Current prime minister Carney made a big speech that people liked.

He's positioning things as "gotta get rid of pesky indigenous people, public servants, and disabled and minority folks if we don't want to live under Trump"

I don't love it.

No giant red flags from medication. I can tell at this point that the pill I was on was bouncing me gently through the 24 hour period I took it in.

I'm having more trouble shifting from one thing to another. My digestive system seems to be settling. My internal experience is different than it's been for a couple years maybe. I'm not sure if my body is actively weaker or I just haven't had enough rest and also have a different mind and time sense and disconnection ability so I'm not able to take the subtle cues they it's time to rest; it took me quite awhile to learn them in the beginning. Also maybe a bit less able to balance or lift my legs as high?

In excellent news I'm doing some germination tests on old corn seeds. Also there's a seed farmer who wrote about the trouble keeping his runner beans from crossing. Runner beans need to be pollinated but a creature, usually bees etc which have a certain flight distance. His were crossing and he realized it was because his pollinator was hummingbirds, which have a much greater flight distance.

The cats will get the corn germ tests as cat grass

The one runner bean I know by name is the scarlet runner bean, and those *definitely* attract hummingbirds. :-)

I should definitly not use them as a screen on my deck then. I have a loft ceiling and th hummingbirds come in, go up to the unreachable window, and exhaust themselvs to death unless I get a ladder and a broom and somehow catch them. I've had to keep every hummingbird plant off the deck; the previous owners had a feeder there. I think they've since learned to stay away.

PS They love the tubular haskap flowers too.
