I Have a Different Relationship With TIME Than Most People. I Like to Program My Computer so I Spend a LOT of Time IN THE ZONE. Or As My Computer Science Teacher Said:

You Work on a Project for an Hour and Then Look at the Clock and Four Hours Have Passed... That's Also True For Designing Math WINPLOT Shapes... I Have to Write Formulas and Equations to Control Where the Lines are Drawn... and That's Tricky!

Bottom Line: I Spend The Vast Majority of My Life PLUGGED IN... Experiencing Time Distortion Effects... What if I Spend 20 Years Doing This? or 30 Years? 

I also Spend a Lot of Time Designing Artwork and MEMEs in Paint Dot Net and GIMP... Then I Upload my Work to Zazzle where I Sell Coffee Cups and Buttons and T-Shirts With My Art Painted on Them...  I enjoy doing that so... as They Say... "Time Flies When You're Having Fun." TRUE!

And I Write My Opinions, Fiction, Autobiography and Jokes - then Publish My Words on 12 Different Social Media Platforms and Blogs... and Sing my Songs on Youtube... I Get About a Thousand Visitors a Day... Maybe as much as Two Thousand Visitors a Day... 

Everything I'm Interested in is Open 24 Hours a Day. The Kitchen at Home is Open. The Internet is Open. My TV Works 24/7/365... I Have Electric Lights so Night and Day Have NO REAL MEANING... Yes, The Care Givers at My Old Folks Home Serve Breakfast Lunch and Dinner at Set Times. and If I'm Asleep They Will Wake Me Up. and They WILL Not Make Coffee until after 4 AM... 

The "Jeopardy" TV Show is at 4PM and 7PM and Quite Often I Watch Both. But It's Unimportant if I Miss them... and I Like Penn and Teller's "Fool Us" on Monday Nights... Nothing Else is Worth Watching... Except for "Ancient Aliens" Reruns, "The Simpsons" and "Futurama."

I Do a Guided Meditation Every Monday at 6PM with Sonya Sophia... I Almost Always Attend On Time. It's Called World Tapping Circle. We Say Positive Statements while applying Accupressure... to Meridian Locations... Frankly, It Seems Bogus to Me, BUT... She is a Beautiful Woman and So I Like Participating on this Video Webinar... I Met Her at the Rainbow Gathering in Utah 2014 and So... She is Worthy...  an Organic Earth Mother... 

Sonya Sophia - World Tapping Circle Webinar

I Have No Tasks. The Care Givers Here at Home... Cook the Food, Go Shopping, Take Out The Garbage, Mow the Lawns, Do the Laundry, Mop the Floors and Remind Me Twice a Week to Take a Shower... and Other Employees Invest My Money and Figure Out My Taxes... I Make Sure to NOT Give Them Any Advice...

I Take a Walk Around the Neighborhood Every Day. BUT... Not Very Far... Four City Blocks is The Maximum I Can Go... 

On Rare Occasions I Go to The Doctor or the Dentist and I Travel using UBER or LYFT. I Don't Own a Car or a Driver's License. I Receive Junk Mail from Corporations trying to sell me Car Insurance... NO SALE... and I Laugh at The TV Advertisements... 4Q Liberty Mutual... I'm not Buying Nothing From Any of You... and I'm Not Buying a Car, Truck, Van or RV...

Asimov's Psychohistory. Predicting the Future Using Math. The Foundation Trilogy. Wikipedia. NOVA TV Show - We Have People With Computers Gambling on the Stock Market Right Now!

The Plot of the Foundation Trilogy is Based on PsychohistoryHari Seldon Predicted the Collapse of the Galactic Empire. His Plan was to Collect all Knowledge in an Encyclopedia So That Humanity Could Easily Rebuild Society. IMHO: Wikipedia is That Encyclopedia. First, There are the Articles in Wiki that Explain Every Topic, Simply ... and Then at the Bottom of the Page are Links for The SOURCE Material That the Article Was Based Upon. Magazine Articles, Scientific Journals, Books, Websites and The Location (URL) of Every Other Original Content on the Internet.

Weather? They are Pretty Accurate about Predicting the Weather for about a Week... Beyond That? Not So Good. General Trends Like Global Warming and Climate Change are... Turning Out To Be Accurate... OH NO! Massive Forest Fires Coming This Summer (2021) in the Western USA...

Psychohistory is a fictional science in Isaac Asimov's Foundation universe which combines historysociology, and mathematical statistics to make general predictions about the future behavior of very large groups of people, such as the Galactic Empire. It was first introduced in the four short stories (1942–1944) which would later be collected as the 1951 novel Foundation.

The Madaket was a ferry boat that retired when they built the bridge to Samoa... Now it has narrated cruises exploring Humboldt Bay... The captain tells us the history of what we see.


Scenes photographed from the boat...


We discovered a "secret" beach in Fairhaven that no one ever goes to on a boatride. As we passed Fairhaven on the North Jetty, I saw the beach and a road... later I looked it up on Google Maps and figured out how to get there. We were all alone except for a man in a kayak cruising by.

Lockheed Martin Wins $3.7 Billion Missile Contract... Not Only is This a Colossal Waste of Taxpayer Dollars... It Also Wastes Engineers Time and Talent That COULD BE USED to Do Something Useful. Imagine What Could Be Invented if Laugh Head Wasn't Throwing Away Those People's Lives... Better Electric Cars, Solar Energy, Wind Power, Advanced Computers, a Manned Mission to Mars, A Telescope on the Moon... It's Criminal that Our Priorities are INSANE...

Lockheed Martin, together with partner, Aerojet Rocketdyne, has been selected by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to develop the Next Generation Interceptor missile defense system.

Lockheed Martin’s (LMT) vice president of Next Generation Interceptor Program, Sarah Reeves said, “We are excited and proud the MDA entrusted Lockheed Martin to lead the development of this game-changing system that will greatly improve our nation’s security for decades to come.”

Reeves further added, “We have been working toward supporting never-fail missions such as NGI for decades, and our team has the expertise and shared vision required to deliver on the MDA’s need to evolve GMD.”

I Have Not Gotten That "REAL ID" Card From The State of California. Supposedly We Will Need That IF We Want To Fly In An Airplane. Have to Get It Done By October. It Requires a Birth Certificate, a Social Security Card and Two Documents Like a Utility Bill or Rental Agreement... and THAT Costs About $50.00 - Clearly, A Waste of Money. I Question IF We Will Still Need To GET "REAL ID from the California DMV?" The Goal Was to Harass Illegal Aliens... and... Since Trump Lost... Is Hate A Priority Anymore? Will Joe Biden Enforce This Law? I Hope Not... I Conversed With The DMV BOT and Got NO Answers to Any of my Questions...
