How To Have A Wise Old Owl See Me Through The Mess My Writings Became, When Not Being Believed Over Media Attention

With The All Knowing Eye Of The Scales Of Justice, Hopefully I Will Get Through It Alright

            With all I have been through as a mental health consumer, all the Police interventions over the years, I do not exactly come out with a clean bill of health. I remember being frustrated and bitter over standing up for the National Building Code and what became  of my life. At one point I went up to a parked Police car and asked the Police Officer in the car, if he believed in justice, to my heart break he responded with a no, and he stated that it was a revolving door. It has to change, what went on around me and having been arrested twice with confusion and the system presently in place for justice. With how the justice system failed me as a mental health system, I took it out by ridiculing the courts in my Internet writing, as well as the mental health system, which I should not have done, but all I had to release tension and frustration, with having no one else to turn to but the Internet My only friend for a long time was my Internet, and the relationship turned to get out of hand, at least now I have a better relationship with mental health staff I deal with, sorting out the mess my life became.

            I will never forget the Police Officer that took the time to get into the ambulance with me and asking me what is going on with the domestic problems that they were called into while standing up for the National building code. I told the Police Officer about the hazards of putting gyp-rock over our old plaster from Victorian construction era. I explained the stupidity of doing it in the tri-level building and what I was caught up in. While this was going on the ambulance technician monitored my vitals. The Victorian 8" to 10" base board are ripped out, they were designed to reflect heat back in a room, and the wiring was messed with, sometimes ending up in a driven electrical meter causing a multitude of problems. The men and ladies in Police Uniform that I have dealt with over the years were all so special, even more so now during covid-19, as being the ones with fire fighters and ambulance technicians securing a scene first, getting people to court or hospital and all working together fire fighting back up.  

            This is a wild guess, if I have gyp-rock over old plaster in places within Canada, how are the States with this same problem. it came from somewhere and spread like a festering sore. People have caught on to my discovery of this demented renovation job and feel the same way as I do, about the problems it creates. There was some talk in the media for an International Building Code, learning off each other with 2021 upon us, some how we go to do more environmental friendly buildings across the board and guide lines to not have the wrong people messing with original building design.

             The image in this posting is called "Bring Home Supply Lines", I studied a mule image and sketched it off the walls while in my prison cell being passed through the Courts under the mental health act. I decided to post this work of art for my second posting in the month of January, to comment what is essential products during the lock down in Quebec, Canada. At first we got to poll our selves athe pandemic bit for what we need to survive the Premiers lock down while working together at home or in the office.

            My wish starts starts with tea towels and hand towels, we are washing our hands more often and having to dry them with towels for dishes and hands. This is essential for some people like my self, working from home with my company, I would like to add and improve the office by purchasing a printer scanner to work more at home while still dealing with my business contacts such as my printer for business cards and office supplies/services. 

            Art can be a profession, hobby or therapy in lock down. I have been doing more art and hooking up in zoom with a group working together and I am still eager to be in zoom with others. Art supplies, is it essential yes and no, I am using up art supplies and I would like to have an effective way to restock. even if ordering for door side pick up, when I am in that area for a another forced meeting one on one. I would be using Montreal public transport all the way there and back home. To book purchase and pick up, limiting travel from my home by pre-planning my affairs with others more effectively. With tap services of my bank card, I could be tracked through the bank records in case of corona-19 virus spread in what could become hot zones like any where else.  I buy my bus tickets with my bank card, with these items being made compatible for tracing, it is a thought, others have air miles which I do not  have for purchases. I am still using my hospital card in a roll-a-dex when at the hospital for my psychiatric treatment plan as a mental health consumer, this could be automated more as I am tracked through the different hospitals for each specialty of our various hospitals on the island of Montreal. To down load Canada's virus app, my contract is to be renewed in February, I could up grade my phone for the Canada's virus app, it is only on my chomebook. Right now my phone does not have the ability to down load the virus app, and I got to renew my contract with signing a new one, communication equipment, how do we handle it in government guide lines Same light I need a new soap container and tooth brush case for oral hygene .They are not required items list, but they are on my wish list. How do we handle meeting one on one that need a signature. I have to do it in mental health, signing paper work for my treatment plan after being arrested and working with a team of medical professional  to get through my mental health issues. I have paper work to sign for probate court while working on Mum's estate, to get her last year of taxes done and paying fines and last year of taxable income. Then there is inheritance tax kicking into the Provincial budget when I get through probate Court. How do I do it in lock down ?

            There was the old issue when bank cards first came out, that it would become the devil's money, unaccountable, revelations as deemed by certain believers. Simple way going in debt with bank cards, now it might help us as a saving device. The Montreal Bus pass, could, for those that are willing, be in a pilot project see if tracing bus,metro,walk Montrealers  and spending, helps determine the spread or control of the corona-19 virus. For the price of the opus pass, I would be willing right now to pay for a up graded that costs more, it is a thought that I am not alone with ideas, I am taking a positive out look for innovation and technology that could be done, to help out the public at large.  Keeping one's wallet sterilized with bank card bus pass, medical card etc, cell phone is another thing to keep clean, while handling lock down. 

            We have to stand by our elected officials and medical Doctors during the pandemic.  The people of Quebec have to hold the Premier in good faith handling restrictions, as we work with our politicians and Doctors, such that they hold us in good faith to be responsible citizens following the Premier's lead, while he gets us all we need to survive the lock down together. Enterprise as small as me, still pays goods and service tax buying office supplies along with artist and engineering tools. I backed every Premier once they were elected, radio commentary about what I wrote of Quebec politics, I listen to the Premier and follow him on the News. I know I got to have some guide lines to get out and keep occupied at home as a mental health consumer. I have phoned certain Politicians and elected officials in the past and present , somehow trying to improve the system I know as a sixty year old male.

             Here it is the start of 2021 and a green house gas affected winter compared to the Canadian winters I knew in the Montreal region as a child. The image above I call "The Abstract Husky" and posted it today for it gives me a feel in a way, for the winters I used to know, compared to this spring like day January 3rd 2021. I am leading my blog in a new direction away from mental health and promoting more of my creative sides in engineering and art. As they work together for the betterment of the environment. A cross road of better residential dwelling design, to accommodate improved urban planning by elected officials, gearing towards international environmental standards for pollution control. 

            Why do I see our tri-layer medical masks for covid-19 virus littered in places, it is ridiculous, it was on the News that someone took it upon them self to go around his neighbourhood and pick them up. We can do as some business person wanted to do on the News and recycle them right. I got a medium size bag stock piled with zip lock bags as I fill them. with my own used medical masks, I got to get them to a responsible source for processing through sterilizing and recycling, for another product through effective processing. We can not have these infected covid-19 masks thrown into the water table by way of dump sites. Another concerned citizen was on the TV promoting yellow bio-hazard bags for used tri-layer medical covid-19 masks. May it be local Politicians, to the Federal level, we have to take action now, is the rest of the World the same, in need of these used masks processed to the best of environmental standards, lets take global action before it is too late!

             Knowing a multitude of different engineering products and processes, I thought of recycling the tri-layer medical masks through a hot steam dryer and bake them dry and free of germs and virus' by killing them with elevated temperature. A test run on this process on a scaled down steam dryer with a conveyor belt feed and unload system, which is already in engineering processes, a Bio- Hazard Engineering team with Medical Doctors that monitor the covid- 19 pandemic, would have to work closely together in a lab type setting, to see if my suggest way of baking the masks is effective start or not, to control what has become our latest garbage for the dump sites. Then of course, what is left trapped in the spent air rising out of the steam dryer from the conveyor belt feed. I once worked on assembly of such a steam dryer, so I know the basics behind its functioning. Test runs on a scaled down size would prove it effective or not, the idea of mine is just a thought, hopefully it will stimulate others to think about processing our tri-layer medical masks for recycling another way, if my process is not worth its time.  

            Even if part of the steam condensing process costs money, to chill the residual steam down to boiler feed water temperature, it would be eco-friendly to rising sea water temperatures with coastal steam installations and sea water cooling. Even chillers create heat through the refrigeration process, it is a catch 22 of engineering. How to make fueling the planet more eco-friendly with old and new technology. Steam is old technology and the Bio-hazard field is a newer science, as to robotics replacing the human for dangerous tasks. Nobody wants certain processes in their neighbourhood, but some region has to accept handling dangerous goods as to our tri-layer medical masks, for a recycling process some how and some where. 

            I once saw a small electric steam jenny that operated on 220 volts, I do not know the capacity of the unit at this point in time. Getting one and putting it to work on a scaled down steam dryer may be of use, to determine effectiveness of baking our masks free of germs and virus', who all want this exploratory research to solve our waste tri-layer mask problem. To recycle them to the best of engineering abilities, with the certified people for the task and setting guide lines for how we handle the problem. How it make reliable collection points during lock down has got to be figured out, by communities that take this task upon themselves. Steam and electric heat are two different things, radiant to convection heat, do not go using heat the wrong way, it starts from basics.

            For storage of used masks, I thought of somewhat clear plastic barrels with a yellow lid for bio-hazard waste, to store our used masks for covid-19. Depending on the size of a barrel and number to fit on a pallet for robotic or person handling until processed some how. It does amount to a much needed service and jobs for industry. There are plastic pallets in use at the present, yellow plastic pallets should be a standard for the bio-hazard barrels of stored and shipped used tri-layer medical masks. Black is now being introduced for disposable masks and the colours have to be sorted out from blue masks at the source of collection.

        For reusable masks, what is the standard for washing and testing to prove  effective cleaning ? One is still faced with disposal when they wear out from constant use. How do we handle these masks? How to balance it out between all the various masks people are using against covid-19 ?

            I am getting feed back from the radio already, some agree with me, some do not. What do masks become in a high covid-19 risk zone? I referred to the masks as bio-hazard is this really wrong, how long does covid-19 virus lives for in used masks, it is still a risky business if they were to be recycled right as some feel that they should be.
