00:00:01.000 Hi, it's John and welcome. Lovely day here in Southeast Calgary. Lots of sunshine. Hard to believe on Thursday there was 20 centimeters of snow in my backyard and it's Monday and it's all gone. I just got back from a bike ride and I was thinking about something while I was out riding today.
00:00:19.000 You know, just before I went out, I turned on YouTube and the perpetual rage machine was churning once again. 1.00
00:00:26.900 Apparently, Carney said something stupid today. 0.99
00:00:29.720 Day must end in Y. 1.00
00:00:31.300 And don't get me wrong.
00:00:32.600 There's nothing wrong with people complaining about what's going on in the country.
00:00:36.600 A lot of what I do is that.
00:00:39.200 But I went on my bike ride today thinking, you know, you need to take a little bit of a break from all the stuff that is making you mad.
00:00:46.740 I've been bike riding for about 35 years. It clears my mind. It's good for my mental health.
00:00:52.900 It's good for my physical health. And it gets me away from the phone, the social media, the YouTube,
00:00:58.840 and that perpetual rage machine. So just think about this. Go out for a walk. Take a drive.
00:01:05.980 Go out with your dog. I saw people out in the driving range today hitting golf balls.
00:01:10.040 Not a cell phone in sight, no social media, and no perpetual rage.
00:01:15.880 Do it for yourself. Take a little bit of a break.
00:01:19.000 Trust me, that stuff is always going to be there.
00:01:22.140 Thanks for watching. I hope you're having a wonderful day.
00:01:25.580 I'm going to sit back and enjoy the sunshine, and I'll see you in the next one.
