‘We cycle-travellers are rich beyond measure. Because we have all the time in the world’

Midday in the Sahara. There’s no-one to be seen. I push my bike amongst the outlying buildings. All is silence.

A small boy darts from nowhere and makes a snatch at my trailer’s tattered flag. I yell at him, he yells something back into the bright heat and darts away again – gone.

I hear the squeal and clang of a metal door and follow the sound, emerging from between the low houses and courtyards and onto what I guess is the main street; a slightly wider piece of desert between the mud-walled compounds. So this is a Nubian village. It is hot and sunny; eerily quiet. Obviously. Who’d be outside in this weather?

Padding towards a doorway across the street, I almost walk into the young man who steps out as I approach. If he’s surprised to bump into a grimy sunburned tramp wandering through his village, he hides it very well. More faces peer out from what I can now see is a little shop; men in purest white, women colourfully wrapped, stepping outside to meet me, all smiling broadly. This smile seems to be something of a permanent feature of the Nubians. With some exaggerated miming I explain that I am ill, desperate, and looking for a place to rest.

Immediate hilarity ensues and the entire village springs into life. Calls to action bounce down the street like squash balls: suddenly there are people everywhere. I’m ushered through a gate into one of the nearby compounds. Enclosed by a thick high wall of Nile mud, robust as concrete in the heat of the desert, the house I find inside is big and spacious. Little distinction is made between indoors and out – windows, doorways and arches have been carved from the dry walls, some areas roofed with palm-branch lattices, and the entire structure is painted in white, yellow and blue, appealingly simple in appearance. The young man introduces his three colleagues: civil engineers from faraway Khartoum, working on the new road. They will be my hosts, he says, for as long as I remain in need of a place to stay.

I’m shown to a spare bed, where I sit quietly and think, left for a moment to my own devices. I have been asked for no money in return for this hospitality. Yet the place is not a wealthy one; whatever my personal budget and notions of frugality, there’s little doubt that I have come here bearing the riches of kings. Should I offer something by way of thanks? Or would doing so strip away that human altruism that has brought such joy to my journey? Before I can find an answer to that question, my hosts return, and I am whisked off on a tour of the area.

The village sits beside a stripe of fertile land that reaches down to the banks of the Nile, criss-crossed with irrigation channels, dotted with stands of tall date palms and cultivated with wheat and beans. The little fields are fed by rusty diesel-powered pumps that are occasionally fired up to fill the channels with river water. Next come the house visits; I am a source of curiosity in Wawa, and I’m passed from family to family for the rest of the afternoon.

At the end of the day I find myself sharing a communal hang-out in the village centre with a handful of men. The TV is on, beaming images of crisis from around the world into this tiny dwelling in the desert. The day after I’d received my visa to enter Sudan from the country’s embassy back in Cairo, the international community had issued an arrest warrant for Omar Al-Bashir, the President of Sudan, over the small issue of several hundred thousand deaths and the displacement of two-and-a-half million of his own people. This was merely the latest set of figures to give the illusion that Sudan’s eternal conflicts were somehow quantifiable. The following day, all visas were off. I could call myself lucky to have got that green sticker, if it weren’t grotesque to mention good fortune at all in the light of the events that led to such a decree.

And I think of none of this, because I’m sitting in the cool shade, drinking tea and laughing with strangers. And the sun sinks below the skyline in the ravaged, war-torn, peaceful and hospitable country of Sudan.

I wish.

I wish … I could be doing this with Tenny. I have to say it.

This is such a fantastic experience. But I really … I really wish I could be sharing it with her. It would be so good to be able to do this with, er …

Yeah – with the woman who I love.

I know that right now it’s not possible. I know that, but it doesn’t make any difference: I’m always thinking about it. Always. Always thinking about her, being with her … that moment when I see her again.

And every time I have an experience, whether it’s good or bad, I’m always thinking: it would be so good – it would be so good to be sharing this, even if it’s a bad experience, it would be so good to be sharing it with Tenny.

I don’t regret doing this.

But it would make such a big difference to be doing it with her.

And that’s all I want to say, really.

‘You look tired!’

‘Huh? Ah. Yeah. We slept in a park last night. Just down there.’ Mark pointed wearily down the lakeside promenade to a grassy, tree-studded park, where a group of Swiss youths were setting up a game of bowls, unaware that the green had until a few minutes ago been somebody’s bedroom.

‘Aha! You’re going far?’

‘Round the world!’ we mumbled in chorus.

‘Mmm. Well,’ grinned the slender grey-haired lady, ‘I’ve also been on a kind of “world tour”. So, if you’re not in a rush, I’d like to invite you to my place. We can chat. You can rest. You can spend the day there if you like? Stay the night, even. It’s no trouble.’

Invitations like this had become a frequent feature of our journey across Western Europe. By far the most effective method of eliciting them had been to ask plainly for help – for a water-bottle refill, or, if we were feeling lucky, for a spot to pitch our tents. Mark had become the designated door-knocker after a brilliant early run in the Netherlands, where we’d made this astonishing discovery. Putting on a happily clueless face, he would unveil his goatee, put on a cycling headband that looked to the untrained eye like a fluorescent-yellow sock, and amble vaguely towards his quarry. And the sight of this pitiful creature seemed to awaken the hospitality buried in every human being.

It may also have been that he didn’t take things this as seriously as I did. For me, stopping a passer-by or knocking on a door was a sign of weakness. The journey I’d always imagined was supposed to be a demonstration of self-sufficiency, and my hesitant approaches seemed to put people off. But as far as Mark was concerned, he was just asking for help. And by doing so, he had become responsible for a staggering list of back gardens, garage floors, spare rooms and sofas on which we had spent our nights since we had vowed in that leaky Amsterdam hostel to abandon paid accommodation entirely. These encounters had been diverse; our hosts revealed a dazzling array of hobbies and professions and views on the world. And, in that way, farmers, plumbers, school teachers, conservationists, diplomats, judges, newspaper editors, blacksmiths, businessmen, translators, potters, water-polo coaches, vagrants and violinists had become part of the journey I’d always imagined would be about sweat, strain, mountains, forests, wild camps, sunsets and the purest form of independence.

Mirella’s unexpected invitation was unusual in that it had arrived unsolicited – and at seven-thirty in the morning. As we waited on the lakeside wall while she ran some errands, I wondered what kind of ‘world tour’ she’d been on. It wasn’t likely to compare to what we were doing, of course, but it would be fun to hear about it anyway. Soon we found ourselves cycling behind our unexpected host into the terraced suburbs of Montreux, where we weaved up the steep and crooked alleys to Mirella’s home. We wheeled our bikes into the garage, paused briefly to admire the wizened old touring steeds that rested inside, and followed her into a house full of airy rooms and natural light; a monument to simplicity, overlooking Lake Geneva – the most beautiful bathroom on Earth, she said.

Mirella unpacked her shopping in the kitchen and quietly explained that she’d spent a total of twelve years on the road with her husband, over the course of three separate world tours. India, Australia, Tibet, China, Yemen, Oman – the roll-call went on, but without a hint that she was merely ticking off a list of countries. Her ride hadn’t hinged upon big distances or impressive-sounding continental crossings, and she clearly didn’t think herself superior as a result of her achievements. The Italian-born nurse was in her fifties and had only recently returned to Switzerland after eight continuous years of life on the world’s back roads, finishing her ride back into Europe by following the River Danube as we were planning to do on our way towards Asia.

Her husband Luc, she said, was in Taiwan on a photography assignment, and if the couple had children who’d grown up and left home, Mirella didn’t mention them. While we slumped half-asleep in the sitting-room, not quite knowing what to make of our chance encounter, she cooked us a lunch of spaghetti alla Bolognese and watched in amusement as we shovelled vast quantities of it down our throats. I couldn’t comprehend what she’d done, try as I might, my world already in a spin after only four weeks on the road.

Twelve years.

‘So,’ enquired Mirella as we finished off the last of the pasta, ‘what kind of distances are you guys doing each day?’

The question came with a tilt of inquisitiveness. But there was something else beneath it. Was it suspicion? Amusement? The question was a test, designed to reveal something about the way we were conducting our journey – something that we thought was superficial, but that would tell her a great deal.

‘Hmm … about seventy or eighty kilometres on average?’ I haltingly put the figures to Andy and Mark, still having to convert from miles. I supposed that bigger numbers would sound more credible to a world-class veteran like Mirella.

‘Maybe less, actually, I think … sixty. Sometimes fifty …’

‘It really depends on a lot of things …’

‘We’ve never done more than ninety so far, to be honest …’

‘We’re trying not to rush …’

Mirella had been listening to the excuses we found ourselves making for our disappointing progress, and was nodding knowingly.

‘Good!’ she smiled. ‘Luc and I almost never rode more than fifty kilometres in a day. Sometimes forty, thirty, twenty – it wasn’t important.’

She sat forward in her chair. ‘You know what? There’s really no point in going fast, riding far. We stopped whenever it felt right, even if we’d only travelled ten kilometres. Because it’s when you step off the bike that you’re really in the place. The cycling itself is not the point. It’s not the point at all.’

Mirella gazed up at the ceiling, allowing memories to flood in.

‘We always took our time – camping in wonderful wild places, making friends, spending long periods of time off our bikes. We spent six months on a sailboat in the South Pacific. Another six months on a horse ranch in Australia. Wherever we stopped and dismounted, things would happen. We let people come to us – express their hospitality, be curious. Then we would see the place through their eyes. Eventually we found that we’d travelled tens of thousands of kilometres in that way. But we could never have had those experiences if we had just pedalled like crazy all the time.

‘So you’re really doing a good thing, guys. Keep it slow. Enjoy life.’

After lunch, Mirella invited us into a tiny study with a couple of chairs and an ancient computer, and treated us to an extended version of the slide-show she presented at public events. Image after glorious image, perfect in colour and composition, portraying all the subtleties and spectacles of her and her husband’s filtration through the cultures and landscapes of the world. More than twenty thousand pictures had been captured on traditional negative film, carefully packed away, developed, and boiled down to the selection that now passed before our eyes. These spellbinding photos had been crafted with the considered strokes of a master artist, putting my own efforts at camera work to shame. And the story she wove through the images brought a lump to my throat – as I sat in the tiny study in my sponsored T‑shirt, taken far away from Switzerland, to places where Technicolor characters swept through lands of colour and detail, as exotic as distant galaxies. I suddenly found myself fighting back tears.

‘We might not have much in the way of money, or possessions,’ said Mirella, quietly, sitting cross-legged on a folding chair by the computer desk. ‘But we cycle-travellers are rich beyond measure. Because we have all the time in the world.’

It’s Friday, which means the comments section is open for questions about this week’s instalments. Fire away!

2 replies on “‘We cycle-travellers are rich beyond measure. Because we have all the time in the world’”

Really getting quite addicted to your installments coming in. This is my favourite chapter so far. Been following your blog for two or 3 years no, been putting of getting your book. Upon reading this I’d really like a signed copy.

Wow, Tom this just gets better with each post. This lady must have been the pivot point of you’re entire travel (adventure) life. Slow and without purpose are not expressions we cultivate in the west. We are big game hunters, trophy collectors. Can you fathom the fact, Mirella’s tiny study just hosted your readers through your writing. Further, your descriptive narrative can change people’s pace. shalom.

Top Tips for Saving Money with Your Trucking Business

The trucking industry is one of the most important parts of the freight business. Many millions of tons of freight are carried every year on the three million trucks that wind their way across the U.S. However, trying to run a trucking company isn’t without its pressures, there are rising costs and low freight prices to consider as well as the maintenance of the trucks. For a small trucking company, this can make things difficult, to the point where they need to cut costs.

Trucking Business

Here are some easy ways you can make your trucking company run leaner.

Analyze Your Expenditure

Before you can think about cutting costs, you need to know where that money is going. There might be a lot of money being wasted that you can identify and try to save. Firstly, you need to think about your fixed outgoings. These are things like rentals, insurance, taxes and equipment. These things are not likely to change much so you can pretty much say that these are unavoidable. Other expenses are variables, these are things like fuel, tires, meals and lodging costs. These costs can be reduced if you find an efficient way to do them, though you still need to cover the basics. For example, you still need to buy tires when they need changing, or your vehicles won’t be legal. What you need to do is give this information to a local accountant or input it into accounting software and see if there are any ways you can save money.

Cheaper Alternatives

One way that you can cut costs is to think about cheaper alternatives to the things you currently buy. For example, buying some cheaper priced tires or perhaps buying cheaper paper for the printers. Although you don’t want to be reducing things too far, they have to be cost-effective. You might be able to start renegotiating some of your contracts or giving them to other companies. If you are using a certain hotel for your drivers to stay in, then try to see if you can get a cheaper deal there or with another hotel. It might mean the rooms aren’t quite as nice, but it will help to cut the costs.

Find More Profitable Routes or Freight

One way you can generate income and save costs could be to look for more lucrative routes or freight. It might mean that your drivers will have to cover more miles, but you can weigh up the costs of this against overnight lodging and fuel. One way you might be able to save on fuel costs is to buy it where the cost is lower.If you add additional fuel tanks to your trucks, then they might be able to travel further and save money buying fuel where costs less. You can learn more about these tanks online.

If you are running a small business, then you won’t like the idea of separating your company. However, to keep your costs down, it might be a good idea to consider outsourcing certain functions. The best ones to separate could be recruitment, payroll, cleaning and maintenance, as they are not part of the core business. By outsourcing, you can also try to maintain the rest of the company without further cost-cutting exercises. It is important that the companies you are outsourcing to are going to provide the same level of cover as you were getting before, otherwise it won’t be a good saving.

Try Fuel Efficiencies

Probably your second largest expense is your fuel bill, it is a big part of what keeps your company going, but it can also be crippling if the prices rise too high. That is why it is vital that you try to teach your drivers to use fuel efficiently and to try not to waste unnecessary fuel. There are a few things that you can do to trim your fuel bill. Try to teach your drivers about not accelerating or decelerating too fast as this wastes fuel as does leaving the engine running while on a break. Tell them to limit the amount of time they spend warming up the truck unless they are in sub-zero temperatures of course. You should also be looking to give them the best and most cost-effective route. To achieve this, you might have to install GPS systems or plan using Google Maps. Another important part of the fuel issue is the deadlines, if the drivers are close to their deadline, they will speed up to make the time. Try to give them the time to make their deadline without having to go faster than is efficient.

The other area that needs new training is the management team. They need to be trained how to use the most cost-effective ways they can without compromising the safety of the drivers or the freight. There also needs to be more communication between managers and drivers so that potential problems can be ironed out before they get worse. It might be worth investing in some radios so that you can keep in contact with drivers as well as vehicle tracking so that you know where they are on the route. It will also allow you to adapt the route if you hear of any potential hazards or delays up ahead. It is also important that you are open to your worker’s opinions on the operation of the company. They shouldn’t be afraid to offer ideas or suggestions on how things are done. They may have valuable ideas that could save the company money or make it more efficient. If they are still unsure, then start an anonymous suggestion box where they can place their ideas.

Sometimes cost savings are inevitable, but, if you can do it wisely and efficiently, then it shouldn’t impact too much on the core areas of the business. You should also remember to keep costs low, but keep the safety high, this is one area you shouldn’t cut back.

The New York apartment rental scene is as unique and special as the city itself, and contains a number of standout design features that you may want to keep an eye out for. So before you sign the dotted line on your rental agreement, there are six popular design features to consider.

Intelligent use of space in small apartments

A common design feature here in town is the size of the apartments. While there are certainly plenty of spacious and spacious apartments, there are quite a few that are quite small. To anyone who has ever paid rent in the city, it’s pretty obvious why people would opt for a tiny room. Affordability is an important factor when making a decision, and these small apartments are much cheaper.

World AtWar: The At-War Alliance

Your probably wondering what this game is. Its a browser based game on geopolitics. You basically start as a 3rd World nation in either Latin America,Africa,Middle East or Asia and build up to be a superpower. The game is still in "beta" and many features are still yet to come.

Bellerophon's Nation: Damocles
Meester's Nation: Imbros

If you made it this far you are most likely joining the game. Here are some tips when registering I suggest you follow them.

Link to register: here

When registering you'll need to provide 6 important information, Username, Email address, Nation Name, Region, Government and Economy. For Username and Nation Name put whatever you want. You'll need a legit email address to get your account password. You can obviously change it later on.

As for regions I suggest Latin America and Asia as they are still a developing region.

Each region has its own bonuses the bonuses are as follow..

Latin America: Smuggle drugs which is easy money. Lowers reputation if caught.
Africa: Smuggle blood diamonds which is easy money. Lowers reputation if caught.
Middle East: Massive amounts of oil.
Asia: High manpower and special economy zone.

For government form take Military Junta because you can get free units with it which is extremely useful. For economy style take Central Planning all other economy systems are worthless.

Read this.

Starting Tip

Tarafından yazıldı Meester, 13.01.2014 at 09:19

When you join take Military Junta political system because you can easily get free troops and aircraft using it. --> In your news section there will be 4 reformation options take the one with 10k extra troops. --> Prospect some oil and drill a new well. --> Buy 1 pack of weapons this will advance you to First World War Surplus technology. Train your troops to "Good" quality --> Go to world map and click on your region in the mini map. --> Search for a country with a weaker military strength and lower tech (Don't rush there are bunch of fail start nations out there.). --> Declare war and launch an offensive. --> Win the war in like 2 turns (1 turn = 12 hrs) and your GDP will be automatically boosted because you stole the other countries infrastructure. --> You can continue to purchase weapon and drill new oil wells from now on. Don't boost your GDP your stability will deal with it with max stability which is "Unsinkable" you get +5 GDP every turn.

*Thanks Meester for making this Tutorial

Do you guys not know that E Hero Solidman exists

Nick Allen says:

Cimoooooooo…Grinder Golem is searchable in Gouki’s with Magical Contract Door (hand your opponent a Gravity Lash, it’s a card that goes in Goukis and is dead against them)

Marcel Rost says:

infernoid liar of darkness 60 card with 3 grass 3 monstergate and 3 leftarm is basicly t0 nowayyyyy its not op its good first and second it creates boards it deals with boards… its just op as hell

Deforce says:

李子涵 says:

There is only one type of monarchs.
You mean 0EX with Domain?
No, I mean Magical Explosion.

FCRN96 says:

Construct should just go to 2 and have El fusion go back to 2. Its an overpowered card when its summoned but its so easy to deal with. With Winda and Construct at one the deck just crumbles so easily and all the fake card advantage you get leads to nothing.

YugiPenguin says:

Don’t need patheism at 3, semi limited perhaps but the amount of times you can recycle the card even at one is 4-5 times in a duel especially with edea.

Firespawnie says:

Honestly even at full power monarchs cannot compete really well vs decks like True Draco,Pendulum Magicians,Dinos,Lightsworn etc…

Jarrod Walker says:

Construct to 3
*Mic drop*

Ferdi I says:

who remembers infernity? they where fun to play, I think at least they should return archfiend to 3 🙁

fr G says:

You work for Konami you’re always spot on with everything

djblue056 says:

Hey Cimoo so I have a question. And this is for anyone else that reads this as well. I went to target walmart and toysrus and I see no yugioh cards anywhere. All I see are pokemon cards and magic cards. I don’t even know anyone that uses pokemon cards. I even went to two of my local card stores and both of them said they don’t sell yugioh cards. I was like WTF??! Like I just don’t understand why stores have packed sections of pokemon and magic cards and like a tiny slot of yugioh, or nothing at all. It took me forever to find legendary collection kiaba and walmart had only 1 and it was underneath all the other crap. Honestly I just want to know why yugioh cards are so hard to buy in stores nowadays and where I can buy yugioh cards now. A friend of mine suggested ordering online but its expensive. If you want to make a video about it Cimooo that would be cool. or just answer back thanks!

Bruno Barbieri says:

Maybe they put judgement in the semilimited list because nowadays there are so many negations in pretty much every single deck, so they wanted to give the ones that don’t have any negation a chance to play against that… I dunno, might be stupid, but I feel lile that makes sense (even though i realize that they are giving that to everyone)

Jakob B. says:

If they dont bring monarchs back with the next list….
I move to Japan

Average Player3 says:

Konami Japan: get it? Banlist on April fool’s day?? It’s a jo-
Everyone else: :HYPE TRAIN:

full powered monarch here piss people off too much

Daniel Parason says:

They have Domain at1 i think

Guilherme Souza says:

Scorpio was a problem because searches Brillant Fusion ( and a lot of Fusion shit. and Lonefire was extra copies of Scorpio ..

The SILLY luchadore of db says:

It’s not full power monarchs cuz erebus is limited

M. Strongsole says:

monster gate at 3 for infernoids <3 avarice at 3 in 60 card zombiesworns can potentially help.

Joe Chapman says:

Lonefire shouldn’t be hit here

Matthew Stephens says:

Give us security dragon and I’ll 100% use grinder. (I play mekk knight and i still don’t want it without security lol.)

buzz101115 says:

It would be nice if the next Tcg banlist they would bring construct back, the monarch support and kozmo Dark destroyer to the simi list. Having those decks simi playable again would be awesome

TeaTrap AKA Teavana

I love tea. And Coffee. But mostly tea. It’s so difficult to make a perfect cup of smooth, low acid, not bitter coffee that glides down without having to be doused in flavorings, syrups, cream etc. to be delicious. Although the hobby of pursuing coffee perfection is still alive and well in my life; tea is my constant, dependable, comfortable companion.  A dear friend first introduced me to the tradition, art, and enjoyment of a fine cup of tea years ago while I was still in my teens. Her legacy of tea enjoyment has lived on in my life and is now something I enjoy on an almost-daily-basis with both TheMan and Doodles.

Tea pardons a multitude of brewing sins. Tea comes in such a vast array of flavors, packages, mixes, blends, there is truly something for everyone. I can’t help but feel a bit sorry for the poor souls who’s only experience with tea is limited to Lipton and perhaps the chance encounter once upon a time with their Great Aunt’s favorite Earl Gray.

Personally I love the adventure of flavors that comes with tea tasting/testing. Experimenting with loose vs. bagged. Pre-mixes vs. making my own. Pretty much the whole she-bang. I’ve bought teas by the lb. from such wonderful on-line businesses as http://www.morethanalive.com. I’ve tried every tea blend Traditional Medicinals makes, picked my favorites and keep them stocked in my cabinet. I am three brands away from having tried every single brand of pre-mixed Chai I’ve ever seen (barring the ones that say “artificial flavorings” cuz that just doesn’t count as real tea in my book).

With my ever increasing tea experience it was time for an excursion into the holy-land of Tea. That place you smell before you see. The one that gives out free samples of it’s wares right outside it’s door because nothing sells truly good tea better than the tea itself. What is this place you might ask? This place of wonderous free-samples-of-tea? The sign says Teavana. Set back at the very end of the store, past stone age relic-esque cast iron tea pots, and the more modern looking tea pots (all with price tags large enough to make your wallet shudder) is The Wall. The Wall is literally floor to ceiling shelves supporting large containers of…Yup, You guessed it. Tea. But not just any tea. Only the finest (so says the brochure). Supposedly composed of only the top 10% of teas from around the world those boxes house an olfactory journey that will take you into indescribable realms. High on the scent of vanilla with warm undertones of caramel, carried along on a happy day dream punctuated with peach, apricot and ginger the cleverly trained spell casters, er, store staff coax their unsuspecting victims, that is to say, customers into a dreamy haze in which the question of whether or not to purchase vanishes in light of the more pressing and urgent decisions of black vs. white, Oolong vs. Green, or Mate, Herbal or Roobois for the base of the heavenly blends they’ll create just for you. Right before your very eyes. Or, more importantly, noses. In this state, and in light of the (out-of-this-real world of inflation that we live in) marvelous prices I had more recently been paying for tea at the a fore mentioned website of http://www.morethanalive.com it is little wonder that my brain made the very reasonable assumption that the prices posted clear as day below the boxes were based upon pounds. Even at the assumed base of price per pound my frugal side winced a bit at some, cringed at others, shrugged and made peace on a handful of others before deciding upon which tea(s) to take home.

Having already decided to treat ourselves to some “Special tea” after entering the tea lair my friend and I put our not-so-clear by this point heads together and made our selections. Promising ourselves that we would just get a small bag of each to sample before coming back to get some in greater quantities. Positively giddy in anticipation we watched as they carefully measured out, weighed and mixed each of our custom tea’s. Clutching our little bags we waited in line to check out discussing which tea we would try first upon our arrival home. I don’t remember which one of us exactly first registered the total on the cash register. But I do clearly recall the mutual alarm in the looks we flashed each other. Our price assumptions were horribly, terribly wrong. Those were not price per POUNDS it was Prices per OUNCE. Oh yes, for certain types of the top ten percent of all tea in the world it is sold by the ounce for outrageous sums of money. Thankfully we had been trying to be semi frugal, even when assuming it was price per pound so the damage was not nearly as bad as it could have been. But still. For a few, very few ounces of tea the total loomed before us. It was fifty something-ish dollars before taxes. Horror dawned on us as we realized that this was not an item one could simply back out of purchasing at the last minute. A minor inconvenience for some staff person to re-stock. Oh no, nobody could re-stock these. These were our custom blends. That they had mixed for us only minutes before. Potential embarrassment and shame looming we forked over our money and walked out in stunned silence.

Back in the relative safety of the main walk-way of the mall with it’s varied vendors hawking hand creams from Israel and foreign language study programs my friend finally found her voice. “We tell no one. No one is ever to know what we just spent on TEA.” I swallowed hard and tried to mentally calculate how many months of skipping out on the occasional coffee treat I would have to go through in order to make up the blow to my budget that the mockingly light bags of tea had dealt. Numbly nodding I agreed to her command. Yes, it was best that we simply keep to ourselves the fact that we failed to notice the apparently also as obvious as the nose on your face “oz” markings and had been, in effect, conned into buying a three tiny bags of tea for a not so tiny bit of cash.

As time has passed however, and I stopped blushing every time I saw the little bags of tea hovering together like orphans in my freezer I decided it was time to pass along our story to others. There might be some other poor soul making her pilgrimage to that place. Lest she get swept away on the aromas they so carefully fan in your face as we did, it is only right that I throw myself under the bus of public humiliation and share our story. Technically since I didn’t give the exact total and my friend is still completely anonymous I haven’t breached her forcefully issued edict. I’m pretty sure she’ll still be fairly flustered and maybe even a little indignant when she reads this though.

In honor of finally making this story public I made a pot of the Peach, Apricot and Ginger black tea we bought. As the smell as rich as the flavor of the tea itself washed over me I felt all residual self inflicted recrimination melt away and the internal monologue began.

Hot Cup of Tea

Hot Cup of Tea

“Little wonder really… (inhale)…Maybe it was even worth it…(tiny sip)…(inhale)…It did only take me six months to repair the damage to my grocery budget…(inhale…happy sigh)…I bet even TheFriendWhoShallNotBeNamed might think it’s worth it now. It did result in a great story. An experience really. We can tell our Grandchildren we bought __ ounces of tea for $5____ Of course by then $5____ will be worth about fifty something pennies if inflation keeps up….I’ll just fix her a pot of this and serve it before I show her the blog post…(Sip sip)…Nobody can get too mad while inhaling this…and actually drinking it! Oh! the flavor…Yes, it was an experience alright, one of those experiences and memories that money just can’t buy…”

Even though my personal experience with Teavana left my wallet wondering what hit it I still highly recommend it for anbyody that does truly love tea. Save your pennies, or dollars even, go in knowing the difference between pounds and ounces and enjoy the experience. Their well trained staff can literally invent you a tea if you just describe to them what you love. It’s an indulgence every tea lover should experience at least once in their lives.

The rest of the time the frugality and quality of http://www.morethanalive.com’s teas are more than tea-bliss enough for me. My budget is a lot happier too.

At Trafalgar Village Dental, We Recommend Dental Sealants. Here’s Why…

As your dentist in Oakville, we always have your, and your family’s, best interest in mind. It’s our job to help you keep healthy – in body and smile – and all of us at Trafalgar Village Dental take this very seriously. With a preventive view in everything we do, our goal is to intercept oral health issues before they happen … to keep you smiling.

Prevention includes (but is not limited to):

  1. Regular Checkups – We’ll schedule your regular dental recall appointments according to your level of health. Here’s what we’ll do at your recall visit:
    • Check your gum health – We’ll always take a look at your gums and check their color, the pocket depths, how well they support your teeth, if there’s any infection (gingivitis or early gum disease and/or periodontitis or advanced gum disease)
    • Check your tooth health – Do you have any chips, cracks, or decay? And if so, how do we fix the damage to prevent further deterioration and pain and restore function and beauty?
    • Ensure restorations are sound – Restorations such as crowns, fillings, bridges, and bonding don’t last forever. We’ll make sure everything is working as it should so that your smile health isn’t compromised.
  1. Education – If we see any problem areas, we’ll explain the cause and explain why repair is necessary. We’ll also discuss with you a proposed treatment so that together, we can intercept any future damage or further unnecessary damage.

Aside from regular checkups, one of the most-simple things you can do for your oral health – besides keeping an excellent home care routine of brushing at least twice a day and flossing once a day – is to consider dental sealants for yourself and your children.

#545 Redmond Bound

Today the bus had wifi and I was seriously grateful.  I had a few key things I wanted to research before getting to work today and needed to send and receive a few e-mails.

Today I got to thinking about a number of transit related questions I haven’t verified or researched lately, the most important being a verification of transportation costs for multiple modes.  I’d like to get a baseline, and the extreme costs for $5k, $13k (cheapest option), $22k car (median family car), and $40k car (the cheap BMW or something) and pair that to the same trips on transit for the average commuter.  Then break that down to trips that are transit friendly and trips that aren’t.

The other cost factor I’d like to see is how much we pay the Governments of our respective areas for transportation, infrastructure, etc., and how much we paid out of pocket 50 years ago, 100 years ago, and about 130 years ago (when streetcars were taking off).  My hypothesis is that transportation is actually more expensive today in net societal cost than the disciplined approaches of yester year, but for about 50% of the population it is cheaper out of pocket.  I’ll get to the bottom of this eventually.  Anyone else have some opinions to interject, I’d love to hear others’ hypothesis on the matter.

  1. One BIG purpose of transit is not how much money the rider saves by using it, we know it costs a bit more to run, but its the trade off that matters most I think.

    When your on your 545 next time, count how many passengers are on board. Then, imagine that many passengers, in cars, as single occupants, crowding the road space around right where you are, imagine 50 extra cars at that moment on the Freeway. Then multiply that by how many 545 runs there are in a day. Do this for every route, traffic will be enough to want to kill something.

    While giving a subsided car to every american might *seem* like a sound financial good idea, the quality of life would be far worse without transit, at any cost.

    1. Even with high union costs, uncompetitive practices(authorities are monopolies), and government bloat transit often comes in under the price of cars at a societal level, and drastically below the out of pocket price for all Americans.

      Overall though you make a very good point in reference to the spacing. If we could get just 3-8% more of society to take transit we would reduce congestion by about 80-90%. Hmmm, that gives me an idea for a blog entry. 🙂

Hot Curry Powder Masala

“Masala” is a Hindu word referring to a seasoning blend that can be any combination of herbs, spices, and vegetables. In India they are often individualized to a particular geographic area or even to a particular food preparer. As you play with these combinations, we encourage making your own mixtures or varying the proportions to your dosha needs. Purchased masalas often have spices processed in several ways, including cooking in oil. Processing the spices and herbs in this way is said to help preserve the masala because it insulates and dries it. To make your own masala, and thereby eliminate […]

Netzach; Spiritual Endurance

One of the great wisdoms on the spiritual path is netzach, meaning spiritual endurance. It may seem trivial to compare spiritual endurance with long-distance running, but the truth is that when one is running a long-distance race, one must have a certain pace that supports its completion. One also has to have motivation, which is where the word faith comes in. Faith is not something to believe because someone said so. Faith is based direct experience. Once one experiences inner truth and the soul, then, even though one may not feel it in the moment, one has faith that the truth is there. […]

The Mystery of the Tree of Life Perspective

What’s going on in the world today is a reflection of our collective inner world.  Our inner world is key.  When you don’t understand your inner world, you can’t understand the outer world. One of the biggest tasks on the spiritual realm is the inner/outer balance we create in our own lives.  We struggle sometimes between being too easy and being too hard.  The Kabbalistic model of the Tree of Life comprises ten sefirotic energies that are essentially a pattern for all creation. What is that pattern that we are talking about?  The highest sefirot is keter, which is the […]

More on Marijuana: Dr. Cousens’ Response to Questions on Emerging Cannabis Research

While marijuana may have many palliative qualities, the psychoactive species have some serious downsides. These are well outlined in the 800-page book titled Marijuana Syndromes by John Mini. His research validates what I have observed since the ‘60’s. As he points out, “Marijuana’s side effects increase over time” and are cumulative. He has clinically observed that “marijuana’s effects can have a drying and toxic quality. They tend to take a general progression from the lungs to the digestion and immune systems, then to the blood, heart and circulatory system, then on to the liver and nervous systems and finally to the sexual, endocrine systems and brain over time.” […]

“You Make Yourself Another”

“God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.” – William Shakespeare The little girl’s laughter was like the sound of a springtime brook, gurgling and chuckling over sun-dappled rocks. Her spun-gold hair twinkled in the floating lights as they thrummed back through the air into their charging cradles to shut down and be packed away […]

7 Best Winter Hiking Trails In Canada

7 Best Winter Hiking Trails In Canada

You may think that the hiking days have come to a halt, but they don’t have to. There’s something about winter hikes that words cannot express. The serene view of whitewashed snow mountains, the smell of fresh and cold air breezing past your hair, and the gruffly sound of ice crunching beneath your boots- it’s what winter is all about. The blend of snow and ice combines and adds a special kind of magic that you just can’t find in the summer. So, throw in your warmest socks, and let’s discuss 7 of the best winter trails in Canada to explore this year.

Here are our top 7 winter hiking trails in Canada for you to fall in love with.

1) Skyline Trail, Nova Scotia

With an elevation of 455 meters, the Skyline trail is a winding coastal trail where the mountain meets the sea. The 9.5 kilometers roundtrip takes you along the path overlooking the Cabot Trails and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. This wilderness-protected habitat is suitable for hikers of all levels. Just keep your eyes open for moose, bald eagles that wander around this area.

2) Montmorency Falls, Quebec

Dominating the landscape, Montmorency Falls is an 83 meters-high frozen waterfall forming an icy sculpture crafted by the mother earth herself. In the winter, the fine splashes projected by the waterfall eventually freezes and forms the famous Sugarloaf, an artistic natural ice cone. The moderate hike is 4.3 kilometers and offers a miraculous view of the falls, which in the peak of winter is a must visit.

3) Rawson Lake

Rawson Lake

The easiest hike in Kananaskis Country takes about 7 km roundtrip and brings you to a pristine icy lake surrounded by the alpine lakeshore and spectacular mountain views. The first 15 minutes of the hike has a flat trail following the shoreline of Upper Kananaskis Lake. The roundtrip of about 3 to 5 hours takes you across icy trails following a spruce forest with an elevation gain of 305 kilometers. Keep your senses alarmed and don’t venture beyond the near end of the lake as it’s avalanche terrain.

4) Nassagaweya Trail, Ontario

Another popular winter hiking trail in Canada is the Nassagaweya Trail which is not that far from Toronto. Located near Milton, Ontario, this hike follows a trail that's 14.4 km (4.6 miles) long. You will be blown away by the natural scenery throughout the hike. This hiking trail is full of cedars that have been for more than a thousand years. You also have the chance to watch one of the best sunrises that you’ll see in your life. Glacial deposits, sheer cliffs, and caves are scattered all over the hiking trail. And since it is a moderate type of hiking trail, many can do this hike with their family as well. It's a must-visit place during winter in Canada.

5) Prairie Mountain, Alberta

Prairie Mountain, Alberta

A natural stair climber, the steep trail to Prairie mountain is a must go for fitness freaks or just for a normal daily workout. The rush of happy hormones on reaching the top isn’t the only reward you get. The trail is also dog friendly so your pets can also feel the rush along with you. The view of far-reaching mountains is an add-on that comes with a hard-earned natural cardio session. Just don’t forget your cleats for the trip.

6) Troll Falls, Alberta

Located in the Kananaskis Improvement, Trolls Falls is 3.4 kilometers of heavily-trafficked out trail that features a waterfall and is a perennial favorite. The trail follows a dense evergreen forest which widens out to a beautiful section of open aspens. Head along the narrow trails that curves along the left bank of Marmot Creek to witness the debris of the 2013 floods. The 1 to 2 hours roundtrip is suitable for hikers of all levels.

7) Lake Agnes Tea House, Alberta

Lake Agnes Tea House, Alberta

The trail climbs uphill on a wide, switched-back path for 3.6 kilometers with an elevation gain of 400 meters. It begins on the shores of Lake Louis near the Fairmont Chateau Hotel and ends with your fingers wrapped around a hot drink from the tea house. Enjoy the serene alpine waters before heading back down the trail. The route is rated as moderate and takes people between 1 and 2 hours to complete.
