Thoughts for the
day
It looks like the monsoon will drop some more rain before moving on. Yes!
Flagstaff received 1.1” of rain in August…that is well below the average
of 3.1” for August.
I grew up with the Dept. of Defense and I see no reason for Trump to
change it back to Dept. of War. I always like thinking, that dept. is defending
our world, and not starting wars.
If you look at your electricity bill, you know it has been going up every
month. A good portion of the rise is due to Artificial Intelligence’s need for
a huge amount of electricity 24/7. Notice that when a tree falls on a
powerline in your area and cuts off electricity, the electric company’s crew is
there to get it back online. There is no bill in the mailbox for fixing the
power. That’s because the law allows the electric utilities to spread that cost
to all their customers. As AI demands more and more electricity, the company
builds more plants and spreads the cost to all its customers. There must be
a better way.
The Afghan refugees who helped the USA during the war and were evacuated
to our country have just lost their temporary Visa status. There are still an
estimated 78,000 who helped the USA who are still sitting in Afghanistan,
hoping to get out. How will any local citizens help us in our next war when
they hear these stories? There are still many current and former USA combatants
who are trying to help those who helped and are still stuck in Afghanistan.
Myths from Medieval
Times
Even Peasants Had Table Manners
Do not believe Monty
Python--people in the Middle Ages were not always rude and brash. Everyone
knew table manners and basic hygiene. Before people sat down to eat, they
always washed their hands. Guests were expected not to make rude or offensive
jokes, especially in front of ladies.
People waited for everyone to
be served before eating. If a dog sat under the table, people were expected not
to feed them. Of course, the nobility had more strict etiquette rules than the
lower classes. But everyone had manners in the Middle Ages.
Things That Worked
Better Before They Were “Improved” by Technology
Record Players That Let You Feel the Music
While streaming services give
us instant access to millions of songs, they’ve taken away the ritual of
playing vinyl records. The process of carefully placing the needle, reading
album notes, and experiencing that warm analog sound created a deeper connection
to the music. Plus, album artwork was large enough to actually appreciate,
unlike today’s tiny digital thumbnails.
