Just A Thought

 Artificial intelligence is suddenly the huge story all over the news that people are so concerned and worried about.  I would say that they are about three years late in their concern.  Silly people.  I became aware of AI doing perplexing and unbelievable stuff like three years ago.  True story.

 If people like members of the Trump family spend their lives attempting to acquire more and more money, they obviously don’t know how to use what they already have to be happy so more won’t make any difference.  

 Our president is still trying to bribe people into voting Republican in the midterm elections.  He makes it sound like it is something that he believes the American people just deserve and will receive, but at the bottom, the print “VOTE REPUBLICAN” tells us what the stipulations are for deserving this $5000 dividend.

 I just called to make an appointment to have my car’s oil changed, and I had the entire conversation with an AI assistant.  It talked to me as though I was talking to a human person.  It is a strangely changing world that we now live in.  At least it was a congenial and pleasant AI. It’s all good.  That’s the thought that just came into my head. Update:  Talking to the AI was a better experience than waiting for the humans.  I’m at the dealership because it’s covered under warranty but I have been waiting now for over an hour and a half.  It’s annoying to be waiting so long for just an oil change when I had an appointment. 😒 Well, I walked upfront to ask, and my car was ready. They just hadn’t yet come to tell me. 

 I’m excited every day now to wake up and take some time to work on puzzles.  After this one, the puzzles that I have remaining are three 1000 piece puzzles. 😲 At least they have lots of detail and they aren’t puzzles with lots of blue sky or green grass or trees or anything like that.  Doing puzzles is a great distraction from political stuff!👍😄 This was actually quite a challenging puzzle to put together because of its irregular shaped pieces!

 If only Mr. Trump wasn’t above the law.  How in the hell did he pull that off?  It’s one heck of a crazy thing to try to comprehend and the conclusion of Mr. Trump’s presidency is going to be a major dramatic show no matter when or how it concludes. https://youtu.be/KKyjZQeslTU?is=7LFLeVh1P0XXXI9L

I believe I just had an insight about why people may feel reluctant and not want to do things and perhaps want to procrastinate doing things.  One reason why people may feel stressed about single tasks is that they may be overwhelmed by the number of things that need to be done or could be done.  When there are a million simple things to be done, it can make single simple things feel more overwhelming.  It’s a life as a human thing.

 September in Texas isn’t the start of more fall like weather.  It is one of our hottest months along with July and August.  It is true that by the end of September the nights start to be somewhat cooler but the days certainly don’t feel any different from our South Texas Summer. 🥵 It’s not hot inside thank goodness, but no one here is lamenting the end of summer weather in September! ☀️

I haven’t put together a puzzle in quite some time, but I had been thinking about doing one.  I was inspired this week by a 96-year-old lady who showed me a photo of a 1000 piece puzzle of the Mayflower that she has been working on.  My puzzle though is only half the number of pieces and contains a lot of detail.  This is good for me though because once I start working on something like a puzzle, I don’t want to stop so I of course have to finish the whole thing in the same day. 😅

 I just thought of something about the Secret Service and it is not the first time that I have thought about it.  What does the Secret Service do when presidents are in foreign countries?  To the best of my knowledge, they can’t exactly scope out every bit of the surrounding area wherever the president will be to guard and protect him or her from any locations where potential shooters could be.  I don’t know anything about how it works with the Secret Service and American presidents in foreign countries.  It’s a strange question to think about.   I must admit it’s strange also to think about the Secret Service guarding and protecting a man who is actually a serious threat and detriment not only to his own country, but also to the world at large.  How ironic is that?  So much money spent to protect a man who in actuality is a source of great harm.

 Presently there are two Americans.  There is the America of our national leadership which at present is in a very bad and unwell place. Then there is also the America of the people.  This is still the same America that it has always been.  People still believe in the normalcy of our country and in fact conduct their lives as though this is absolutely still the case.  Thank you to all the American people who still believe in and carry on with the America that we have always been and still are.  This is so very needed and important.  There is such a contrast at present between the America of our national leadership and the America of the people.  It’s like we are living in two different realities.  They are both real though.

 Dear Mr. Trump, Don’t you know that leaders are supposed to be nice?  It’s true.  This along with the goodwill of the people is what truly makes a nation great and respected.  Without caring leaders and good people, a nation can’t be respected by other nations. Dear Canada, We the people do not feel or share the sentiments of Mr. Trump in our connection with our lovely northern neighbor Canada.

  Boo.  The words of my favorite app game have become too strange and unfamiliar for my liking.  It’s not fun when most of the words are things I have never heard off.  I guess I will have to delete the app and reinstall it and start back at level 1 for the 3rd time. Oh well, this if fine.  I certainly don’t have all the levels memorized.  Ha ha.  I said this and then completed another level.  I still might want to repeat the easier levels again though.  It will still be fun and challenging.

 I just heard that things are escalating in Trump’s War with Iran and I also saw that Trump is escalating in his threat posting on TruthSocial.  (This post was a threat from Trump and not about the island that was actually struck by the United States.  The link to the video is below along with another that he posted.) https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/117187722429803464 https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/117187725011060792 Update: 9/1/26 Until Trump is out of office, there is just going to be a never-ending conflict between him and Iran over who controls the Strait of Hormuz.  He can claim that he won the war and that Iran was defeated and that his objectives were accomplished, but he can’t ignore what is in reality still taking place with the Strait of Hormuz.  Trump conveniently doesn’t think about or grant validity to the fact that he (and thus the USA 😔) was the first aggressor who started it all.  He will never admit or take personal resp...

🫢 I had to laugh that our president seriously posted this on his presidential TruthSocial account.  The Canadian geese that are now Donald Ducks are protecting Lake America.  So sayeth the president. Wow 😮 https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/117179353983440485

 What is the deal with the Democratic congressman Hakeem Jeffries?  It seems like President Trump tempted him with a fiesta and he thought, “Well, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.”

We have a president who is suffering from narcissism and cognitive decline.  For whatever combination of reasons he is behaving like a complete child. 😩 https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/117168727183055554 https://truthsocial.com/@glennbeck/117173861158086662

 Donald Trump’s America may very well be a real detriment to Donald Trump himself.  His self-serving ambitions may, in fact, become an instrument of his own harm.  What irony.   https://youtu.be/u8e0lzWrc_I?is=uY8ffematgz3nOJF
