Last Chance?

Among the float of ominus questions about Artificial Intelligence (AI):

A west coast group has started higher education in AI. Precousor ?

American elites, no doubt, have history of rascism. Will AI similarly eliminate those

unwilling to, or incapable of, educating oneself for the future?

How should, or could , society prepare, educate?

The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
As the present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin’

And the first one now will later be last
For the times, they are a-changin’

KNOCK,KNOCK

Maybe ?

AI may be offering a unique “level playing field”.

Two years ago, most people knew little about AI. Even now the arena offers opportunity for those who

can educate themselves.

For Americans, this may be the first time there is EQUAL OPPORTUNITY.

There is a new race on, but some facts hold true: Those who work the hardest have the best chance.

The Big Alligator

Last spring small alligators appeared in a few of our community’s 10 ponds.

The Wildlife’s Alligator Man spoke to our group. For an hour he tried to sell two points: 1. The small ones we had spotted can’t hurt us and 2. When they grow to a dangerous size Wildlife would relocate them.

The problem was earlier he had extolled the amazing ability of grown Gators to remember, and often return to, their origins.

Say What?

Trump snuck igconito on to plane 2. He sent J. D. and Mario and the others on the “safe one.”

Say What ?

FROM NYT

Insults, Expletives and Fat-Shaming: Vance Trolls Critics on the Right and Left.

CLIPS

It was hardly the first time that someone on social media called someone else fat. But it may have been the first time that a vice president of the United States did so.

Mr. Vance also appears to have a natural appetite for conflict, the product of a generation that grew up with gladiatorial political instincts. It is not enough that someone else may be wrong about policy or politics; they must be stupid, mendacious, vile or, yes, even overweight.

********************

Comedian Ron White, who said “F— you ! “, to his debate opponent, concluded : I THOUGHT I’D WON !

PRO VS CON

Back when people could talk to each other, I heard this rationale frequently : ” I voted for Trump because he is a business man!”

Now, summer 2026, that has mitigated to: ” I don’t like some of his behavior, but he has done a lot of good things!”

Here is a new game to break up a marriage, or family, or friendship, etc:

Flip a coin, winner chooses first or second go.

(Pro wins, selects first )

Round 1–PRO names a GOOD thing he has done. CON names a bad thing he has done.

Round 2 and thereafter who goes first alternates. Con first in round 2.

Winner is player who can keep naming new support for PRO or CON

The Greatest Sentence Ever Written

Walter Isaacson

Premise

“The author argues that these early edits reveal the Founders balancing the roles of reason and faith in defining American rights. The final sentence declares that all men are created equal and possess unalienable rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Isaacson presents this sentence as one of the defining statements of the American founding.”

Obama vs Trump

Boxing was a big deal in 1955.

Televsion was new. A lot of disagreements ended in fist fights. Knives and Glocks now.

Written in 2019 :

” Wednesday night was a big night later at the Ritters. Gillette’s Cavalcade of Sports (Boxing on TV). Remember the big parrot carrying the round numbers?
Walt, the old man was a big burly, funny guy. And sober he was a treat. Sober didn’t happen with a lot of mill workers, but on Wednesday night we watched the fights. Walt pulled for whoever the white guy was. For me, Kid Gavilan, Jersey Joe Walcott, Joe Louis, and Rocky Marciano, were gods.

No duels, but certain words had meaning : ” Say that to my face” .

Did Obama just call Trump OUT?

Have they crated that death cage off the front lawn?

Pay for View bonaza !!!!!

I’d still pull for the black guy.
