After exchanging email with a friend about the topic of abortion I picked up this piece of wood that appeared to be an image.  I am a retired photographer, etc... and find images intriguing  Some of them prophetic, others just visual toys Coincidence is another interest of mine  Multiple occurrences of the same event appear to the senses over and over again in a day or are stretched over a longer period of time  It has been said there is no such thing as coincidence as there is little validation in the concept of time  Of course this does not apply to finance   Right Vladimir?

I worked for a tech company and wanted to know more about computers  It was a learning experience, however it was expensive and the learning curve was intensive - at least for me  I became the president of the local TI99/4 users group which helped us all with understanding and shared experiences  At the time I was engaged in legal wrangling and found the personal computer fit the job of keeping track of essetial data Obsession became a necessity and I still use computers today for graphics, this blog and personal finance, etc  The full article on the TI99/4 can be found here Source WIKI  

 Marilyn Monroe    "To my eye at least, the actual photo of Marilyn is much more appealing than Sorayama's version. By attempting to exceed reality he has created something a little colder than reality. He's left out the mystery and romance, the heart that is so important to the beauty of women such as Marilyn or Bettie, or to the "girls next door" that they are the idealization of."

  The Old Man's Comforts and how he gained them by Robert Southey You are old, Father William, the young man cried, The few locks which are left you are grey; You are hale, Father William, a hearty old man, Now tell me the reason I pray. In the days of my youth, Father William replied, I remember'd that youth would fly fast, And abused not my health and my vigour at first That I never might need them at last. You are old, Father William, the young man cried, And pleasures with youth pass away, And yet you lament not the days that are gone, Now tell me the reason I pray. In the days of my youth, Father William replied, I remember'd that youth could not last; I thought of the future whatever I did, That I never might grieve for the past. You are old, Father William, the young man cried, And life must be hastening away; You are chearful, and love to converse upon death! Now tell me the reason I pray. I am chearful, y...

It's a sign of just how hard it will be for Republicans to hold on to the support they have and expand it, as pro-gun groups and others whip up supporters against the framework. Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia -- the most conservative Democrat in the Senate -- defended the newly reached bipartisan agreement on Monday, adding it takes "no rights away, no privileges away" from gun owners. Separately, Ohio’s governor Monday signed a Republican-backed bill into law that makes it easier for teachers and staff to carry guns on school premises."   Just what we need, a shoot out between education staff and genetically/psychologically lobotomized teenagers.  (opinion) Source  ...

  By Maria Popova "Who can weigh the ballast of another’s woe, or another’s love? We live — with our woes and our loves, with our tremendous capacity for beauty and our tremendous capacity for suffering — counterbalancing the weight of existence with the irrepressible force of living. The question, always, is what feeds the force and hulls the ballast." A book for the times we are living in right now.  Who of us gives in to terrible force, and who fights for individuality - freedom?  Pandemic, war, political division, social tragedy and discord: These are all happening at this moment  We survive because we choose to  We choose right from obvious wrong and battle to save ourselves  We are worth the effort  WE are the people who make the world what it is    Art from Trees at Night by Art Young, 1926.

 Ukraine: developments The bodies of some Ukrainian fighters killed while defending Mariupol from Russian forces at the smelter were transferred to Kyiv. This was reported by relatives of servicemen of the Ukrainian regiment "Azov", which is part of the National Guard. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the UK is providing Kyiv with the weapons it needs to wage war on Russia and thanked Prime Minister Boris Johnson for "totally understanding the needs" of Kyiv. Russia US Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan believes that the two major nuclear powers should continue to talk to each other, he told the Russian state news agency. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the imposition of sanctions against 61 American citizens. The sanctions list includes high-ranking US officials and representatives of such large companies as Netflix, Universal Pictures, CBS and others. Russian and Belarusian educational organizations are excluded from the Bologna proces...

The rocket engines look like those found on exhibition at the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral Florida.   North Korea would save a lot of face by launching worthwhile rockets that have a future.  Now they are dumping those rockets toward its east coast for testing?    Kim Jong Un (김정은) would better serve his people by feeding them rather that offering fish a place to spawn.    Source   theverge.com

"Exactly three months have passed since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine . During this time, many representatives of the Russian elites changed their position several times in relation to the war and the situation in the country. Extreme pessimism gave way to moderate optimism, which, in turn, was replaced by the same moderate pessimism. According to Meduza sources close to the Kremlin, these sentiments have now taken another turn: now many people are personally dissatisfied with Vladimir Putin. Moreover, this position is shared by those who advocate the continuation of the war, and those who want peace."     What? Me worry? Article source:  https://meduza.io

Most of our perceived world is in parallel with another  Appearance and function don't have to agree for there to be correspondence  Yet another one of us as a person or a nation can exist without our knowing   It's only when they cross the boundary of space do we realize how similar we are   Time is not relevant and never has been   We exist for the entertainment of god like elements only a few mathematicians are able to cavort with   We send our own kind into space for proof

  The Ukraine uses drones like this one for reconnaissance.  They need hardware with longer range and hang times of an hour or more.  Knowing what's coming is obviously a logistical advantage.  The US has yet to develop a tactical non lethal military drone with expanded surveillance capabilities needed by Ukraine. (This type of drone may be in development for Ukraine) DJI is the commercial drone of choice for aerial pictures usually to asses destruction. It is used for early warning of enemy military movements and artillery positions.    The drone as shown above  This picture take with a twenty five year old Sony Mavica digital camera with .3mega pixel sensor   Files are stored on 3.5" floppy disk
