Happy Thanksgiving

T' is for Turkey not for Trump.  Ok, there is a lot of similarities.  Egret:   Where are you spending Thanksgiving?  Buzzard:   With family. 

Birds Remember the movie

A fish kill in the backyard pond caused by a sudden drop in temperature invites birds both big and small to feast.  At first, it was a marvelous sight, but the stench is something only nature could cope with.

How to feel less bad

“I recognized in myself a long time ago that I don’t instill fear in anybody , ” Hanks said. “Now, that’s different than being nice, you know? I think I have a cache of mystery. But it’s not one of malevolence.”Credit...Daniel Dorsa for The New York Times Each man makes himself the person he would be when his body and mind become one.  Yes, the body we are arranged with is a crapshoot.  The mind will or will not approve and the outcome will be one of a fairy tale or a criminal disaster with the majority of us falling somewhere in between.  This is a reblog from a New York Times article.  The comment above is my own.

Walking is only half the battle  Forgetting how you got there is the other half

Technology is what makes life possible to an extent or a living hell in the hands of those with an agenda who have no vision of the consequences.    Personal opinion

Lolita came from a chic to the fifty-year-old you see here  Since her sex has never been confirmed her name could be Sam as well  She is a yellow nape Amazon parrot with beautiful green feathers  Her best quality is her ability to associate sounds  The hidden rumble of peanuts will alert her to food  Lolita is smart    persistent  and very loud   Ask any of my neighbors

My favorite medium

Actually, I am large, but when it comes to art I like the 32-bit program that should be updated to 64 bit  That program is Bryce  Here is an early vision that was easy to reproduce  It's all in the interface  This site may have a 64 bit version  I have not tried to install the program yet  Links to vendors are not recommendations Treat as all untested sites Apologies  I didn't know this was a Russian language version - It may be worth the effort to work with it

Got Wheel  Modes of transportation evolve successfully or become an interesting past time.  The destination is not where you go but how you got there.

Nothing changes

Once there was a pier here Now fishers wade in water Rocks and beams are all that’s left The fish still look for slaughter

iPad therefore I am

Steve Jobs, the inventor of the iPad did not allow his children to become dependent on technology - no phones at the dinner table, etc..  I made a living understanding the operating systems of an array of different computers and found myself engulfed with the idea that they would improve my life.  What they did was provide me with a way to support my family while losing them to the hours required to acquire skills.   The antithesis of technology is its contrived derivation: tech no logy - technical without logic.  That's right the computer is just a machine without emotions and the inability to draw on conclusions without the use of the man-made sophisticated algorithms. The human brain is your first computer.  For serious work and other essentials like spell checking, use a machine.  It has its place but certainly not at the dinner table and probably not even to tell the world your daughter cut her first tooth.
