Roma

Epic and well felt. The cast - hundreds of period dressed extras, the cinematography, one of the best films of 2018.

Russel Brand

Down the clickhole of Russel Brand on YouTube. He's bright, clearly, and his mind frequently struggles to keep up with his mouth. And he does a fine job of being outrageous, cheeky, the seducer, the bad boy, and he's damned good company (to watch), throwing his invariably dry hosts on their ass or otherwise upsetting or challenging the situation.

So, click, click, click, and eventually you hit his "TREWS" channel, True News, an oxymoron if ever there was one. A few years since he's started this, he's clearly an awful lot less manic, calmer, he's kind-of doing the Jim Carey, Guru, Comedian come Messiah, the grey beard of wisdom, the 12 steps, they trampled him with the higher power, I don't disagree, I could use his advice at every turn, but - for the layperson, at least, I think , all this newfound enlightenment makes him boring.

Meanwhile, prospecting ...

Making big plans for summer, and in this department there's lots to be done. I mean LOTS. And here - with a few carefully worded queries - the internet becomes interesting again.

Really, it's been about 2 years, probably more, since I went deep into the topic, in which time there have been dozens of new maps uploaded, updated, and I'm finding new information with every turn of the shovel.

The death of Oil and Gas has spelled a new boom in prospecting the province, looking at other opportunities, and the information, largely, is online and free to search..

Good. And the weather, outside, almost good enough, if only I'd packed my shovel and pans back from Nelson, but that's only a day trip away, and I might just have to make it, and when boredom overwhelms me I go online and searching, planning the summers riches...
