A bit negative last time, eh? Tell you what, if I had any children I would URGE them not to have children. Don't do it. Don't keep that crazy cycle going. Meanwhile, fertility in the USA is down 4%. That's encouraging. It ought to be down 40%. Moving in the right direction though.
Torrents of rain and tornado warnings in New Braunfels while I was there. I thought I might be stranded by flooding. In some areas near San Antonio, hail stones the size of Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit!
Recently I got many New Braunfels pics. But I'll finish these first.
I was very cautious after my first Moderna shot, but after the second one, which was around 3 pm, I decided to have a glass of wine later that evening, a cabernet, and I had no problems. Of course, I did the weights that morning and the next morning with no issues. But I think it would be wise to NOT do that. Around the end of this month, I will probably try eating out, if I can find a place with some distancing precautions in effect. It's been so long since I've been to a restaurant...
And I hope to have many, many, more sometime soon. Meanwhile. consider what's happening in India right now as a vision of what the USA would be like, if tRump had gained a second term.
The scariest thing about the video I posted last time is that devices like that would not be very hard to do. The AI is not so advanced that these "slaughterbots" are in any way thinking. It's just a set of adaptable target strategies, easily within reach by mid-century. Or maybe even in the next five years. I don't think humanity has NO future-- I just have reason to believe that the future will be hellish. It's good to be old!
Good old house. Its best days are long gone.
