Yeah, it's YouTube so by and large junk-candy, but - a couple of creators there that have some interesting stuff.
Wintertime, the snow and the cold are settling in, the daughter's off in Bankok (the sane one in the family, and why didn't I think of that? Or budget for it...) - so - look at videos of interest to me.
The first, a long video on the rubies of Mogok - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjaRE1bE5MU. Of interest noting the landscape the finds are made in, the rocks, the many, many similarities with our geology here...
And then a couple of interesting short videos made by "The Trek Planner" and "Desert Drifter", who basically scour the desert on Google Maps - Utah, Arizona, etc, then go looking for what's there....
Always, Ancient Ancestral Pueblos, potshards, arrowheads. Short adventures for those trapped in a cold climate. Always they find something interesting, and they're responsible adventurers, leaving the potshards and arrowheads behind for others to find and enjoy.
Anyways, my media diet as of late, could use some improvement (but no more fucking-how-to-art-videos!!!).

Now it would be unbelievable, only it isn't, and despite the unreliability of most of the news sources reporting it it's been fact-checked on Snopes, and yes, yes, as a matter of fact it is true.
Note that no accountability has been laid for the last pandemic, and a good lot of American Money is tied up in that biolab/hazard in Wuhan.
There is no reasonable reason to doubt that was the epicenter of the Covid Pandemic, and - to see them playing around with even more dangerous viruses - well, it's insane. It's like it's time for the free world to order a thermonuclear attack upon Wuhan that leaves not a cockroach alive for 100 mile radius. I'm not kidding, they played with fire before, they're doing it again...
On that note, since it's no longer in the news, Excess Mortality Rates (Presumably from Covid) are still up nationwide - 9% on average, although depending on your province/region that number can be much higher. Find the stats here: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-x/71-607-x2021028-eng.htm. They're actually up worldwide, wherever you check, so make of that what you will.

One of North America's earliest recorded Native American Explorers, member of the Yazoo Tribe who crossed from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Before Lewis and Clarke, merely (I am gathering) in the spirit of curiosity.

Now, this is but one journey, in 15,000 years, we can be sure there were a great many others.

Clearly, I've never endorsed a Wal-Mart, the institution is evil, if not inevitable. But it doesn't need be inevitable. Anyways, a good article detailing all the excellent reasons why no one of conscience should be shopping at Wal-Mart.
