For some reason I am reminded of the evil ones forcing a few musically gifted prisoners to play soothing music for fellow prisoners reroute to their final “showers.”

So true. Frosting on the cake: The AI message (Idiotic would be a better word) only said something like “cannot post your message because of an inappropriate word,” but did reference the word itself. I had to intuit the “offense” and act accordingly. It was not even the word itself, but four letters within the word, which is a legitim…[Read more]

If you change your mind, I suggest you acquire Bay Rum or Arpege.

Note: the above post was originally rejected because I used the common word for the second year of high school. What a life.

I recall in Billings, Montana, 1955 (high school) when all the locals complained about not being able to get paper dollars, only silver dollars were a available at the time. Major complaint: wore holes in pockets. Too heavy! (sigh.). If only…. (sigh,again).

My thought: When has there never been climate change, on any time scale?

Odd. Here in Salt Lake City, on downtown Main Street near the temple, I encountered a newish city sign at a streetcar stop stating little more than “fight human trafficking,” or words to that effect. This is a city sign. My thought was/is you (the city, state) are in a better position to do so through intelligent application of resources tha…[Read more]

I have pondered the outcome of concurrent competing weather manipulators/jockeys busy at their Pong style joysticks.

To justify their existence to to continue to support their life style. Recycle, rinse and repeat. Baby needs new shoes.

It’s a snow job alright.

Agree. The Nevsky Square site in St. Petersburg is one of my windows to the world. I have even learned a few musical chops from the street musician who usually plays from about midnight to 3:00 am (their time), weather permitting. Love watching horses share the wide sidewalk (their is a stable nearby, probably a block or so away) and the…[Read more]

s\b “Samo samo – a Japanese term. Posting here requires jousting with the robots… I grow weary yada yada.

Yes. Of course. Samo Samoa all the way. As an olden days comic strip, Pogo, frequently said, “We have met the enemy, and he is us.”

Agree. I am at the point of always turning it off and keeping it off. Check it daily for messages and use it for online banking and ordering shopping items (just received a 432 Hz tuning fork :). Feeling much better. More time for sunshine with quiet time. Use mini iPad to check favorite sites, such as this site. Side benefit: longer…[Read more]

Back in 1962 I had a 1955 T-Bird. Brings back memories. Kind of a sled, but it was pretty to look at. I always favored VW of any kind, especially the square back sedan which was never sold in the USA but acquired from a GI who shipped it from Germany. Never a problem with any of them. But I digress. A trip down memory lane…

A mobile jail cell that can be disabled at will or perhaps remotely steered off the road at insane acceleration; proven to be highly effective in the elimination of pesky reporters peering into verboten places dontcha know. (This program really doesn’t want to spell words anyway other than it’s way.)

IMHO, what is magic to one may be a law of nature to another. Both could be correct.

The one part perfectly understood was, near the end, referencing escalating billable hours.
