Good thinking, Bill:
I saw my first Robin today. That’s a nice way to start Easter Week.
Is AI the new Devil ...because CEOs are saying, “AI made me do it” when referring to job cuts and other reductions that affect people's lives. Wall Street loves job cuts morethan anything, so that;s looking like a good partnership.

It was for volunteer firemen and was in front of the WG Fire Department. Thanks to a keen-eyed reader.
That was quite the game between UConn and Duke. UConn looked confused, frustrated early due to an unrelenting Duke D. But you started to see the Huskies chipping away at the Blue Devils' lead. While they got closer and momentum was shifting, they got close, nobody expected them to win it with Duke in control of the ball with seconds to go. But UConn didn't go the typical foul route; they forced an error that led to a steal and a magnificent heave from 35 feet. There were some who thought a celebration technical should have been called on UConn. But the refs preserved rational understanding as teh excitement didn't interfere with the game. It was just hwta itg was. -- ebullient jubilation after winning a hard fought comebakc victory.

RI has its own April Fools joke for the citizens – making Kratom legal on April 1. In case you ren;t aware it is oneof those rising in popularity drugs sued self-treatment of pain, anxiety and Opioid withdrawal. Mayo Clinic says it is “Unsafe and ineffective”. It is not approved by the FDA. Yet for some it is the next nirvana. It can destroy your liver and cause seizures, and cardio/vascular issues. It is dangerously addictive. The new RI law that allows it to be sold in smole shops says it must be kept in locked counters and can't be sold to anybody under 21. So why would they make something so dangerous and potentially destructive legal and accessible. Dies some state legislator have a brother-in-law who owns a smoke shop, NBh.

The Answer:
It was called Seward's G Fi olly In 1867 Secretary of State Willaim Seward paid Russia $7.2 Million for Alaska. That's about 2 cents an acre. It was considered a foolish waste of money for a frozen wasteland. Some called it Seward's Icebox. But the tune changed when gold was discovered. And think today of having Russia maintaining their forces in the North American territory,
So here is a a start.
