On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

I am seeing boxes of Kellogg's product in my suburban Ottawa grocery store. Branded Wednesday and Stranger Things Demogorgon Crunch.

My brain, of course, takes in the packaging on the latter, and flashes back to a first-season episode of Space: 1999 called "Dragon's Domain". Scared the hell out of grade-school-me when I first saw it on CBC Regina TV. I cannot help suspecting that if the the modern marketing mavens at Kellogg's saw that episode of that series, the title critter would be cartoonified on the front of boxes of something called Space: 1999 - Dragon's Delight.

In addition to the federal election in Canada tomorrow, it came to my notice today that Mary Brown's Chicken - a competitor to KFC and Popeyes Louisiana Chicken HQed in Newfoundland and Labrador - is promoting tomorrow as National Superhero Day.

Apparently, there's a promotional arrangement with Marvel regarding the new Daredevil series on Disney+.

You'd think that, for a fast food chain based in Canada, they could work up an Alpha Flight project, right?

1. What striking federal workers actually do for a living.

2. The pursuit of truth about COVID-19's origins and how that pursuit affected one researcher.

3. Food supply chain concerns.

4. A proposal for automating tax-return filing for low-income Canadians. Might I qualify for this, and what information would I still have to have ready just in case they miss it?

5. Remote work: a perk or a right?

In case anyone's wondering: this morning, I focused on exercise. I got in an hour's walking along with my shopping errands. Diet, not so well, I think. I expect to get closer to "on track" with that tomorrow.

Hoping to hear from my social safety net contacts re: the progress on CPAP financing.

A couple of my job applications were declined over the weekend. So I'll keep looking.

Today was mostly a laundry day.

Tried my first pizza with a cauliflower crust tonight. I followed the instructions on the box with two slight modifications: eight minutes instead of seven, and dill seasoning. Standard pepperoni, mozzarella and tomato paste. It tasted rather bland, but I fault myself for that.

I'm watching Ottawa City Council on YouTube as I start this entry. Here's the expected agenda.

Among other things going on...

Grand theft sea cucumber in Sri Lanka. This goes to the topics of organized crime and food security.

We have one particular anti-mask/anti-vaccine troublemaker getting more infamous by the hour. You'll forgive my not naming either of his names, I trust.

Wayne Gretzky is leaving the front office of the Edmonton Oilers for Turner Sports.

Media ownership concentration continues to worsen because Amazon buying MGM, Alden Capital Group acquiring Tribune Publishing, and other instances.

An item from the University of Waterloo on paid sick leave. Noting multiple private-sector employers and provincial and state governments now worried that workers will use such sick leave in a proper and responsible manner if they get it...including the Ford regime.

More stuff of interest later today...

Listening to this show at the moment:

• I fed myself, and allowed myself to be fed.
• I touched base with friends in my Mac User Group for a couple of hours.
• I kept an eye on news via sources I consider reliable.
• I've downloaded resources for use with Clip Studio Paint.
• Started looking for similar resources for SketchUp 7. (Yes, it's outdated. I can still use it until the (also outdated) computer it's loaded on goes to pieces, right?)
• Got walking exercise.
• Photography practice in low light.

More as it develops.

Notice any omissions to this list, anyone?

I've sampled the perogies of the House of Targ on occasion. Usually, it was on their premises.

Now, though, you can get them, frozen, to go.
