Every time you pump gas at the gas station the question stares you right in the face... Gee, maybe I should have gotten one of those electric cars that don't use gas... Charge it at night when I'm asleep and run it during the daytime... Both my cousin and my niece have them and they say they're great!
And then there's the obvious fact that commercial air travel is a disaster... It used to be that the "Jet Set" was so groovy... Not anymore... The "Stay at Home Set" is now the fashionable people...
I spent years riding the bus to work in both San Jose and Eureka... And I can tell you from personal experience that riding the bus was great... I sat in the back and talked to girls...
Have you seen the price of hamburger recently? Maybe the hippies were right... Maybe veggies and brown rice is a better way to live...
and then there's bicycles... I used to live in Chico, California which is a completely flat town and everything is within 10 MI of everything else so... Owning a bicycle was the way to go... There's never a problem of finding a place to park... The college has endless bike racks!

Beneath the surface of the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz lies a hidden network that quietly powers the modern world—and it’s now under threat. Just 17 fragile undersea cables carry nearly 17% of global internet traffic and almost all data flowing between Europe and Asia. These aren’t just cables—they’re the backbone of a multi-billion-dollar AI boom across the Middle East.
From Microsoft’s massive UAE investment to Amazon’s Saudi cloud region and Google’s AI hub near Dammam, entire digital ecosystems depend on these unseen lifelines. But as tensions rise in 2026, the risks are no longer theoretical. From accidental damage to potential targeted disruptions, these cables are increasingly vulnerable.
And the stakes couldn’t be higher. Unlike brief outages, a serious disruption could trigger months of global instability—impacting banking, cloud services, and AI systems worldwide. In today’s world, the real battleground may not be on land or air—but deep beneath the sea.
