QR Me!

| August 27, 2012

If you’ve got a portable device that has a bar code scanner option, you can use it to read the Universal Product Code (UPC) printed on the packaging of, and often the store shelving that holds, just about everything you might ever want to buy. If your device gives you access to the internet you […]

Scythe Matters

| August 26, 2012

I first mentioned the Maritime Hand Mowing Championships, hosted annually at the Ross Farm Living History Museum, last June in my article Musings of an Apprentice Mower. At the time I stated that Mrs. LFM and I would be attending what was then the 8th annual iteration of that splendid event, and soon after was […]

A Little More Trigger Time

| August 24, 2012

Hard on the heels of yesterday’s LFM Range announcement, I’m taking it easy on you today by simply providing some outdoor eye candy and a review of the Webley & Scott Hurricane. British built Webley & Scott air pistols used to be imported into North America by Beeman Precision Arms, and could also be purchased […]

Not All That Grand Opening of the LFM Shootin’ Range

| August 23, 2012

Everybody who comes here knows that Mrs. LFM and I use a scythe to mow the part of our yard that we actually want to be able to see over. Since I taught her to use it early this summer, our Austrian Scythe has become her favourite tool, and so now we need to acquire […]

A Toe Tapper from a God Fearin’ Man

| August 19, 2012

Not being a Christian I never really got the taste for the Gospel music genre, and neither am I a particularly big fan of the Blue Grass style, although I have encountered exceptions along the way and expect I’ll continue to do so.  The magic ingredient defining the enjoyability of any piece of music that’s […]

Rhett Davis Delivers the Folksy Goods

| July 31, 2012

In the last few days I’ve had a song stuck in my head that came straight out of the soundtrack of my youth. Up until recently, it was the only song by Rhett Davis I’ve ever heard. Called I Am the Eagle, it’s a catchy tune that speaks to me on a number of levels. […]

Worldly Wisdom Wednesday – Good Medicine

| July 25, 2012

We live and exist in an ocean of divine consciousness. The plants and trees partake in this consciousness and energy. When we travel the forests and fields, or canoe the lakes, rivers, and streams, we are surrounded by healing energies that nourish the body, mind, and spirit. When the medicine maker declares that we are […]

A Day at the Kejimkujik Story Telling Festival

| July 24, 2012

This past Saturday, Mrs. LFM and I attended and participated in the Kejimkujik Story Telling Festival at Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site. The event was also the venue for launch of the revised second edition of  Mi’kmaq Medicines – Remedies and Recollections written by our esteemed Friend, and bottomlessly effervescent fount of ethnobotanical […]

Calling a Spade a Spade

| July 6, 2012

When I go into a coffee shop it’s always serious business, for I am in need of the blackest, most evil brew they have. The one that, if not sold quickly, will eat through the pot, the floor beneath, and on to the Earth’s core. Yesterday I was doing a routine inspection on some equipment […]

More Musashi, As If One Could Get Enough

| June 27, 2012

I serendipitously found this on my current path of study. The live action fight choreography in the segments that weren’t excerpts from other productions is stilted to say the least, and a few other fluffs appeared that I won’t elaborate on, but what the hell. Mrs. LFM and I are Mark Decascos fans, and, while […]
