Transcendence Re-Imagined

Weirdly came across this video. Only 6 hours old. If they are telling you about it, the technology is already old. This is spiritual, and not in a good way. 


It reminded me of the movie Transcendence. If you haven't seen it, you really should. It could possibly be our future.

Beyond Brrr


I know I need to post more often, and not to be a big whiner, but this winter is really kicking my ass. After a month with no water it was finally on again. Then it was off, then it was on. It just won't stay above freezing long enough. Current status: off.

It snowed last Wednesday so I stayed home, but when I drove to work on Thursday, my heater in the car decided not to work and my fingers and toes were so cold I was worried about frostbite. It was actually painful. Thank God they warmed up once I got there.

Now we are expecting the Mother of All Snowstorms on Tuesday. It's supposed to be worse then the first one. Wonderful. A bunch of us were standing outside at work the other day. I was talking about all the weather warfare going on and our very young maintenance man said that of all the conspiracy theories out there, he couldn't buy into chemtrails. I pointed up to the sky and said, so you think that big X up there is a natural cloud formation? He shrugged and took a drink of his pop and I added, “Probably brought to you by Pfizer.” He laughed and choked on his Pepsi.

So welcome to Kansas. Where you are microwaved in the summer and geo-nucleated in the winter. I'm too old and tired for this.

Anyway, I hope you are doing well. Stay warm out there.

When I'm 64

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything for so long. After scrounging showers from various places and boiling water to wash dishes old school way, we finally have water again in our house. It was over a month (and $500 dollars later), but life can get back to normal. You really take for granted having running hot and cold water at your fingertips. Plus, we froze our asses off during that time. Thank God we had heat and never lost electricity.

We are still sad and shocked about the passing of my husband's dad, but life goes on. During this time, I turned 59. It made me think that I will be 64 when 2030 rolls around. Who knows what life in this country will look like then. But I just take it one day at a time, because the days are evil.

As far as the news, I stay away for the most part. I hear things of course. My co-workers told me about the crash in DC. Once I heard the mention of Runway 33, that was all I needed to know. Whether it was real or fake, or people really died, we will never know, but there are plenty of rabbit holes to go down if you want to waste your valuable time. That is how these things roll.

My boss was all excited when he heard that Trump was going to abolish the IRS. I told him that it was just giving candy to a child before you lure him into the white van. It went over his head. You all let me know when they stop stealing that federal tax money out of your paychecks and maybe I will believe it. There are worse things...

I'm halfway through listening to this live stream from Dayz of Noah while I try to catch up on all my water related cleaning projects. So far, he sees things like I do. Now is not the time to relax and think that Elon is somehow going to save the day. If you get a chance you should listen to his take on the things going on these days.


Hope you all are well. Take care out there.
