The Oddyssey
Yesterday when I opened my eyes I did not know what the day would bring me. It turns out that this say was to be epic. Not exactly the ten year travel of Odysseus, but even so, an interesting day.
I wrote a bit in the morning, washed up and had some coffee and then left THO. My first stop was at Liisa’s. She is doing the preparation for a family reunion and as such has a lot to do. I thought I would pop by and see if she wanted my help. I could have guessed that she would not since she has very specific ways of doing things, but still she did have plans for me, instead she brought me to Gilmore’s Point for a couple of hours. It was my first visit there, and it is a nice spot. When I left there I headed back to THO for my night bike gear just in case anything went wrong, and then hit the road for Murphy’s Point Park near Perth Ontario, because I wanted to hear Bear the Tinker tell stories. I decided on taking the back roads up through California because the winding roads are wonderful to travel on when you drive a bike. Before too long, I was on Highway 15, I stopped to gas up in Elgin $3.25 in gas filled me right to the top and I am back on the highway. Before long, I was just beginning to wonder if I missed something and I had; the crucial turn at Crosby to get to the park was several km behind me. Still steadfast in my determination, I was going along at a nice clip on a stretch of road just about where # 5 meets #15 to turn to Athens when suddenly without any warning my bike quit. It was 3:22 in the afternoon.
I would think that a small, middle aged woman on a Vino, dressed in linen trousers and a yellow flowered blouse should not seem like all that scary but even so, not a single person stopped to see if I was OK. After the bike did not restart for about 45 minutes (I thought it had just overheated) I called 411 with my stupid phone company (Telus) to get the number for the Yamaha dealer who is in Portland in order to get picked up, but despite the fact that I knew that they are in Portland or within a short distance, that they sell motorbikes, boats, and all sorts of recreational vehicles they could not find them in their system. I was on the phone with them for about 15 minutes and they were not helpful (are any of them?)
Finally I called my Yamaha people and asked them for the number. By this time, I am burned to a crisp and it is 4:45 but I get through and they send a truck to pick the bike and I up.
They fix the bike, it turns out that the cable let go from the spark plug. I have studied the map in the interim and know that I have to double back a bit now, so I go on to Murphy’s Point. It was about 5:45 by the time I left the bike shop.
I finally hit #14 and take the road which is fun at first because it is winding and smooth but eventually turns into 6 km of new gravel on a dirt road. Anyone who drives a street bike will appreciate how not fun this kind of terrain is. None the less, at 6:45 I arrive to see Bear the Tinker and listen to his stories. It was totally worth the trip! Bear played a full set of Uileann pipes and told us about the little people, and the big people. He weaved a brilliant tale that blended mythology, folklore, science, religion, philosophy, and a twinkling eye into his work. By the end, I am convinced that the entire audience believed that Big foot was in the woods watching us and that better not catch a little person in the corner of their eye. The man and the story teller is so enchanting; his traditional ways, along with his vivid memory makes for a special time which I wanted to extend into the night, but I did not want to be on the gravel road after dark and thus at 8:30 I left and faced the road again.
About 1/2 of the way on the paved road before the turn to Murphy’s point, at 9:30, there is a small bridge that crosses the Rideau. It was so pretty there that I stopped and was greeted by a Kayaker who was just on the last leg of a 15 day trip up the canal. George had been up to Ottawa and had wonderful stories to tell about his encounters with nature through his beautiful adventure, including a threatening wind and a nasty seagull. He had a beautiful imagination and presence. Along with this he has more than just a passing interest in light. He had wonderful and unique lights which he makes himself from old garden lights and these he brought with him to light the way and they twinkled around us. He gifted one to me which is a bubbling ball that I now have charging! I am looking forward to seeing it and believe it will remind me of the moon over the canal every time I see it. Further to his interest in light, hee is a photographer and had taken many photos and though he did not share them with me, he did share his web address (which sadly I forgot, so I am hoping he will remember THO and remind me of the link).
The moon as I mentioned above, was the nearly full sturgeon moon and just waining slightly. It shone heavenly orange light over the water and made the sky into a soft grey light. The big dipper clear as a bell, held it’s contents to the North West, between 2 giant maples. It was the sort of place and climate that deserves time and attention, I relaxed into the night and before too long, I was leaving far too late.
I did not get back on the road until it was nearing midnight and the road was clear because of the bright moon, but when I got on the highway I realized that there was not one single location to stop and get gas, and I knew that I could not make it home. Still, there was nothing I could do but push forward. I kept the bike steady at 75kmph and drove, sticking to the main roads. Fortunately, the moon made the walk easy and I could see a long way. I did not feel scared or nervous when the bike finally puttered to a stop. I made it to within a couple of km of my cousin’s place at 12:32 so I pushed the bike to his house and walked on to Liisa’s house because I have a key and it is closer than THO. I arrived to her place at 1:27 am. Safe, sound and filled with the days adventure I fell asleep quickly and slept sound.
This morning, I am blistering and bitten and I stand, hoping that today is just as interesting!

Bear the Tinker
“People who have no dreams, are poor” ~ Bear the Tinker
It is two years since I met Bear the Tinker at my cousin’s
organic farm. A Tinker is an travelling tinsmith for those of you who
don’t know (I did not). The Tiny House where he lived and worked out of
for many years, and still for much of the year is a Caravan which is
drawn from place to place by his lovely horse and companion, Callum.
Meeting Bear stands out in my life as one of the great experiences. It is hard to describe him, his storytelling, his music his wit and his peace. The strength of presence of this man, and his connection to the past is something that one must experience to believe.
This is a clip from a great old TV show out of Canada. Bear the Tinker lives near Kingston Ontario.
If you see him on the road, stop! Ask him where he is heading next to tell stories and sharpen knifes, I am urging you, make Bear a part of your plan, even if you have to travel far to meet him. If you must work to arrange it, or travel to be where he is, please do so, treat yourself to this experience.
Here are the links so that you may find him….
Here is a tip (just in from Bear). If you want to meet him, he will be at the Delta Fair for 3 days, and events at Murphy’s Point Park on July 20 and August 3. Also FYI… he offers Yurt Building courses for small groups of 10-12 people.
Gypsy Caravan
There is a wonderful caravan for sale.
Shaman’s Yurt Workshop @ THO
NOT RUNNING… INSUFFICIENT REGISTRATION
______________________________
Tiny House Ontario plans to run a Shaman’s yurt building workshop on May the 5th 2013.
The Shaman’s Yurt is a many skills learning experience where 10
to 14 people will learn to build their own Mongolian yurt from basic
materials growing in the forest, sticks and rope. The interests of the
group will be the topic of the single day course.
Folklorist Bear The Tinker will be your instructor and host guiding you through the building process of the Yurt’s sacred symbolism. Stories will be shared within the shamanic point of view on subjects of many interests including cryptozoology, the paranormal, parallel universe theory, and other intelligent life form from within and without of this reality.
Attendance at the course will also gain you access to visit the inside of Tiny House Ontario and a day in a natural forest just outside of Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
Cost is $100. Payments to attend will be made via Paypal. If you are interested please send an email to tinyhouseontario@yahoo.com. I will email you a payment request within a day or two. After payment is received I will send details. (A full refund will be given should registration be too low)
Please check out Bear’s website for video to gain understanding about his teachings.
Farewell Dear Bear
Our dear friend Maurice Leger, also known as Bear the Tinker, left us a few days ago.
Bear was an amazing man whose spirit will live on in those who had the pleasure of knowing him.
He was a caravan dweller, a builder and a master of many things. He was a gentle, capable man who will be missed.
My sincerest sympathy goes out to his family.
My hope for Bear is that he has a caravan in the sky. Thank you for all you taught me, and others during this journey through life.
“… and where he’s gone to, but off he goes”

HA! Well aren’t you a piece of work? I find it quite remarkable that someone who fancies themselves as being an analyst… oh wait no, a FEARLESS ANALYST, is so scathing. And from a woman who writes about topics such as your most recent blog post of March 30, 2016. I mean, you wrote about Jian Gomeshi and yet you sit on such a opposite side of the table to me, and all I said was NO to someone else, not you… and months ago too… aren’t you just the little but-in-ski?
This said, since you open the topic, I think you are particularly misguided, not to mention inconsistent… given that your own article you go on to discuss how women “have experienced some variation of male sexual abuse”. I am 50 years old (and even if I weren’t) I have the right to say no. Not to mention that people should know better than to contact a blogger and invite themselves over for a visit. It could be considered creepy, even. Though I don’t really think that most people are being, I think they are just exuberant and interested… but still, how do I know? How do you? Do you have some sort of special powers that make you understand who is and who is not creepy? Or are you as misguided as you seem?
And let me go back to your blog post to the time when you sat in judgment about your coworker who was uncomfortable with your boss’s sexual advances. You said you were sorry for this, and yet clearly you have learned nothing about sitting in judgment of what other women experience. Just as you sat in the office judging your co-worker for what you thought was “too sexy” , you judge me.
You don’t judge me for being sexy, I don’t try to be… but if I did, this would not be your business either. No, you went out of your way to nose in and be offended. You just dropped in to eves drop and judge me… because I said NO. Not even to you! But to some random internet person inviting themselves over to my home. Clearly, you need to go back and do women studies 101 again. I say NO to you though too! As in, NO, I am not going to take it! You are not welcome back! So don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out!

Oops Nicole! The price is per acre.
There’s a property on Remx.ca that’s in Ancaster, it’s over 100
acres and is only $100,000! Thinking it could make an awesome tiny house
community. Here’s a link to the listing:
http://www.remax.ca/on/ancaster-real-estate/na-132-garner-road-hamb_h3190231-lst/
Good idea?
We could make a Crowdfunding campaign, $1000 for an acre/tiny house spot…

that’s per acre

Hi Laura, I am a photographer currently working on a project about tiny houses. I am wondering if I can come visit one day during the weekend to see your house and learn more about living in a tiny house. Please email me back at xxxxx.com if you’re free and if you’re interested. Thanks so much for your time.
Hi Jessica, I know that I write about tiny houses… specifically my tiny house. But even so, this is my home. I am sure that you just did not think about it, but let ask you this…
Has a random unknown person ever written to you and invited themselves over to your home? Thanks so much for your time.

Was a lecture really necessary? I guess so. I shall now click on “Unsubscribe” – assuming there is such a link of course.
