That's actually quite a funny but unintentional missusspelling.
Ah yes, good old Gray Creek. On the banks of Kootenay Lake where you can spend the afternoon on the front porch, whittlin' away on an old tree branch, a little chewin' tabacky 'tween the cheek and gums and fresh groundhog and boiled sawgrass for vittles. You can watch your dog swim away from home for 3 days.
My evil, abusive father left this world in 1993, thank god!
He was 68.
I'm now 69 and my liver is fine.
Wow Cal, I had no idea there are hillbillies in BC, and I lived there for 19 years. Albeit on the beach and not in the hills. Maybe those American TV signals drifting over the border had some affect after all. Dang, who let the dog out 'gin?
My liver is fine, I was referring to 1824 when the US and UK measurements diverged. I think the British were world leaders in syphillis as well at the time. So between the booze and the Laudanum you do wonder how the empire held together, but it does explain the architecture of the time 😀
Largely fuelled by sugar, alcohol, opium, slavery and brutality toward anyone the elite thought of as inferior or who had the temerity to object. In 1833 the factories act mandated:
- no child workers under nine years of age
- employers must have an age certificate for their child workers
- children of 9-13 years to work no more than nine hours a day
- children of 13-18 years to work no more than 12 hours a day
- children are not to work at night
- two hours schooling each day for children
- four factory inspectors appointed to enforce the law
Apologies. Sometimes my social antennae don't work too well...
Still, I'm pleased even in 1833 people were beginning to recognise things were awful and wanted to change them. Even it was going to be nearly two hundred years before people could self identify as a tiger or bring their emotional support snake to work...
Enjoy retirement. Getting to do what you want to do when you want to do it is something it's difficult to put a price on. I've had to be more careful with my money, but time is, literally, irreplaceable. I want to enjoy whatever time I have left. I'm 66 btw.
My dad used to have a good TV degausing coil. Probably weighed ten pounds overall. Just an 18 inch diameter coil of copper magnet wire with electrical tape wrapping it.
Having speakers near a larger TV would cause color problems.
Having EV 15W, T250 and T350 drivers under the TV seemed to cause problems for sure.
