My View of the Universe

I was so amazed at how many people live in Bangladesh that I had to create my own graphic. They're booming right now, but the poverty is astronomical. I'd bet those people need a lot more than prayers.

You guys went full tilt on turning the world upside down with Windows 11. You removed the words Cut, Copy and Paste from the right-click context menu!!!!! What is wrong with you? Do you know how complicated it is for a support tech to describe an icon to a user to click on, on the other side of the phone? You guys are certified nuts. I thought Windows ME was bad but this is nightmarish. You just added a minimal of 10 mins to 30 mins to every tech call. I'll repeat what I said in my last two posts. "If you want to modify/redesign the scheme, flow, layout of software, you need to make an option for "Advanced Users" to turn on and off." You don't just redesign screens and turn the world of novice users upside down. Whoever heads this team is a total geek and doesn't realize that they're NOT developing for "geeks"...90% of people that use computers are not geeks and they most likely have no interest in using a computer, so it needs to be as simple as possible. Words are easy to read, icons mean nothing to most people. Only geeks recognize icons and know keyboard shortcuts. Novice users read everything like they do a menu. Cut means Cut. An icon(picture) is worth a thousand words and can mean anything to anyone. At least you guys are consistent, consistent at screwing things up. Keep up the terrible work and keep hindering the progress of mankind every time you come out with a new release. Right on....I should be in charge of Windows development. I'll streamline everything for Novice users, cutting tech call times in half, opening the flood gates for humanity to finally move forward...and I'll have an option for Advanced Users to turn on the Aero theme....You forced Aero on my grandmother and she was like "What am I looking at?" Thank the Universe that you had an option to turn it off, but it should've been off to begin with. Have a great week. Fire that Windows Chief whoever he is, he's causing global warming!

my comment on the video I'm extremely happy being weird. My mother never taught me good social skills. It definitely caused me to be left out of groups, gatherings, family events and many other things in life. But this is my life. I'm not perfect and I don't know anyone who is. I know an awful lot of "cool" people that everyone looks up to, whose lives are in complete chaos. I'll stick to being weird, and silly and goofy and enjoying life. I can be serious when needed, but that whole persona is just a facade. I want to be a comfortable me, a happy me. Inside, the "cool" people or "mature" or "professional" people are just like us weird people, but they just don't let it come out. They're able to somehow stay in character all the time. And that is actually what interests me the most. The guy in the video is definitely "himself" and he never waivers. What I wonder is, does he have to work on that every minute of the day? or does it come naturally? Don't you want to laugh in the mirror every now and then? or watch an ant on his travels? or watch the breeze blow through the trees? I like to stare at the Moon, especially with binoculars. I don't know if that's weird or normal. Doing it seems fine, but talking about that is definitely weird. Small talk is an art, if you can master that, you can rule the world. I know many people who ever graduated high school and they are multi-millionaires. They know the art of conversation, and they make people comfortable when they're around them. And people then trust them, and that leads to all kinds of good things in life. Regarding space: I social distance ever since 2020 and I will for the rest of my life. There's a new disease out there and regardless if you're vaccinated or not the virus eats at your organs and if you have any propensity for a disease, then Covid will exacerbate it and it will affect you earlier in life than you expected. The vaccine only helps prevent outside symptoms, it doesn't prevent the virus from attacking your organs and your brain. You don't want Covid under any circumstances. Regarding hygiene: You have poppy seeds in your teeth or something unsightly. You broke your own rule. Regarding space again: You're face is in my face, you're a close talker which means you're a Covid spreader. You need to back off slightly. ....it was an okay video, but biased towards being "cool" and "mature" and "acceptable".....weird and somewhat awkward are fine, it's crazy that we're trying to avoid. most crazy people have guns or are inclined towards violence...I think you're showering those people with platitudes and not addressing the situation, I guess you're calling those people weird? They're crazy bro. I think you mixed it all up now. You don't want to teach those people how to be socially acceptable, then we'll never know who the crazies are. You should redo this video...hmm but then you wouldn't be able to allow the crazy people to see it. They'll learn all the secrets and infiltrate from the inside.....we have a conundrum here, the cool people are just ignoring it because they're cool and they're having too much fun in life, the weird people know it's out there and are terrified of it, and the crazies are preying on all of us at the same time....a quandary indeed Dr. Watson, it's quite an enigma. Stay safe out there, I love you nuts

A police officer had the opportunity to shoot the Uvalde school shooter, but he had to call in to ask permission. A few weeks later Jaylen Walker was shot over 60 times by a gang of police officers as he ran away unarmed. The police force needs a major overhaul that will never happen. We need a different solution. The men in blue are determined to shoot to kill on a whim...how do we fix that?

We're going to the 150th British Open at St. Andrews!

I think the "meaning" of life can be debated, but when it comes to the question "what is the purpose of life" ...IMO the purpose of life is to experience it. That's about it. The experience of every human has always been unique and always will be. George's life was an amazing experience. Not all of us will reach George's level of joy and success in life, but we will each have our "own experience" like no other life that came before or will come after. You only get one chance at this amusement park. Some people will be happy living on Main Street, others want to visit Frontier land, Tomorrow land, Adventure land and Fantasy land. It's purely your choice. So go out and experience life, and if you choose, experience it to the fullest, find meaning, find beauty, make a difference and change another life so that they may also have the opportunity to experience life to the fullest.

Regarding people shouting about racism....then why is it being posted here in this forum? I don't think racists (poor boys or whatever they're called) are in this forum. Why not engage with them in their arena instead of on my FB page? People are just shouting like 14 yr old girls on their first menstrual cycle...we don't need that here. This is supposed to be a happy place. (And I will agree that people have a right to spew out all the vitriol they want to make themselves feel like they're better than other people...but it's just getting tiresome and it's losing its theme) I'm pretty sure nobody is rooting for racism to win...I think that's a universal concept. I don't need to see posts about it everywhere. We already got the message here.

There is no solution. There are too many people and too many people leads to unabated corruption. With this many people in the country there will always be corruption. Look at Venezuela and Socialism...the corruption at the top takes all the money. Look back at the days Communism in Russia, the corruption at the top took all the money. Look at Communism in China, the corruption at the top takes all the money. Look at America, the corruption at the top takes all the money. Corruption is an unstoppable force and is the only issue on the docket that needs to be addressed. But the people that are addressing it (Law Enforcement) are themselves corrupt. So I don't see that there will ever be a system that works for everyone and keeps us on an even playing field. I guess you'd have to start with raising an entire population of trustworthy people in order to to have Order. If a majority of the people lack integrity, then corruption is always one step ahead. Corruption always wins in the end. So in the end it's survival of the fittest...get what you can out of life, as best you can, keeping your own integrity intact. (but of course there's millions of people out there that will never follow that concept, leading us back to corruption)...as Richie Cunningham once said "Ya know...Life is tough"....although Singapore seems to have some good stuff going on over there, I don't know how they do it. I guess it's that small population, about the same as Alabama...5 million

Whatever happened to that story I saw on the nightly news here in South Florida where the Port of Miami Security found a pallet of 100,000 fake voter ID's in late October 2020? Where were they being delivered to? Whose address was on that shipment? Whose names were on those ID's? Oh yeah they squashed that story as soon as it came out, they didn't want the public to know about it right? Can we get one good investigative reporter to find out where those ID's went? We just need one guy. Isn't there anyone out there with integrity anymore? .....guess I just answered my own question

I'm going and that's that....

In 2019 on Friday of the Masters I bought a Sunday ticket, drove 300 miles and saw Tiger Woods win the Masters. This weekend with Pikes Peak bike tours was even better. I've been wanting to do the Pikes Peak downhill bike ride since I heard about 20 years ago. We're from Florida but Arnie spent a couple decades in Denver. I came up with the idea on Thursday(3 days ago) I checked the weather, a perfect 84 degrees, and September is always the best month to travel with minimal crowds being kids are back in school. I Googled "biking Pikes Peak" and chose Pike Peak bike tours because of the name alone. Saw the Pikes Peak downhill excursion then browsed the other trail packages and came up with a plan. I messaged Arnie "Let's fly to Colorado Springs tomorrow and bike Pikes Peak" He called and said "What did you just say? Talk to me" I told him the plan and he said "I'm in!"

The worlds tallest tree, the giant sequoia they call General Sherman is being wrapped in tin foil in an attempt to save it from the California wildfires. If that forest burns, many tears will be shed. It's as if the recent joy ride to space had to have an equal and opposite event to offset it. This not something I ever would've wanted to live thru(including a pandemic) but this is where man has taken us...the new millennium and century that started with the year 2000 is turning into a very unpleasant Era...we're just mowing down this planet but she's coming for us, and she's coming hard. Such a long road ahead with this virus. We are living through the most historic of times with so much more popcorn ahead. Every day is unbelievable and has been since the mid 2000s. India tsunami, Haiti earthquake, Gulf oil spill Deepwater Horizon, Japan tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Maria, Super Typhoon Yolanda, wild fires burning towns one by one...and so much more on top all that, and now a pandemic? I don't know about you, but I think we should all be praying our asses off. 🙏
