Coming back into harbor.

AI Learns from Humans?: 

 

Do you get the feeling that the word “Simple" will become a thing of the past 

 

I have this feeling that Tom Bardy will do just about anything to attain celebrity status and Last night's ‘roast” proved it. What's he going to do next, become one of the Kardashians? Wasn’t just having been a pretty good football player enough? 

 

A dahlia is one of those flowers that just makes a person stop and stare.  

 

The Question: 

We all know that Napoleon was exiled to Elba. But He died on another island. What was it? Bonus: What State was first to declare independence from England and last to ratify the Constitution? 

 

The Headlines: 

--Stocks Higher as WS Continues to Play Rate Relief Hope Game; Disney to Report Has Investors Intrigued, Tesla Lays Off More in Software Operations. 

--Israel Warns Rafah to Evacuate ahead of Pending Strike. Gazans Dancing in Streets of Rafah After Hamas says They Accept Truce Plan; Israel Says Deal Accepted by Hamas far from Israel Demands. 

--Russia To Hole Tactical Nuclear Weapon's Drills Following Alleged Threats from UK and France. 

--Massive Tornado Storm Expected Across Central USA 

--Judge Considering Jail Time Next as Trump Continues Break Gag Rule. 

 

Did you hear about the new US Jet fighter that is AI driven. It is a very cool looking plane. But what if AI teaches itself to take the plane rogue. We live in a complex world when AI driven planes could conceivably form their own Air Force.  

 

Life to me was really simpler when cybercrime wasn't lurking in the background. 

 

I’m hearing more people saying that while they think some of the new car gizmos are cool, they really don't need all the digital stuff to be happy driving. That it is there mainly because they know how to do it. 

 

Is there nothing sacred anymore?  

 

You can tell now that the judge in the hush money trial would really, really like to send Trump to jail for 30 days for contempt. They are now fining him # $1000 per incident, but in essence that is like cheap campaign spending for DT. 

 

How sad is it when Activist A-Holes are allowed to cancel Graduations.  

 

I like the CBS show Elsbeth the more I see it. It is just one of those “smiling through” shows that used to be pretty popular back when. A simple mystery show mystery shows without all the darkness of many TV police dramas. I've told you that in essence it is a female version of “Columbo". But then maybe it is too light for today’s aggressive society.  

 

On the nothing is sacred anymore circuit, Trinity Rep, the nationally acclaimed Repertory company in Providence has a new show scheduled for September just in time for the election: “POTUS: Behind every dumbass are seven women trying to keep him alive.”  While most of today's entertainment production are thinly veiled attacks on Trump, this one could be about wither of them.    

 

Hey, I missed Cinco de Mayo. Which reminds me of something that has puzzled me for years if not decades – why are so many people attracted to Mexican food?  

 

It seems like revenge a has become America's Pastime, and that is sad. 

 

The Answer: 

Napolean didn’t die in Elba where he was first exiled but where he was exiled a second time by the British on Saint Helena. It is in the South Atlantic and quite remote. Bonus: It is Little old Rhode Island that was the first thorn in King Georges side and teh last to agree to the constitution. Hence the moniker -- Rogue Island 

 

Is there anything that feels more peaceful than after a rigorous day of sailing in stormy seas than coming back into a quiet harbor and to the soft glow of the evening sun. Think about it. It's quite relaxing. Actually, it’s a little like when you stop banging your head with a hammer. 

 

I was a big fan of Enya for a while. Here's a nice lilting piece to send you on your way.
