OK - this is on the fly for the sake of P&S and it might be a complete flop, but I got a joke to tell:

~

there was this protector met up a bison angry and the bison exclaimed - "who protected the herd now long gone - I'm so lonely".....

~

the protector was a survivor and this helped in discourse when the protector survivor said:

what choice was there - what choice was there.....

~

the bison knew the wisdom of this, but the bison huffed and bristled and said - "oh no, protector survivor - there was a choice".....then the bison in an act of will got up close n breathed its breath into the kind protector survivor and no words were spoken but the bison expressed - the will to live is strong undeniable - irrefutable, resolute, and inviolate - indomitable and no way keep a good idea down.

~

The Bison stood up and wondered about all its kin now long gone, but it knew it survived and free will cannot be denied and good ideas will never die.

Happy the read you are settled in Simons Town.

I'd like to respectfully make a suggestion - mainly cause the name of Saint Paul came up in the discussion. Here it is:

So happy to hear P&S that you are getting settled in South Africa!

I am sad to report however that I don't think I'm gonna have any of these porters leftover to share - at least from this batch - they are just too good to let the sit on the shelf. But, if later you let me know - then of course - you are a welcome guest - and if you give me enough advance notice - I'll make a batch and have it ready to share!

Respectfully,

Ken

Many thanks Ken and now basking in a clear sky at 25C - it's uncanny but it's as if the last 14 years have disappeared and I am back home at last - it's been a shocking time in UK - and it's getting worse there. I'll get your link later and update you - have to rush now and buy a car!

Yes, this does seem, more and more, to be "Tyranny Disguised". 'We' have no say in anything except for that one, almost pointless, day each 5 years when we can decide what colour of tyranny we would prefer red, blue, green or anything in between.

At least Trudeau was upfront when he stole bank accounts and acted like a true dictator during the truckers protest.

(Hope the move went well)

Hi Greg - the move was perfect - sort of - but the angels came to the rescue and as always all is fine. Now well entrenched in Simons Town and after 14 years nothing has changed that much. Lots of catching up to do - but it's magical at 25C

But you are so right - the choice is a colour of our choice - but my plan is to not to chose anything except freedom! Now safe in the Global South I have options. Trudeau is but an idiot progeny of WEF.

Blessings
