Journal - Burnaby -Davie Street

Thank you God.

I’ve been using BlogTouch for blogging for 13 years and it was great.  It’s closed now I I’m back to using Blogger again.  It’s only opening a box like the iPhone.  Irritating.

I had my meeting this morning. Walked Madigan. After the meeting I rode the Harley with Madigan in his box to meet up with Laura for lunch. 

I stopped at Trev Deely to buy a new mask for my full helmet.  It smelled.  Sweat and Madigan had ticketed on it.  The masks are costly. So I bought a new helmet $300. It’s sweet.  I went year with one helmet and now I’ve replaced my helmet in 2 years.  Major safety device.  Smells great too. 

I found parking at Amoka. Ordered cappuccino. Paid Parking. Laura joined us.  Madigan was bouncing and jumping ecstatic.

I made a run down to Little Sister to get some advice. I bought a trans history before.  They sell toys too. But their book section is the best on LGBTQ.  

I had picked up my new trailer hitch for motorhome at Purolater yesterday and visited Laura then.  She’s going to be house sitting for her boss and sister in the next couple of weeks.  The long weekend is looking like we’ll be here since I’ve not found anywhere better to go. The delay in the insurance for the camper means it’s remaining on the truck so either I get it off the truck or bring the truck with me.  That may be the trick for hunting season which begins with bow Sept 1 but really Sept 10 is rifle. I’m planning on rifle hunting and we’re booked in October for a week TG north of Kamloops.  

The ride downtown on the Harley and visit with Laura was great. The ride home was really hot and start and stop traffic.  I went out again and picked up post and dropped off laundry.  Last night I watched Naked Gun with Nielsen and Priscilla Presley. There’s a new one with Liam Nielsen and Pamela Anderson. I’m looking forward to that one.  I liked that Pamela Anderson says she journals a lot and writes poetry. I’m journaling but not making headway yet on completing the books I’ve begun.  

Listening to audiobook Kindnes by dr Goldman of White coat Black Art CBC doctor show.  It’s fascinating on fMRI work on amygdala and empathy.  I loved hearing that psychopaths brains light up when they see picture and imagine them being hurt but when they see same picture and imagine someone else being hurt the normal empathy spots in amygdala adn cingluate don’t fire but rather a pleasure center one does.  He describes Machiavellian psychopathic traits and functional psychopaths a term I don’t like. I liked cluster b with psychopaths, sociopaths and antisocial and narcissists , borderline and histrionic of dam 5 .  I’m keeping up I guess. I think ‘disorder’ and ‘traits’ is at issue.  Traits like even ‘antisocial’ have value.  

Laura bought me brunch, cappuccino with breakfast croissant , delicious
