I have a dear friend with dementia. She tells me she slept late bc old friends came over yesterday. No one did. But like AI, her mind fills the blanks with plausible reasons and antecedents. AI works like dementia!

I switched to using fountain pens years ago. A pleasure every time I write a note, a list, meeting minutes. Do it!

Tales of the Greeks and Trojans? We own a copy once.

My backyard has trees but not an arboretum. And the leaves are still falling.

Here is a ritual I developed after a year. On the anniversary of my husband’s passing, I go out to breakfast with 3 BFFs. We each chip in $10 and give it to the waitress. We pick out another family dining and ask her to put it against the bill anonymously. A surprise, a pay it forward memorial.

I heard that German has the phrase, She is in good hope. I like that.

It’s pregnant *women*. This isn’t random in the population. It’s women, every time.

I love that movie. Such a transformation.

Beautiful. Love that area of Hamilton.

They don’t have to ‘look’. Other countries have been using natural dyes and flavours for years. Eg: Froot Loops (sp?) in Canada. Your scientist should use best practice, already well established.

In Canada, Adelaide Hunter Hoodless lost her young son in 1889 after he drank raw milk. These deaths we so common it was called ‘summer complaint’ and recorded as meningitis. She was shocked to learn it was raw milk. We have known this > 100 yrs! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelaid...

Many other countries already use natural alternatives! Canadian Fruit Loops use real fruit as the sources for flavour and colours. Europe has solutions. The US doesn’t need to invent from scratch. This is not the Hero’s journey. This is just catching up to others.

Probably. Then the US can declare martial law, cancel the next election and invade neighbouring countries. ‘It was anarchy- we have to do it!’

Good question. Can’t see if they are open on top. Not sure there are hopper chutes underneath. Mystery cars!
