Phew Ken, you seem to be similar to my artist wife who sees things I would never notice. We each have our own world maps but which one is real? (Test question). Read Part 2 tomorrow.

I love the birdies in the background. We are encouraging them here too.

It favors Mother Nature when one encourages the birdies P&S - so I do as well - and we have had Cardinals, Bluebirds, Carolina wrens, sparrows, snow birds and more - along with the squirrels of course feasting on the seeds we offer up in good faith - along with a water bath a clean diligently when I am around here in our place in Charlotte - and when I am not - well soon my daughter will be here and upon her I lay these duties and I hope she is up for the task.

Something is blowing in the wind P&S - or maybe tis just the day of Saint Valentine - lets look him up shall we: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Valentine

Saint Valentine (Italian: San Valentino; Latin: Valentinus) was a 3rd-century Roman saint, commemorated in Western Christianity on February 14 and in Eastern Orthodoxy on July 6. From the High Middle Ages, his feast day has been associated with a tradition of courtly love. He is also a patron saint of Terni, epilepsy and beekeepers.[2][3] Saint Valentine was a clergyman – either a priest or a bishop – in the Roman Empire who ministered to persecuted Christians.[4] He was martyred and his body buried on the Via Flaminia on February 14, which has been observed as the Feast of Saint Valentine (Saint Valentine's Day) since at least the eighth century.[5]

Well tell me P&S - now that you know a "little" more - what have you learned? Or is that an unfair question?

seeds in my mind I plan on sending your way to South Africa direct - but please contact me however you please with your current address - and then if you have council with respect to the best way to ship these seeds properly and "fair & square" - please share said council.

~

In high regards - and it makes me sad even though you think we will meet face-to-face I doubt that will ever happen - but I fully intend on sending these seeds with your council P&S.

And I will make some porter, and if you happen to actually get here, then of course I will have a bottle at the ready for you friend. Cause as my face-to-face friends know - when "Green Garnet" makes a potion - it lasts a lifetime!

ha, ha

Many thanks Ken, and if our Great Creator deems it so, we shall meet in due course. My target date is Juy 2026 but I have several consultancy contracts to complete first - plans of Mice and Men eh?. Ishallha.

Shipping to SA is iffy, especially for seeds, and customs steal most things anyway, so my daughter in UK disguises the package (she is very clever) - the last one got through by courier, which I fixed from this end with FedEx or DHL.

The best plan is for you to ship to my daughter, Nikki Sage, and I will combine other items in a courier package here to SA. Your normal mail system should work to UK. Her address (which is also my proxy UK address is:)

Blessings to you my good friend and the porter will be an extreme celebration when we finally meet! So what have I learn Ken? History my friend, without which we are all at sea, so I suck it up like Adam's ale!

So the check above was sent to an entity I support - and support that entity I do - but the check never arrived apparently - either that or it wasn't deposited.

Well - tis not advisable to sit upon a check - and now the check will be rebuffed till my birthday in 2025 - wow - lesson learned for me.

Not a one of the folks come to this place - and you know I got the metrics on the number of "looks" - not a one of you can fathom a guess?

Well - all I can say is "look closer" but if what you see does not appeal then I reckon you can't even fathom a guess?

That makes me sad but firms my resolve - to focus on matters at hand.

I thought the readers here - and I've been losing readers mainly - still the ones who stuck around - I swear I thought they knew better - but maybe that is not the case.

Just like a few years ago I was NOT allowed to visit the son of my niece - cause you see I refused the jab for good reason - I ain't no fool but I know so many been fooled - but really - if you can't learn from mistakes - then I guess you are loosing bloodflow to your brain - and truly that is not a good indicator of your future health - cause we need that bloodflow to learn - do we not?

So if you are afraid and full of fear I cast you off - I don't want you around - I'm sick and tired of fearful ones who can't think for themselves - and if you think this text is obstinate, then you obviously have no idea what I am about - and so truly - nobody even has a guess?

wow - sad times we live in these days - big changes are on the way - I'd rather die a man of principle who was unabashed and fearless than somebody afraid of being "canceled" - so there - seems fear has overcome so many - god help us all I reckon.
