Hmmm, being open to the possibilities is sometimes all you need.

Success in life most often comes from a combination of factors such as diligence, careful preparation, thoughtful planning, integrity and focused application of will. You have to put in the effort and invest the resources to get the result you want… most of the time.

There are times when it is simply a matter of being in the right place at the right time. A degree of randomness is involved that has no explanation and no relation to what you may or may not have invested in the moment.

Finding the Colorado Potato Beetle shown above was an example of the latter. I had finished a bug crawl along the Grand River Trail. I stopped at the nearby drainage pond (for a housing development) for a quick check hoping to see a dragonfly or two.

I was walking along the sidewalk, bordering the drainage pond and the weedy area surrounding it, when a bright flash crossed my line of vision. My reaction: Holy crap, what was that! Fortunately for me, the Beetle landed in a bush not far ahead of me and stayed there long enough for me to take several photographs of its chunky and brilliantly coloured form.

It will rank as one of my better finds for the year. (Yes, I know they are a major pest for potato farmers. But that is another conversation.)

A Colorado Potato Beetle appearing out of nowhere to be the highlight of my day. A random act of metaphor to remind me that Mother Nature doles out her beauty on her own schedule and her own whims. My part in the process is simply to be open to the possibilities.

Hmmm, will the AI drone that the Data Center powers ultimately prove to be its Achilles heel?

I have been hearing a lot about Data Centres and the controversies surrounding them in the news lately. I had only a vague sense of what is involved and decided I should educate myself on the matter. Here is what I learned.

A Data Center is a centralized physical facility providing the infrastructure needed to process, store and distribute the massive volumes of digital data, cloud services and AI applications that exist today. They rely on specialized infrastructure:

• Servers: Powerful computers that host websites, run software & process user requests.
• Storage Systems: High capacity hard drives and solid-state drives for storage.
• Networking Equipment: Routers and switches that direct traffic efficiently to the right destination.

The boom in Data Centers has resulted in significant pushback – not in my backyard or county or city – across Canada and the U.S from bipartisan groups and activist groups. Why the backlash? It is the scope of the infrastructure needed to fuel these digital beasts.

Data Centres require continuous, uninterrupted power for artificial intelligence and cloud computing. This has resulted in surging electricity rates and a strain on the electrical grid in the areas where a Center is located.

The equipment in Data Centres generate extreme heat. Liquid cooling systems are needed to maintain optimal operating temperatures. They require millions of gallons of water every day. Areas with limited water resources are concerned about dropping water tables, water rights and water quality.

The emergency diesel backup generators required in these facilities apparently produce immense amounts of nitrogen oxide emissions raising concerns over local air quality and respiratory illness.

In essence, we are talking about giant energy sucking, water gulping and potentially air polluting digital fortresses setting up shop and competing with other businesses and residents for resources. One can understand the concerns.

But something else comes to mind in terms of risk. If you are a terrorist group wanting to cripple the country you are idealistically at odds with, what better way to do so than bombing the Data Centers? The ripple effect on the country’s economy could be devastating.

These digital fortresses have extensive security measures – biometric scanning, gated perimeters and 24/7 monitoring. But the ultimate irony is that an AI drone powered by the Data Center may be the device that drops the bombs that reduces the facility to rubble.

Dear Litigious Doug:

I have been highly critical of your actions as Premier of Ontario. But it occurs to me that I have been delinquent in giving credit where credit is due. You have set a new high water mark for the number of court battles waged singlehandedly keeping the courts in business.

The list of your government’s court cases – a dozen or more – is eye-opening and I venture to say unprecedented. A few examples of these battles starting with ones you have lost:

LOST Bill 124: Public Sector Wage Cap

The province’s highest courts declared this law, which capped salary increases for broader public sector workers, to be unconstitutional. You were forced to repeal the law. Justice 1: Ford :0

LOST Phone Logs and Transparency

You were pressured to disclose records from your personal device made regarding the controversial Greenbelt land development. You took the matter to court block release of the records but lost.

You found a way around that ruling by changing the Freedom of Information laws. Of course, those changes are going to be challenged in court as well. Good luck with that one. Justice 2: Ford: 0

LOST Ministerial Zoning Orders

In Bill 197, the COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, you tried to sneak through changes to rules relating to Ministerial Zoning Orders to fast-track land development projects. The courts ruled that you violated the Environmental Bill of Rights which requires you to consult with Ontarians before making such changes. Justice 3: Ford: 0

LOST Carbon Pricing

You campaigned on a promise to fight the federal Liberal’s carbon pricing program and budgeted $30 million in taxpayer funds for the court battle. You lost this battle at every judicial level. The Supreme Court brought a definitive end to the legal challenges. Justice 4: Ford: 0

LOST Cabinet Mandate Letters

You have been waging a three-year battle to keep secret your mandate letters to cabinet ministers. The Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner ordered your government to release the documents. You appealed to Ontario’s Divisional Court to overturn the decision but lost that case too.

Still undaunted, you took the matter to the Ontario Court of Appeal. The judges have not yet rendered their decision but they have not been inclined to support anything you want to do. Justice 5: Ford: 0

Well, it seems I have run out of space before I get to the few court cases you have won. Sorry about that. I was only able to reference less than half of the cases you have lost. How much taxpayer money went down the drain fighting those losing battles? Oh, I forgot. You do not disclose that kind of thing.

The verdict that really matters is in. The legacy of expensive legal battles lost has become an anchor dragging you down. Enjoy what time you have left because that anchor will ensure you will never be elected again.

Hmmm, have you observed me being lost in thought?

I have always had a tendency to get lost in my thoughts. I assumed it was a quirk in my brain that made me a daydreamer. I am quirky by nature which you will have observed if you know me. But it seems this trait is more common than I imagined.

Scientific studies have concluded that a wandering mind is a function of the brain’s default mode network – an interconnected system of brain regions that activates when a person is in a state of wakeful rest and not focused on the outside world.

The default mode network is responsible for internally-focused tasks such as daydreaming, self-reflection, recalling memories and envisioning the future. For those of us who are prone to this state, it can happen up to half of our waking hours. There are two types of wandering:

Spontaneous: Unintentional drifting often leading to distraction or being stuck in a loop of past events.

Deliberate: Intentional roaming which can be an excellent tool for brainstorming, problem-solving and sparking creativity.

I choose to believe that I fall mostly into the latter group. But I will admit to occasionally slipping into the spontaneous category. How often? Well, you probably do not want to know the answer to that question.

Mind wandering often occurs when driving. Driving under optimal conditions becomes an almost automatic activity that can require minimal use of the parts of the brain that engage in attention-demanding activity. This is known as decoupling.

Confession: This happened to me once in particular many years ago when I lived in Brampton. I was driving home from Hamilton early one evening. My mind went into wandering mode. At a certain point, I realized that I had gone miles past the cutoff to Highway 410. I had to refocus, figure out where I was and take an alternate route the rest of the way home.

An aside: I believe that Donald Trump suffers from a severe case of mind wandering in the spontaneous category. His brain is stuck in perpetual wandering mode seldom if ever finding its way back to focused thought. He lives in a daydream world of his own creation. This is the one and only thing I have in common with the unstable man.

Think of mind wandering as a flight to the clouds – leaving the grounding weight of reality to drift through limitless skies. It opens up a new world of imagination and creativity that empowers people like myself to be artists in their chosen field of expression.

And so, if the next time you see me I appear to be miles away lost in thought, do not be concerned. It is just the daydreamer in me tapping into the quirky, creative well that makes me who I am for better or for worse.

Hmmm, Sawflies are seldom seen but they punch above their weight in the ecosystem.

There are over 7,000 species of Sawflies in the world including 700 or more in Canada. But unless you are specifically looking for one, you will likely not see a Sawfly. They are wee little critters that fly at foot level and crawl on leaves or grass most often escaping notice.

Sawflies are named after the saw-like appearance of the ovipositor – the organ at the end of insect’s abdomen used for depositing eggs – which the females use to cut into plants to lay their eggs.

What is so special about Sawflies?

Science tells us that Sawflies first appeared 250 million years ago which is a testament to their survival skills. They are distributed globally although they are more diverse in the northernmost hemispheres.

Sawflies have unique defensive adaptations to cope with predation. Some Sawfly larvae regurgitate a distasteful, irritating liquid when threatened. Some species cluster together in large groups with heads facing outward for protection. Others use social signals such as lifting their abdomens in unison to intimidate predators.

What do Sawflies look like?

Sawflies look like small, stout, non-stinging wasps or flies. They have a column-like or cigar-shaped body with four clear wings often folded over their backs. They range in colour from black to metallic green, blue, yellow or brown.

You will not notice these physical characteristics unless you photograph a Sawfly as they are miniature insects – a fraction of an inch in most cases.

How long do they live and where?

The larval stage can last from months to even years. But adult Sawflies have a very short life expectancy of two weeks or less. They live on or in various trees, shrubs and grasses with some species adapted to specific plants.

Where do they fit in the quilt of nature?

Sawflies play a vital ecological role as primary consumers and nutrient recyclers of plant materials. They help maintain flora balance by feeding on fast-growing shrub species which allow more light to reach slow-grower plants. They are also a primary food source for birds, wasps, lizards, frogs and small mammals like shrews and deer mice.

Sawflies are tiny creatures with a very big role to play in the ecosystem – one more fascinating patch in the quilt of nature stitched together by threads of interdependence and natural balance.

Hmmm, did I latch the garden gate?

I feel the need to clarify a few misconceptions that I may have fallen victim to as I reach my late 60’s. I maintain that I am aging gracefully and defying the passage of the years despite any indications to the contrary.

You may think that my memory is not as sharp as it used to be. I dispute this perception. I do not forget things more often than I did when I was younger. I do sometimes remember things a few hours or a few days after I was supposed to address them. However, this is not being forgetful. It is delayed remembering which is an entirely different thing and not a sign of aging.

It is true that I drop objects more often these days. However, this is not a sign of loss of dexterity. It is entirely the fault of manufacturers who now make objects out of substances that are much more slippery and hard to maintain a grip on. They slip through my fingers because of this inferior manufacturing rather than because my grip is not what it once was.

You may have observed that I do not suffer fools and arrogant people as well as I once did. But this is not my fault nor a sign of less tolerance as I age. It is just that there are so many more fools and arrogant people than there used to be. If I complain more about people who annoy me, it is solely because there are so many more of them I have to suffer.

You may think that my memory is not as sharp as it once was… Wait, did I already mention that? Okay, never mind.

I will concede that I sometimes walk into a room and momentarily draw a blank on my reason for entering that room. But that is not a sign of a mind that slips a gear from time to time. It is just that I allow my mind to go where it wants to when it wants to. More important considerations take precedence. It is all about priorities.

It is true that I drop objects more often these days. This is not… Wait, did I already mention that? Okay, never mind.

There are more points that I wanted to make but they will not come to me at the moment. I have not forgotten then. I definitely have not. They are right there in my memory as clear as day. They are profound thoughts that will make your eyebrows raise when I circle back to them.

Oh, one more thing. I will concede that I sometimes walk into a room and momentarily draw a blank… Wait, did I already mention that? Okay, never mind.

I want it known that I am a garden in late bloom with all the beauty, colour and productivity that comes with the wisdom of the years. Yes, the gate to the garden is sometimes left unlatched. But that is only because some damn fool came by and distracted me causing my  fingers to loosen their grip on the slippery surface and delayed remembering taking effect.

Hmmm, how long will it be before the cap blows off the poisoned well?

As you will have heard on the news, the Ford Conservatives used their majority to ram through an omnibus budget bill in the Ontario Legislature. Bill 97 included, among other things, the controversial plan to amalgamate conservation authorities and the blatantly self-serving changes to Freedom of Information laws.

For the record, the usual legislative process sees bills go to committees where affected groups and members of the public have a change to weigh in. Members from opposition can propose and debate amendments. In other words, the democratic process at work.

But the Ford government chose to skip committee sessions and limit the legislature to a heated question period and debate in a rare light-night setting. In other words, to hell with the democratic process. We (the Ford government) have too much dirty laundry we do not want to be aired.

Freedom of Information (FOI) laws are designed to give the public access to information from public institutions ensuring transparency. Journalists have used them to report groundbreaking stories such as the controversial closure of the Ontario Science Centre and the Greenbelt Scandal. In other words, the democratic process at work.

The changes the Ford government rammed through exempt the premier, cabinet ministers and parliamentary assistants from being subject to Freedom of Information laws. In other words, the laws apply to everyone except us. We (the Ford Government) assert the right to operate without transparency and without accountability. In other words, to hell with the democratic process.

And oh, by the way, the changes to the Freedom of Information laws are retroactive. So we (the Ford Government) are slamming the door shut on access to the cellphone records the media wants relating to the Greenbelt Scandal. In other words, to hell with the democratic process.

So to summarize, the omnibus budget bill that was rammed through:

Gives the Ford Government carte blanche to operate behind closed doors, make backroom deals and generally do as they please with little accountability.

Guts the investigation into the Greenbelt Scandal and attempts to ensure that Ford’s dirty laundry will not see the light of day.

And oh yeah, the purchase of the $28.5 million private jet for Doug Ford? So sorry, we (the Ford government) are so out of touch we never thought it would be an issue. We sold it back to Bombardier. No, you do not get to know what we had to agree to in order to make that happen.

The Ford Government has became a poisoned well with Doug Ford doing all he can to cap the well and keep anyone from peering into it. But we all know what is down there and what a terrible odour it emits. Sooner or later the truth will come out. It always does.

Hmmm, are his handlers and inner circle now as much to blame as Trump himself?

I really do not want to keep posting about Trump. Honestly, I do not. But I feel compelled to document his increasingly indefensible actions and his accelerating descent into narcissistic delusions.

When I first heard about the AI-generated image of Trump as Jesus appearing to heal a sick man on a bed, I assumed it was a fake created by one of his many critics. When I learned that it actually was published by Trump on his Truth Social site, I was aghast.

In case you missed it, the image depicts Trump wearing a white robe, with a glowing hand on the forehead of a sick man, bearing an obvious resemblance to Jesus healing the infirm. In the background, images included: the Statute of Liberty, a large U.S. fluttering flag, fighter jets and an eagle, a nurse, a woman praying and what appeared to be a soldier in uniform.

My first reaction was: Does Trump really have no shame? Is there no limit to how low he will stoop? After a bit more consideration, I found myself wondering: Was this a deliberate act of provocation on his part? Does he find such perverse pleasure in pissing people off that he simply cannot restrain himself?

Eventually I arrived at the only conclusion that makes any degree of sense. There is simply no rhyme or reason to Trump’s actions. He lives entirely within his own made-up world that makes no sense to anyone but himself. His inflated view of his own importance has reached the level of irreversible delusion.

The image was posted shortly after Trump used his Truth Social platform to attack Pope Leo who has been a vocal critic of the U.S. war in Iran as well as Trump’s foreign and immigration policies. The Pope’s plea: Let those who have weapons lay them down. Let those who the power to unleash wars choose peace.

Trump (or more specifically, his handlers) did remove the image from Truth Social and attempted minimal damage control saying that he believed the image depicted him as a doctor next to a Red Cross worker. Absolutely no one is buying that explanation.

And if the first image was not egregious enough, Trump then posted an AI-generated image of himself being embraced by Christ with an American flag in the background.

This latest act of provocation is yet one more example of Trump’s rapidly accelerating devolution into what can only be characterized as a swamp of self-delusion. He has developed a Christ Complex or some other form of personality disorder of that nature.

One would hope that his handlers and inner circle would have reached the point of thinking: OMG, I can’t believe he did that! We cannot let this go on any longer. But it appears that they are all-in on propping him up no matter how unstable and dangerous he becomes.

Trump is edging every closer to the cliff edge of his presidency. He is staggering on the edge of the cliff of a deep, threatening and unpredictable sea which is waiting to swallow him up. If his handlers do not put shackles on him soon, if that is even possible, he will tumble over the edge.

The chaos that will follow Trump’s plummet into the sea of irreversible bedlam could cripple the U.S. sending shockwaves around the world. At this point, those who prop him up – and refuse to take responsibility for what so clearly needs to be done – are as much to blame for what is happening as Trump himself. They will go down with him when he topples over the edge.

Hmmm, did you know you can now get a prescription for the calming whisper of Mother Nature?

Those of us who immerse ourselves in nature have known for a long time the health benefits of doing so. It is a vital component or our mental and physical wellbeing. Research shows that spending as little as two hours in nature each week can improve physical and mental health.

Now the healthcare profession is getting on board with the idea. It may sound too good to be true. But it is a reality. Licensed healthcare professionals, such as physicians, nurses and therapists, can now provide a free nature prescription in areas where the local conservation authority or equivalent is a participating body.

Park Prescriptions began as grassroots movement in the United States and has now spread to Canada. PaRx Canada’s Nature Prescription, an initiative of BC Parks Foundation, is catching on here in Ontario.

Healthcare professionals participating in this program can quite literally prescribe time outdoors as part of everyday health. These professionals receive a PaRx custom prescription file and a unique provider code. They can provide a prescription that entitles their patients to a free, time-specific pass to local conservation areas or national parks.

Here in Hamilton where I live, these healthcare professionals can prescribe free 30-day membership passes to Hamilton Conservation Authority areas such as Dundas Valley Conservation Area, Christie Lake Conservation Area and Valens Lake Conservation Area.

Other participating bodies in Ontario include: Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, Conservation Halton, Kawartha Conservation, Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority and Credit Valley Conservation Authority. Parks Canada is also a participating body.

The three pillars of health – sleep, nutrition and exercise – are a long established principle. Now enlightened healthcare professionals are adding nature as a fourth pillar. The documented health benefits of communing with nature are numerous and include:

Reduced stress and anxiety: Natural settings help calm the nervous system lowering cortisol levels and easing feelings of stress and anxiety.

Pain reduction: Being in natural environments has been shown to lower perceived pain levels by reducing stress and promoting relaxation.

Better mood: Time spent in nature can reduce symptoms of depression helping to improve mood and emotional balance.

Living longer: Spending time in nature is linked to lower mortality rates.

Nature’s calming whisper has long been a source of solace to me and a means of distancing myself from the pressures of modern life. I am a self-prescribed nature worshiper. Now you can get your own very real and free prescription to the healing effects of Mother Nature.

My personal testimonial: Time spent communing with nature will far exceed the benefits of any medications that come from a pharmacy.
