So I am going to lay it all out here. It is what it is. I love you all and want the best for you, although I can only do so much. Thank you for taking the time to read this and watch the video of me being me.

I needed to get away from social media, went to the park and fed some squirrels and then off to the ocean beach. It got colder when the sun became weaker. Made a new friend and he likes to swim everyday! I start this video with weight loss topic.

I shelled peanuts for the peacocks and left the bag of peanuts in the shell at home by mistake, so It was a duck feeding day. I did feed some squirrels as the peacocks never walked up? I had a nice day at the park as always! That is what matters. I hope you enjoy this mellow park video, thanks for watching!

Back doing what I love to do on a cloudy not so cold January day in Victoria BC. I hope you enjoy my little adventure. It went from a nice warm morning to a coldness in the air in the afternoon. It has been a week since my New Years swim video so I thought I should post something. Thank you for watching!

This convenience certainly has some cultural trade-off, but that might be what is evolution of the humans.

      This beard is new for me, and the gray was looking messy and made me look older. I am dying it now and I am happy with the outcome. One of my videos I talk about the complexion issue I had while starting this. Now I am to affraid to shave it off cause I will have acne like I did when I was 17.🤣
