  New computer is NOT working yet ... I remember when apple worked like a charm ... not any more some machine art - all that's left - bummer no doubt ... 😐

  I may not survive the transfer AND all the new passwords required ... oh mommy ... machine art - artist - first art - chat - banquet - shelves - cloud - caspar -  committee - once upon a time getting a new computer was almost easy ... almost 😐

The American West is burning. I mean the American West is burning like I've never seen the West burning before ... ever. I've been around for a while now and this is just about as bad as I've ever known. Wake up in the cool of the early morning and the smell of wildfire smoke greets your just waking up lungs and oh mommy ... I need a choke. By noon when our sun is doing it's very best to make sure that should you venture outside, you'll be sorry in about no time at all. I do feel badly for folks that must do their working stuff outdoors and you can be assured that they've got plenty of water with those working to insure no one does the wilting drill and will immediately be in need of rescue personnel attention. When you hit the 110 degree ambient air temperature with 1% humidity mark you almost can stay ahead of the sweltering schtick but just barely. It's hot it's damn hot and that says it all. Add onto that nifty tidbit of news a raging wildfire, well,...

Sunday June 21. 2026 and today marks the summer solstice and today will mark the closest our earth is tilted toward our sun and numerous fun summery things can commence and ... yippee. Recent societal memes would have people believe that summer begins with Memorial Day. Not so my friends. Summer begins with the summer solstice and after today it's all downhill towards winter solstice and Xmas. You see meteorologically our year is broken up into four distinct meteorologic seasons. Spring starts with the vernal equinox then comes the summer solstice then the autumnal equinox and finally the winter solstice and viola ... year is done. Societally we don't recognize any of that but we should. The summer solstice is when our sun is tilted closest to our sun and the winter solstice marks the exact opposite of that summer tilt. The equinox spring and autumn, happen when earth is exactly half way to either solstice. I'm almost certain that all this makes sense ... maybe. The longe...

  Evidently a "Saturday's child" is destined to be a slave. Working hard for a pittance and groveling at every step and turn of that wheel of fortune. Sounds like one dreary bummer no doubt. While a "Sunday's child" is bonny, blithe, good, and gay. Gay? Are you kidding me? Why does a "Sunday's child" have to be destined for a life of hurtful discrimination and prejudice? Seems sort of fucked up ... you know what I mean. Of course one shouldn't try living life according to some rather antiquated 1830's English nursery rhyme. Of course living life like an 1830's nursery rhyme couldn't possibly be worse than forcing a child to adapt and believe as do those mostly crazy as can be evangenital christians. The evangenital christians are ringing batcrap nuts and they seem to be proud of that. I couldn't not tell you why. They're nuts so there is that. Now for Saturday machine art. No connection to English antiquated nursery rhym...

  In 2011 Japan had an earthquake so intense it moved the entire nation of Japan some distance to the east. Yep ... the whole Island nation of Japan moved that much closer to the Japan Trench. That "Trench" is a really deep trench like dealy that if you fell into it ... well ... it's all over. Anyway, the earthquake was of a magnitude 9.0 on the old Richter scale and that is one earth shaking, moving, and tidal wave producing earthquake. Yes there was a tsunami of significant size that killed about 18,000 people. Drowned most likely. So what the deal here is ... the earthquake generated a seismic wave so intense that the wave traveled all the way down to the Earth's core, bounced off our core, and proceeded back up through our creamy nugget center and that shock, bounce, reverb, took 13 minutes for fait accompli and the really scientifically surprising aspect in all of this, that wave moved the entire island nation of Japan six millimeters to the east. Not just part o...
