Did you ever mow the lawn? Mine is crisp, I am leaving the dry grass standing, though I should mow just to reduce the fuel load.

I finished a wood carving of a fallen sequoia branch of unknown age.
Its an old guy smoking a pipe but the entire piece is an actual pipe.

Some say when Jupiter and Saturn were in a closer orbit the interaction nearly tossed Saturn out of the system. It ended up putting them both in a farther orbit.

Moons are even more plentiful.

I persuaded staff to relocate a spider plant out of the computer lounge.
THe plant had viney things shooting out everywhere for several feet.
It was set to envelop one computer monitor and the big printer.

Rogue Planets

Free-floating planets — dark, isolated orbs roaming the universe unfettered by any host star — don’t just pop into existence in the middle of cosmic nowhere. They probably form the same way other planets do: within the swirling disk of gas and dust surrounding an infant star.

But unlike their planetary siblings, these worlds get violently chucked out of their celestial neighborhoods.

Astronomers had once calculated that billions of planets had gone rogue in the Milky Way. Now, scientists at NASA and Osaka University in Japan are upping the estimate to trillions. Detailed in two papers accepted for publication in The Astronomical Journal, the researchers have deduced that these planets are six times more abundant than worlds orbiting their own suns, and they identified the second Earth-size free floater ever detected.

What a great source of material for Gluon to round up, should she wish.

It's controversial. Some people are all for it.

Versed is a commonly used anesthesia that causes memory loss. It also has awful side effects (headache, lethargy) for those who don't tolerate it. Ketamine also.

There are drugs to enhance memory formation, there are drugs to slow the degradation of memory but the most evil drugs are designed to erase memory for the purpose of establishing stop-loss for the military.

Last night in SLC. Went to the airport to fly in Denver to fly to Pittsburgh. Flight CANCELLED. New flight 10:30pm, now 11:30pm. Fly again to Pittsburgh, arrive 11:30 am to catch the boat before 2 pm when it's scheduled to leave.

This hasn't been a good day, and the night is gonna be quite short as well. I hope there are good beds on the boat.

I shall, in all likelihood, fight off swarms of mosquitoes and do my best to avoid alligators. I shall check in here when possible to insure that Mom is staying somewhat sober in this hot weather.

Look at the advantages H, no more veteran suicides, no more PTSD for our boys...

But AI warfare is not approved by Congress and...

Screw Congress, this is a matter of National security and China is probably ahead of us and could share with Russia. We can't have an AI GAP! Make project AK (Autonomous Kill) go full speed ahead. Every war begins by using the last war's weapons and strategy and then get to test our new stuff, This Ukraine war is an ideal battleground to wage our first false flag AI war.

I suggest we misdirect by advertising the use of our outdated weapons like cluster bombs.

Good thinking, we have to keep this move eyes only.

Once you do this you can't interrupt AI strategy which may be totally alien to anything we would do. Aborting the mission won't be an option anymore.

Bullshit, don't talk about pulling the plug before we even begin.

Yes sir.

My regular doctor told my that surgerical success is iffy,and I have an incomplete tear of my left hamstring. So he shot me in my right trochanter bursa and hoped to reduce so pain. It helped about two days. I still have a bandaid on my butt.

Tuesday and likely tomorrow I bunker up in the basement.
