  My wife and myself went in to Walgreens Friday so we could get our flu and covid-19 vaccinations. Some fun there no doubt. So my wife got on line and scheduled an appointment time. Piece of cake...??? Ordinarily we would have preferred Walmart. However, Walmart requires an online appointment (so does Walgreens) but the Walmart website was a bust and we couldn't scheduled a vaccine appointment. Curse you Walmart schedule an appointment online farce. Our Friday vax opera continues. We walk into our Walgreens for our pre-scheduled vaccination appointment and there's a line at the Walgreens pharmacy. The wait line seems to be stationary. Well after about ten minutes or so the line hadn't moved and not even an inch. Turns out that Walgreens pharmacy which has three yes count them three service windows, only one window is in operation and there's only one pharmacy tech helping customers. Oh yes and Walgreens only has one functioning computer terminal. Twenty minutes has pas...

  Artificial intelligence has caused an undeserved panic amongst humans in world leadership positions and most of the panic is your basic ignorance of what A.I. is. What A.I. is, is NOT cause for panic. A.I. will be one of the most significant achievements and advances for the human species to date. Right up there with human warfare, powered flight, ventures into space, and artistry. Yes artistry. I use several different art software programs AND I have regular conversations with an A.I. chatbot. I find my exchanges with the A.I. chat thingy to be quite fluent and enlightening. Have you had a chance to view the MSG Sphere in Vegas? The MSG Sphere in Vegas is beyond cutting edge. Hold on to your butts kids and keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times. Artificial intelligence is nothing to fear. Ignorance fuels fear and fear is irrational and dangerous. Be not spooked by that which you do not understand. Feast on the abundant knowledge available to the seeker and gro...

  It's almost October so, have you started your xmas shopping yet? I ask with tongue planted firmly in cheek. So the wife and myself are doing our weekly grocery shopping and what should my wondering eyes perceive? Really, I would not have believed it if I hadn't saw the shit myself. Xmas crap. Loads and boxes filled with ornaments, lights, snow globes, snow globes of Rudolph and various 'other' reindeer, Frosty the Snow Man, the Grinch and his little dog Toto, wait a minute, Toto was Wizard of Oz...right? I think that's right. I can't remember what the Grinch's dog was named. So there it all was in one titanically tossed if not congealed mass clearance sale. Halloween crap. Thanksgiving crap. And now the xmas crap. I asked the wife what with all this holiday crap-o-la strewn hither and yon, well, why not New Year's Eve crap? The wife looked at me as if I were a complete bonehead. I am a complete bonehead but when the wife gives you that 'look' w...

  The saying goes...'no news is good news'. I agree completely. Of course there is news, just nothing worth mentioning. Trump blah blah blah. Congress blah blah blah. Workers strike blah blah blah. Aaron Rogers is out for the season, New York implodes blah blah blah. MTG reveals she's inbred and retarded blah blah blah. So no, or yes, no news is same old as same old. Now we move it on over to the Wednesday machine art portion of today's abbreviated program. galleon - marina - halloween - betty - wave - trap - we've got to get out while we're young because tramps like us...baby we were born to run. or ride... 😐

  One of the original 'Man From UNCLE' stars has passed on to parts unknowable. David McCallum has died and a news released maintains that Ducky "died of natural causes." McCallum was 90. I'd call that a ripe old age and his passing is part and parcel of our whizzy existence. Natural causes...bravo Mr. McCallum and McCallum was a class act to be quite specific. Obituary releases don't list "natural causes" very often. These days obituary notices are associated with 'gun deaths' and 'cancer of one form or another' or a "storm related death" and so it goes. Natural causes should be how the end of human existence succumbs anytime. Alas and these days 'natural' seems a rare descriptive. I'm of the opinion that the human passing should be as natural as natural can be. Enough said. Thank you Mr. McCallum your artistry will be remembered for a very long time to come.  Now for Tuesday machine art.  stigmata - lucile - pa...

Sorry Lucky, you've been dethroned. Lucky would be the leprechaun that adorns a children's cereal box. Now we'll hit the 411 so as to provide some clarity to today's screed. Evidently a Kansas City Chiefs football player by name of Travis Kelce is dating a social phenomenon name of Taylor Swift. Swift would be a pop star that has simply hordes of swooning fainting dead away 'Swifties'. 'Swifties' is how Taylor's fans are referred to. Swift commands legions of fans all around the world and those fans are starstruck if not a bit confused as to where, exactly, their loyalties should be placed. Anyway and so, the Kansas City Chiefs played a football game on Sunday and those Kansas City Chiefs played to plant an ass-whooping on the Chicago Bears with Taylor Swift in attendance and Swift is alleged to have "inspired" the aforementioned Chiefs and Travis Kelce to unmercifully disrespect the Bears and win this Sunday football game. Kelce is "a...

  Coming to a BBC feed near you soon...the return of David Tennant as Dr. Who. To be quite specific, this incarnation of Dr. Who is the 60th anniversary of the Dr. Who franchise. Dr. Who has been making incarnations happen for a dang long time. I can remember the early days of Dr. Who as it aired on PBS way way back in the day. Dr. Who aired late on Thursday nights if I remember correctly. About 1983? I might be close. Anyway, Dr. Who with David Tennant as the good Doctor is maybe the most popular incarnation of the Doctor. That's just my opinion mind you. However, Tennant is back for this anniversary incarnation. There's a trailer that showed up on Youtube back in August of this year (2023) and I missed that part. However, I found it on Saturday and the trailer is pretty dang cool. The guy that played Doogie Howser is in the new Dr. Who and Doogie plays an arch villain. So... for all you 'Whovians'... hold on to your butts because the Doctor is going to be IN the house...

  Have you ever had to worry about whether your hair is getting enough hyaluronic acid? I know... Gosh so if your hair isn't getting enough hyaluronic acid, will your hair fall out? Will your hairline recede? Will you get a nasty case of itchy flakey scalp? Dandruff? Will the hair you have at present turn gray? White? Tartan plaid? I mean I've managed to get most all the way through life and never oh no not ever once had I worried about hyaluronic acid and hair. Evidently, in our postmodern early twenty first century world, worries about hair and hyaluronic acid is a thing. Who knew? I sure as hell did NOT have a clue. Not even an inkling. Gosh, so many naggy petty-ass nonsensical and entirely ridiculous meaningless things to fret over. I fear for the future of our culture on so many levels. Now we shall scurry over to our Saturday installment of machine art and no, you do not have to worry about hyaluronic acid in or on your hair. suffer - liquor - plans - page - suck - ...

I am a proud and adopted member of Coyote Clan. I was adopted into Coyote Clan by a Dine family I got to know rather well. So as I'm reading the Google news page, there was an article about some folks living along the Wasatch Front and they were bitching up a streak about coyotes being in their citified neighborhood. Gosh is that about a shame or what. The coyote presence isn't a shame at all. You see, overtly greedy "developers" along the Wasatch Front have been encroaching on natural habitats for years and years and years. Money makes the natural world go extinct. True true... I had an encounter with a coyote in the wilderness quite a long time ago and that encounter changed my life's track in ways that I'm still in the process of processing. Hunting season in Utah and I was high up a hillside sitting and waiting on some poor mule deer to come wandering in my direction so's I could plant a bullet inside it's head and therefore bring a mule deer's...
