On a softer wave:
If you always try to look to the beautiful side of life, you will find it.
It seems like we demolished them but so far Iran is able to keep the Strait closed. Keeping up with what is happening in this war is becoming more difficult. There are talks; there aren't talks. Iran has no offense. Isarel reports of stronger Iran missiles never seen before. Oil goes up; oil goes down. Europe wants the war to end; Saudi Princes says keep the war going. War changes everything, especially rational thinking.
I predict in the Middle East, there'll be one country and The Persian Gulf. Just Kuwait and sea. Oh noooooo.
There's a lushness and depth to Sebelius music that belies the
Perceived images of the Finland landscape. It is so easy to draw conclusions from perception over reality.

“Open Claw” is a newly acquired taste for AI aficionados, though some are Learning fast it could be really dangerous. It allows users to run custom AI agents on their desktop systems, giving the bots control over their data and programs. Sounds insane to me. For instance, an AI safety and alignment worker for Meta’s superintelligence lab said that her own OpenClaw bulk deleted her email without her permission. Think of the stupid mistakes somebody like me would make. Fortunately companies like NVidia and Cisco are jumping in putting guard rails around the agents. There's always something.
Some scientists have discovered new species in Cambodian caves, One of them is flying snakes. Flying snakes!!! Get me outta there.
There's a meeting of congress and Trump planned for today, If the Dems capitulate on TSA it means that Trump has pictures of Chuck Schumer and Rosie O’Donnell.
Classical music stations most often play Dvorak's Symphony from the New World. But I really like his 8th Symphony better. The New World sounds more like Porgy and Bess. But it is nice.
Russia has been fighting for four years to capture the 233,022 square miles of Ukraine. Iran is 3 times laerger at 636,372 square miles. Just an observation
Some days, it feels like the world is spinning faster than I can keep up—politics, wars, wild scientific discoveries, and even sausage sandwiches vying for attention. I scroll through headlines and shake my head at the chaos, wondering if anyone truly understands what’s happening anymore. Then I remember to breathe, maybe listen to Sebelius or Dvorak, and remind myself that sometimes all you need is a good breakfast and a little music to ground you in the midst of global uncertainty. Even when everything feels unpredictable, at least the small joys—like the anticipation of baseball season or the comfort of a favorite tune—show up, reminding me that life’s edge isn’t always so dangerous after all.
I keep sausage, egg, cheese sandwiches around for special breakfast treats on a limited basis, The other day a foodie expert wrote a story about the best of these sinful breakfast sandwiches saying Costco and Trader Joe’s were the best. He was wrong about Trader Joes.
Actually, every time I go out to breakfast with friends I always promise myself not to order sausage with it because it could be bad for me. Then I always order sausage with it, See, I'm a wild and crazy guy walking on the edge.
Flying snakes!!
The Ya.Ya, Ya... (well you know who I mean) and the SF Giants open the Baseball Season tomorrow. I won't be watching, but I will be getting ready for the Red Sox opener at Cincinnati the following day. I'm a little bit excited this year.
The people in the RI State legislature think raising the minimum wage is an economy. Fools.
The Answer:
There are no cities on that piece of ice but there are two settlements that look like villages with schools, Churches, Post Office and all the necessities -- Villa est Estrellas (Chile) and Esperanza Base (Argentina). Ther is also the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Sation (US), and Murdo Station (US), Davis (Aust), Law-Racovita (Rimania), Neiymyer II (German) and Orcadas (Argentina). There are two abandoned whaling stations – Lieth Harbor and Grytvoken.
So, maybe there is a possibility of solving the affordable housing issue, with improved fleece, of course.
