and lets not forget his fearless leader Major-General Sir Isaac Brock.
He was promoted to major general, and became responsible for defending Upper Canada against the United States. While many in Canada and Britain believed war could be averted, Brock began to ready the army and militia for what was to come. When the War of 1812 broke out, the populace was prepared, and quick victories at Fort Mackinac and Detroit defeated American invasion efforts.
Brock’s actions, particularly his success at Detroit, earned him accolades including knighthood in the Order of the Bath and the sobriquet “The Hero of Upper Canada”
Used to hang out a lot with some people down there. One time a friend drove us to a downtown bar. We all drank lots and took a cab back home. Went back to retrieve the car the next day and someone had thrown a cinderblock through the windshield.
Although it was him who got the accolades, it was the first nations peoples that helped him who saved Canada from falling into the hands of the US when hw was getting his arse kicked.
We all know the song of 1812.
Lol
It didn’t quite happen that way. Those were actually some rough times back then. Even around DC area it was nothing but swamps and mosquitoes. Canada could have had a lot more land if they wanted to and that would’ve been the time to do it. I think the one American general was sick or something. They couldn’t get their act together.
Hemp has always been a tag for me. When people would talk about dank, at shows. I would throw up a sign that said, I want hemp. Plus, it was my favorite dogs name.

Simply put. … I’m new to growing herb and I continue to maintain a “beginners” approach to growing so that I can maybe one day help simply the process for prospective/would-be growers.
I’ve been to Tom’s school a couple times back in the 90’s.
Some of his story is… problematic.
But I have watched him spot mouse tracks in wet soil in the leaf litter. I didn’t believe it until I got down and saw it.
His tracking skill is almost superhuman. It’s freaky to watch in action.
I was never great at the tracking aspect of his schools.
I’ve always been a plant nerd, wild edibles, medicinals, primitive tool making, etc…
When I first joining canna forums back in 04 or so I wanted a separate handle for them, had been buying bags from a Jamaican guy for awhile and he was always saying that locals in Jamaica referred to Jamaica as their “yard” so I combined that with Hugh Masekela’s song “Grazing in the Grass” and came up with yardgrazer. Also I have a habit of thinking things up while super high, thinking they sound like an awesome idea, and just going with it…
