails, nails I had nailed into holes drilled into the big end of a stick I was using for an arrow shaft. Then I would nail the nail into the hole, whittle down the stick, wind electric tape around the end of the stick, cut it to the right length, notch the back end of the shaft, and voila, an arrow! They would stick in a tree and could easily take down squirrels if I had a desire to do so, which I didn't.
This was when I was around 10ish years old. Na! I wouldn't think of killing anything except for maybe a couple of frog casualties when showing off to other kids. I liked doing mostly target practice, like, pine cones, a piece of bark, trees, especially the knots in birch trees made good targets; tree stumps, and of course, tin cans were the most fun; the nail would go right through the can <- -- 🥫-- {
That was just one of the things I picked up on how to build stuff just from reading magazines, books, fiction, non-fiction, imagination, adventure, and discovering there was lots of adventure in reality. Still, I spent a lot of time back then reading pocket novels, books from bookstores and libraries, etc., my silent teachers. So this narrative establishes one thing: even back then, I was playing survivalist, adventurer, and discoverer, like when I used to play Robinson Crusoe on his lost island, I had my own island on the other side of the lake.

BREAKING NEWS:
Israel resumes strikes on Iran as oil prices surge
Iran has named Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, as his successor.
Here's The Latest:
• On the ground: Israel has started a “wide-scale wave” of strikes against what it says is regime infrastructure in three areas of Iran. Turkey said NATO air defenses shot down another Iranian missile as it entered Turkish airspace, and Gulf nations also reported overnight strikes.
• Oil prices soar: G7 finance ministers are meeting today to discuss the potential joint release of strategic reserves as oil surged past $100 per barrel, a four-year high. Meanwhile, Bahrain’s national oil company declared force majeure as the war continues to threaten energy sites.

ANOTHER CAN OF FLESH-EATING WORMS 🥫 🧛♂️🪱🪱🪱
Most European leaders have tiptoed around Trump’s war with Iran. Not Spain’s PM
Most European leaders have trodden a fine line between offering limited support for US military action against Iran and warning of a regional conflagration.
Not Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. He has been outspoken in his criticism of US strikes, provoking anger and threats from the White House. But rather than back down, Sánchez and his government have doubled down. Spain has significant trade and investment ties with the United States and a fellow member of NATO. Last year 4 million Americans visited the country. And just this month, Amazon said it would expand its investment in data centers in Spain to total nearly $40 billion...
- Europe’s minefield:
- Trade matters:
There is another dimension to Sanchez’s hostility toward American influence. For years he and his family have been the targets of abuse on social media, and he has railed against US tech firms for not doing enough to combat hate speech. ...

How are MPs passing so many bills without voting?
Half the bills passed in the House this session have cleared 3rd reading without a head count
MPs don't officially have to vote in order to pass bills in the House of Commons and it appears to be happening more frequently than usual this session of Parliament. Passing legislation "on division" allows members of Parliament to approve bills without having to register their support or their disapproval.
It essentially means that the parties don't agree on the piece of legislation in question, but don't feel the need to have a head count on who supports it and who doesn't. Instead MPs just agree to allow it to go through...
- How many bills have passed third reading on division?:
- Why is it happening with such frequency this session?:
WATCH | Carney's budget passes confidence vote:
• Liberals' omnibus budget bill passes final hurdle in the House of Commons
• Liberals accept Conservative proposals to limit 'immense' cabinet powers in budget bill
• Analysis If question period is 'broken,' is anyone going to fix it?
