AI incidents and accidents seem to be dripping out at a faster rate. Regular humans awareness of technical breakthroughs is generally decades behind the original research and testing.

Meanwhile, I felt the warmth of human kindness while gtisthis morning reading a story. A Providence woman was stopped at an intersection watching interaction between a policeman and a man. She knew the man as a guy who was always there each morning playing a saxophone, playing it very well. But there was no sax today. As she watched, the policeman went to his cruiser and brought out a black case, opened it and gave his old saxophone to the man. The woman felt the chills and the welling in her eyes.  

 

Door Dash, Uber Eats and others are growing entities. Yet to me it is just the most expensive way to eat. Adding tips and delivery costs to the already overpriced meal just doesn't make sense to me. What ever happened to doing things yourself. Oh wait, there's no app for that. 

 

The so called big NCAA football game of the week is LSU vs Ole Miss and it doesn't interest me at all. Two highly paid SEC teams going at it doesn't stir my imagination, If Florida State was still the Florida State, their game against Alabama woudl be interesting. The Big Ten looks like patsy week from here. My number nme most interesting game is Lehigh v Dartmouth. In reality, that couldb be a c great game. Homest. The Coaches-on-the-Hotseat game could be fun to watch – Dabo Swinny's Clemson versus Bill Belichick's North Carolina.

“Stressed” is dessert spelled backwards. 

It's become too easy to ruin a good day by worrying about what’s going on in the world and country. I’m giving it up for Advent.  

 

I have a big morning coming up. I think I’ll have dessert first.
