Past, Present and the Future (Christmas Fanfiction), part 2/3

Genre: General, Drama, Family Characters: Tim Fleming, few other family members (don’t want to give out spoilers!)

Synopsis: Three different snapshots of Tim’s Christmasses of the past, present and the future.

* * * *

“Good boy...” Tim said and patted the palomino’s neck after he had placed the hay on the net for the horse to munch. The gelding, that would few years later earn the name “Champ”, started tugging out the hay between the strings, sighing as a sign of relaxation.

Giving him space to eat, Tim stepped out of the stall and closed the latch behind him. Looking at the horse, the man couldn’t help but think he was the best purchase he had made in a while. Even though Tim wasn’t exactly proud of his days at the oil rig or gambling at the casinos, at least that money had helped him to buy this beautiful animal.

This was a new horse for him, but already he seemed like he had been with the man forever. The way they worked together when herding the cattle was seamless, and the horse had an easy nature outside work too.

He was strong, loyal and resilient. All qualities Tim also wish he would possess.

It might have been 9 years since his rodeo accident, and usually a cowboy like him found himself a new horse quickly after losing the previous one because what was a cowboy without his horse, but in Tim’s case the journey here had been complicated and full of ups and downs.

His previous horse - a rodeo legend in his own right - Pegasus, had not just been any horse; he had been the horse for him.

After their accident at the Calgary Stampede, the horse had been a mess - just like him. While Tim had been too busy healing himself, his wife, Marion, had tried her best to fix the issues Pegasus had been dealing with as an aftermath of the whole thing.

When Tim had been kicked out of Heartland, Pegasus had stayed with Marion - and it had probably been better that way. Tim had not been in any position to take the horse with him anyway and he had not really been in a condition to take care of a horse either. He had barely managed to look after himself.

Now, almost a decade later, their paths had once again crossed. Marion had done amazing job with the horse, as Pegasus was back to being the stable friend Tim had once known. But a decade was a long time in a horse’s life, especially one with this horse’s history. Pegasus was a good fit for light trail rides, but he was no good for rodeo, not that anyone in the family would have even put him through that anymore.

But Pegasus was also not a working horse, and that’s where this palomino had stepped in as Tim had needed a horse to help with the herd he was working with. They were slowly getting to know each other and so far everything had gone well.

While Tim was lost in thought, Ray Phillips entered the Big River Ranch barn, leaning on his walking stick.

“Tim. What are you doing here?” Ray asked and moved with some labor as he stepped inside. He was an old man already, with injuries of his own, but insisted doing rounds around his property every day, even though he had staff to help him. Tim was one of them as he worked as a foreman. “I thought you would have gone to stay with your family at Heartland.”

“Oh...” Tim laughed dryly, turning toward his boss. “You know how Jack is; he can hold a grudge. There’s no way he would let me into that Christmas dinner table - even if I am able to visit my girls now. Gotta pick my battles...”

Ray nodded, knowing his neighbor well. They had shared fence for decades, after all, way over his 50 years of ranching, and here in Hudson you were not a stranger with the people living next to you.

“So... you’re alone for Christmas?” Ray read between the lines.

Tim nodded. “I guess I am.”

Taking a seat on top of two stocked square bales, Ray steadied his breath.

“My daughter was supposed to come stay with me, but... apparently some work related thing came up last minute and she can’t make it. Or so she says”, Ray said with a disappointed tone, fiddling his walking stick. “Truth be told, I don’t know if that is just an excuse... I feel like she’s not really interested in visiting me. Or staying here at Big River. I’m beginning to lose hope that this ranch will stay in the family in the future. I know I already have a plan for those longhorns of mine...”

“Well, you’re not leaving us anytime soon, are you, Ray?” Tim asked, even though he knew with someone of Ray’s age, that was only a matter of time with every passing day.

Ray chuckled, appreciating Tim’s attempt to make him feel younger than he was.

“You know damn well this might just be my last Christmas”, Ray reminded, and almost like from a cue, he started coughing.

Tim listened to the hollow sounds of his lungs as the older man gasped for air afterwards. When his coughing calmed down, Tim had a thought.

“Let’s say this is your last Christmas, hypothetically”, he said thoughtfully, “what would you like for your last Christmas to look like?”

“Oh...” Ray let out, taking some time to think about it. “Well, I always liked it when we had a Christmas tree back when Callie was a little girl. Seeing her admire the decorations and lights... I don’t know, it just always warmed my heart too.”

“So you’d want a Christmas tree?” Tim checked.

Ray nodded. “Yeah. One last time. I can’t go out to those woods anymore, not like how I used to. I miss it.”

“I can bring some of it to you”, Tim decided, like it was no big deal. “Just point me to a saw.”

* * * *

Less than 30 minutes later, Tim mounted his horse and headed toward the woods that were on Ray’s property. He knew not to cross any borders on this mission to find a Christmas tree as there were fences separating them from Heartland’s acres.

The beautiful frosty day pinched his cheeks as he and the horse ventured deeper into the forest. Looking around, Tim’s glance moved from one spruce to another. Some of them were too small, some of them too tall. Some of them looked right, but only on one side.

When he got closer to a more wooded area, something between the trees moved - a bird, perhaps - making the horse jump. Scared, the palomino started rushing forward, and Tim tried his best to use his bulldogging cowboy abilities to stay on, but when a large branch swiped him on the chest, the man lost his balance and fell down, hitting his top half on the icy surface as his cowboy hat bounced further away.

Feeling his head throbbing from pain, Tim groaned. Not only was he afraid he had just sustained a concussion, but the branch really had knocked the wind out of him. He laid there, barely moving and waited the pain to pass.

It was like on his old rodeo days, but at least he had not landed on his bad shoulder...

Just as the cold was starting to creep under his clothes and the brightness of the sky was beginning to hurt his eyes, Tim thought about getting up, but before he was able, he heard a voice.

“Easy there, cowboy.”

He recognized that voice in a heartbeat, but... it couldn’t be...

“Marion...?” Tim said, wondering if he was going insane.

Moving around his head against the snowy surface, Tim was trying to locate the origin of the voice, but he saw no one. Maybe his mind was playing tricks on him.

After all, Marion was dead. She had passed away in an accident earlier this year.

“Yeah, it’s me, you dummy”, Marion’s voice replied with some delay.

“But you’re--- you’re--” Tim stuttered. He still could barely say it.

“Dead?” Marion offered.

Tim swallowed dryly and nodded. “Yeah...”

“Maybe so, but death doesn’t have to be the end.”

Tim couldn’t understand this. “But I was at your funeral. We’ve mourned for you. The whole family.”

“I’ve seen it. If there was one good thing to come out of this it’s that you’re all together again.”

“I wish you were here with us. I feel like I just missed you. Like I was just few minutes away from seeing you again. Maybe if I had come back sooner, we---”

The words died on Tim’s lips.

“You wrote me a letter, remember?” Marion pointed out. “You tried.”

“I did. But I didn’t hear back.”

“I was not ready then. I was in the middle of my own recovery. The rodeo accident or the aftermath of it didn’t just happen to you. And... I didn’t divorce you because I wanted to. But... it’s what needed to happen so we could both move forward. I didn’t see a future for us, even though I hoped for it. Besides, I had to focus on the girls. Lou, especially, was affected by it all. But... I wasn’t able to help her. I just never got through to her, not like you always did.”

“I’ve been trying to make amends, but... it’s been difficult. With Amy, especially. I have to take it slow. There’s so much water under that bridge...” Tim confessed. “It takes more than blood and a will to connect for us to build those connections again.

“You’re on the right path”, Marion’s voice said. “Just keep going.”

A warm breeze of air swept all over Tim’s face as he was slowly starting to achieve consciousness again. Feeling the tickle of a horse’s muzzle on his cheek, Tim realized he was being examined by a horse.

His horse.

Opening his eyes, Tim saw the palomino standing next to him, almost apologetically.

“Did you lose something?” Tim asked with a low voice.

He chuckled when the horse breathed on his face.

“You came back for me, huh...?”

Nuzzling the horse’s cheek, Tim tried to gain back his strength to get up and get back on the horse. When you fell, the most important thing was to get back in the saddle. That was the motto he had lived by for years now and he wasn’t about to stop.

“We promised Ray a tree. We’re going to get that tree”, Tim said to his horse.

He mounted the gelding, thinking about the tree, but also sparing thoughts for Marion.

He felt her presence now.

There was a spot, not too far from here, where Tim knew Marion had always liked to ride to clear her thoughts. Maybe he could cross the property line just a little in order to remember the love of his life and appreciate the view she had always loved so much, seeing this was the first Christmas without her.

Even though they had not talked for years, Tim had always carried part of Marion with him in a form of a school ring. The woman had given it to him years ago for good luck while he had been on a circuit.

Tim’s younger daughter, Amy, now had it as it was Tim’s way of keeping Marion alive for her as well. The girls longed for their mother, for different ways, and while Tim could see how heavily Lou and Amy relied on their grandfather, Jack, Tim was hoping to be there for them too during this period of grief.

He wasn’t doing it for completely selfless reasons, but also because looking at them kept Marion alive for him too. He had needed to have that closure in order to move forward, and slowly but surely Tim was feeling the change in him.

Marion was never going to be forgotten, but they needed to continue to live their lives.

For her and for themselves.

Who knew where they would be ten, twenty years from now.

Hopefully still at Heartland, in some way.

Telesat sells remote communications services business - Information Global Internet - #GLOBAL https://www.merchant-business.com/telesat-sells-remote-communications-services-business/?feed_id=188557&_unique_id=66d82e7d9e460 TAMPA, Fla. — Canadian geostationary operator Telesat has sold off Infosat Communications, a remote satellite services specialist, to bolster finances as investments in its low Earth orbit (LEO) Lightspeed constellation ramp up. Calgary, Canada-based connectivity integrator Network Innovations said Sept. 3 it acquired the company from Telesat for an undisclosed sum, expanding its team by about 20 people to more than 300 employees.The announcement came weeks after Telesat CEO Dan Goldberg said the operator was considering raising proceeds in the region of 10 million Canadian dollars ($7.4 million) by selling a non-core business.Goldberg also said Aug. 14 the operator expects to invest up to 1.4 billion Canadian dollars in Lightspeed this year, after investing nearly a quarter of that in the first half as MDA prepares to start building 198 broadband satellites for the constellation.Telesat plans to cover around 46% of Lightspeed’s $3.5 billion cost via company equity and debt from an unnamed vendor. The rest is due to come from Canada’s federal government and the government of Quebec in deals Goldberg said Telesat is on the verge of completing.Meanwhile, declines in Telesat’s geostationary business led to a 17% year-on-year drop in revenues to 305 million Canadian dollars for the first half of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) fell 23% to 214 million Canadian dollars.More tools for connectivity distributorCalgary-based Infosat Communications was created more than 25 years ago with a focus on distributing satellite connectivity to oil and gas, utility and maritime customers in North America, particularly in Canada.Derek Dawson, co-CEO of Network Innovations, said the acquisition will greatly expand the company’s customer base in Canada, where only 6% of its business came from previously.Network Innovations specializes in providing connectivity integration services in challenging environments and for customers requiring extra resiliency, such as emergency services.The company provides connectivity from terrestrial networks and from satellites via partnerships with operators, including Starlink and OneWeb, which are set to compete with Lightspeed once Telesat’s network is slated to come online in 2027.More than half of Network Innovations’ customers are in the United States, followed by Europe and Asia. In 2017, Network Innovations also acquired Able Communications, a Houston-based satellite communications provider primarily serving oil and gas customers, from Telesat.“With all the disruption that’s happening in the industry from new business models and technologies, customers have way too many choices and have a difficult time navigating … how we might as an industry help them achieve what they want,” Dawson said.“For smaller companies, they don’t necessarily have the resources or the access to the technology that can best benefit their customers over the long term — and so that’s where guys like us come in.”Infosat is also strategically important for Network Innovations because, along with customer relationships, it comes with “a number of people that are hard to find in the industry,” he added.“And that just helps to bolster our total set of capabilities that we can bring to the market, whether that’s their customers or our customers.”Although most of Infosat’s assets were transferred to Network Innovations Sept. 1 following an initial round of regulatory approvals for the transaction, Dawson said the companies are still waiting for the green light to transfer certain communications licenses. http://109.70.148.72/~merchant29/6network/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/pexels-photo-27087100.jpeg BLOGGER - #GLOBAL

Adaptability in Action: The Evolution of Workspace Solutions in Calgary

Here, we will discuss what makes Calgary an innovative hub for adapting office spaces for today’s business needs, including start-ups and freelancers.

Evolution of Workspace Environments

From Traditional to Modern: A Shift in Calgary's Workspace Dynamics

The traditional office setup, once the cornerstone of the corporate world in Calgary, is giving way to more dynamic and flexible work environments. Driven by demands for cost efficiency, enhanced networking opportunities, and improved work-life balance, businesses across the city are increasingly embracing hybrid models. These models blend remote work with in-office days to create a balanced, productive environment for employees, catering to their diverse needs and lifestyles.

Technological Integration in Workspace Solutions

At the heart of Calgary's workspace evolution is the integration of cutting-edge technology. High-speed internet access, advanced cloud computing solutions, and mobile collaboration tools have eliminated many of the barriers previously associated with remote work. This tech-forward approach has paved the way for the rise of coworking spaces and virtual offices, enabling professionals to work efficiently regardless of their physical location. Furthermore, local tech companies continually innovate, offering new tools that enhance communication and collaborative efforts across different platforms.

The Rise of Coworking and Shared Spaces

The concept of coworking spaces has rapidly gained traction in Calgary, reflecting a shift towards more flexible, community-focused work environments. These spaces go beyond just providing a desk or office; they foster a collaborative community where members share ideas, skills, and resources freely. Catering to everyone from individual freelancers to large corporations, coworking spaces in Calgary offer scalable, cost-effective solutions that facilitate networking and community engagement, vital for growth and innovation in today's economy.

Sustainability Practices in Workspace Management

Another significant trend in Calgary's workspace solutions is the emphasis on sustainability. Many workspace providers are incorporating eco-friendly technologies, energy-efficient systems, and sustainable building materials in their designs. These green initiatives help reduce the environmental impact of business operations and promote healthier, more enjoyable workplaces. Such practices are increasingly crucial to businesses prioritizing corporate social responsibility and attracting like-minded employees and partners.

As Calgary continues to navigate the changing landscape of workplace demands, its adaptive and innovative approaches to workspace solutions highlight the city’s resilience and proactive outlook. The evolution in workspace solutions, from shared warehouse space to the burgeoning shared office space in Calgary, positions the city as a leader in fostering flexible and efficient work environments. These adaptable solutions not only meet the current needs of businesses but are also well-prepared to anticipate and adapt to future workplace trends, ensuring Calgary remains a frontrunner in the evolution of modern workspaces.

The urban landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, spurred by the need for cities worldwide to reassess their infrastructures and development strategies. A notable consequence of this shift is the increasing prevalence of vacant office spaces, as evidenced by initiatives like Calgary’s Downtown Office Conversion Program.

Global metropolises like Singapore, Barcelona, and Amsterdam stand as pioneers in the realm of smart city development, showcasing successful implementations of innovative technologies across various sectors.

Commercial Real Estate's Pivotal Role:

Central to the ethos of smart city development is the commitment to enhancing the quality of life for residents and visitors alike.

Layer 10 is dedicated to leveraging technology to create vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable urban environments where people can thrive.

Community-centric initiatives, such as the development of shared spaces and amenities, foster a sense of belonging and social cohesion within urban communities.

Smart transportation systems, equipped with real-time data analytics and predictive modeling, enhance mobility and accessibility, facilitating seamless urban connectivity.

Effective Spider Mite Control Solutions in Calgary

Spider mites may be tiny, but their impact on plants can be devastating. These minuscule pests can wreak havoc on gardens, indoor plants, and agricultural crops alike, causing leaves to yellow, wilt, and eventually die if left unchecked. For those in Calgary facing this pest menace, effective spider mite control is essential to safeguard plant health and preserve green spaces. Let's delve into practical strategies for spider mite control Calgary, specifically tailored to address the unique challenges faced in this region.

Understanding Spider Mites:

Before delving into control measures, it's crucial to understand the adversary. Spider mites are not insects but belong to the arachnid family, closely related to spiders and ticks. These pests thrive in warm, dry conditions, making Calgary's climate particularly conducive to their proliferation. Spider mites feed by piercing plant tissue and sucking out the fluids, leading to characteristic stippling, yellowing, and eventual leaf drop.

Spider Mite Control in Calgary:

1. Cultural Practices: Begin with preventative measures to discourage spider mite infestations. Regularly inspect plants for signs of mite activity, especially the undersides of leaves where they often congregate. Pruning away heavily infested plant parts can help prevent further spread. Additionally, maintaining optimal plant health through proper watering and fertilization can improve plant resilience against mite attacks.

2. Natural Predators: Encouraging the presence of natural predators can be an effective form of biological control against spider Mites control Calgary. Predatory mites, ladybugs, lacewings, and certain species of spiders feed on spider mites, helping to keep their populations in check. Creating a habitat that attracts these beneficial insects, such as planting diverse flower species, can aid in controlling spider mite outbreaks.

3. Horticultural Oils and Soaps: When spider mite populations are still manageable, horticultural oils and insecticidal soaps can provide effective control. These products work by suffocating the mites and disrupting their cell membranes. Care should be taken to apply these treatments thoroughly, ensuring thorough coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces.

4. Neem Oil: Derived from the neem tree, neem oil is a natural insecticide and repellent that has shown efficacy against spider mites. Neem oil disrupts the mites' hormonal balance, inhibiting their feeding and reproduction. Diluted neem oil can be sprayed onto affected plants, but it's essential to follow application instructions carefully to avoid leaf burn.

5. Chemical Control: As a last resort, chemical pesticides can be employed to combat severe spider mite infestations. However, caution must be exercised when using these products to minimize harm to beneficial insects and the environment. Selective pesticides labeled for mite control should be chosen, and application should be conducted according to label instructions.

For residents of Calgary grappling with spider mite infestations, prompt and effective action is essential to protect plant health and preserve green spaces. Mr G. Plant Health Care Services offers specialized mite control solutions tailored to Calgary's unique climate and pest pressures.
