Winterhaven, California, Feb. 3, 2025

I was rudely awoken by a 7 am call from a fellow claiming he was with Cyberforce Security in the UK informing me that my identity had been stolen.  He began to ask me4 questions about my bitcoin and internet activity .

There’s are fundamental rules of communication, “information is tit for tat’ and ‘what’s in it for me’.  He failed the tests and I then realized that as he was recording my voice he could be collecting voice data for future misuse.  Mother’s advice especially relevant in the age of internet ‘don’t talk to strangers’.   My voice is a ‘recognition’ parameter like my face’ for private data.  I will have to contact the police and local security services with phone number call and date and name to assist them.  For all I know he was a Cyberforce Security agent calling me to sell me services of their company.  The trouble is I really don’t like calls outside of office hours early morning or evening.

So my morning meditation and routine has been disrupted. I did walk the dog.  That’s critical. I had coffee and took my vitamins and yoghurt.  I have a banana to eat but finished off the hard boiled eggs.

My accountant asked for paperwork yesterday.  Kevin has my Camper and will be doing work on it.

I had a fabulous meal last night, barbecued steak and baked potato, butter and sour cream.  Madigan agreed it was the best steak.  We watched the last episode of Space Force and enjoyed it.  But I love everything that John Malkovitch is in and loved Lisa Kudrow. I think she has the sexiest voice and loved her role as prison wife. 

I’m watching tv and looking at social media. I should be climbing mountains running and skydiving.  Meanwhile my back hurts and what I really like doing is lying on the couch in the evening watching tv.  We did that as kids in my home growing up. Eating oranges .  I’ve mandarins here.

I’m planning on leaving Friday. The apogee of this journey. Heading back.  Fountain of youth again for a week then a few days heading north but trying to stay in the warm. Maybe go to the coast but I really liked Bakersfield.  I plan 3-4 hours driving and then I have my 4 days of week work.

Last year when I got into the rain and cold in the north I had no desire to slow down but sped up home looking forward to seeing friends and being back in Canada. I don’t know if Canada will be so great if Carney continues to align us with Communist China which Xi Jin Ping has made into a dictatorship purging his cabinet of rivals.  It’s like Stalin all over again and Carney only is interested in himself.  

The Alberta Separation would be something as I’d really want to move there if they did. I think of moving to Alberta but frankly I really like my work and virtual work and being able to live and travel in this motorhome.  

The packing up and stowing will begin today.  That’s always a bit anxiety provoking. Loading the Vespa. I have to move the motorhome forward so will do that last thing on Friday. I actually look forward to driving on the open road.  It’s all becoming doable and less a steep learning curve.

I received some back pay and am okay financially despite costs and time off. I have anxiety and it’s okay. I pray for my ‘daily bread’ and really would like my motorhome loan paid off. Of course once that was done I’d have another concern. Right now I want to tow a Maverick truck as next step and think I’ll go ahead with that when I get back. I want a year old one or a jeep. Everyone has a jeep to tow though occasionally I see a truck.  L

I really am blessed. Each day I wake up up and thank God for Madigan.  

Thank you God for this day. Help me be a better doctor and help me know thy will and have the power to carry it out. Thank you for this journey and this life today. 

Thank you Jesus.
