I find it hard to express just what a magnificent performer Estas Tonne is. His blend of mild electronics and echo enhances his classical style immensely and must be stunning to happen upon if he was playing on the street, in your city. The best compliment I can give Estas Tonne is that time...
Was outside at 6:30 am, wandering about with my coffee, when I saw my neighbours in the field, romping about.
They don't talk much, but they do seem to like carrots.
By the time I got back to the fence-line with my phone, two had already wandered off but this lovely creature remained.
I'll...
OK. I don't get it. Why on earth would the DOJ possibly care about this enough to launch a lawsuit?
Can some of you folks explain this to me because it certainly looks like outright harassment from where I am sitting...
Just wanted to briefly let y'all know about an interesting thing that came up in a conversation I had over Zoom the other night. I was speaking with a fellow who had been in prison in Kentucky for 9 years and asked him how it compared to Canadian prisons. (He was a Canadian citizen who ran...

As some of you may recall, I have been an ardent Diablo player almost since the game came out and have played the various iterations through the years.
I have noticed something unusual about Diablo IV, however.
Diablo 1 grabbed me almost from the get go, and I played it for years after.
Diablo...

The prison camp is in the dry interior of British Columbia and is surrounded by pristine mountains on three side. The views are as picturesque as things get, aside from the double fence and barbed wire. Cancel them out, and it was like being at a provincial park with million-dollar vistas.
I’m...
I've been going on and on about councilling and the various groups I am a part of, so I thought I'd spill the beans once and for all and give you an idea of what a typical week in recovery is like for me. :)
Monday @ 7:00 pm I attend a 12 Step meeting via zoom for an hour plus. There are...
Part Two: Transfer Day
Right after “breakfast”, I was turning in my food tray when the Corrections Officer at the front desk looked up and said, “Get your stuff together. You are leaving in fifteen minutes.”
In ten minutes, I was standing at the door ready for the next stage of this crazy...

I don't know about you, but I have seen so many wacky videos on Tik-Tok that I am a bit stunned that people are OK with uploading virtually anything (Legal) for others to peruse. This goes well beyond foolish youngsters posting videos they might later regret. One of the things I do find...
*strap in; there may be turbulence*
My incarceration began on June 21, 2021, and was nothing like what I expected. You see, the moment the bailiff slapped the handcuffs on me in court I was no longer a person in the conventional sense. I was a “client” of the system. My number was more...
What follows is a mildly editted version of the post I placed in Site Feedback a few days ago.
Hiya folks,
I thought I’d set up a thread here just to gauge what I can and cannot say on the forums. Forgive me for taking a bit of time to write this, but it is daunting subject matter to reveal...
Long story short, I have a friend who is turning 66 in August and I'm already noticing that she is "missing" things, forgets things, repeats herself and does not listen.
Her husband and I have discussed this but he flat out said, "Oh, she will never go to the doctor for this. She knows...
Greetings RF-lings, it is I, YmirGF back from a long absence that was not my plan and NOT RF’s fault.
*Ominous music stats playing*
I do hope everyone is well and life on RF has been good. I am sorry for unceremoniously leaving you all on that cold January morning in 2018. The adventure that...
Over the last few days, I've been toying with the idea of getting a smaller dog breed just for companionship. The critter would have the run of a large yard and would live life like a king or queen. That is a given at Chez Ymir. The other neat idea is that I would have to take the little...
Well, like the customer who took the video, I was a bit taken back by the unprofessional insanity of the former employee. I simply cannot imagine treating any potential client in this way. My guess is that the young man who went nuts has really shot his toes off because who would want to...
As many here know, I've been an armchair meteorologist for all my adult life, with a particular passion for extreme weather, mesocyclones, lightning and tornadoes. I have read almost everything on the topic of tornadoes and sat through hundreds (probably thousands) of hours watching tornado...
