Born in Alaska in 1940’s. Been in many locations and many careers since. Live on my 36’ self built sailboat, currently in Mexico. Veteran.
No DM’s Please!
Trump says he will close the US-Mexico border first thing. Because he has said it so many times, and that he did it last time; I think he believes himself and isn’t lying like usual. I’m thinking I should return to my boat sooner than planned and rush knee replacement recovery a little.

I voted for JFK, my first presidential election. Of the several presidents since I submit Jinny Carter as the most likely to love BlueSky.
That said imho he is the one president who established a moral, ethical, and character standard which none others have yet met.

The Space Needle appears to have finally launched free of its tower where it has been waiting for its mission assignment since 1962!

Well I can’t express how happy I am to find an interesting and kind social space where everyone is tolerant if not supportive of others. 😇
Extremely refreshing in these troubled times.
Thanks all of you and keep welcoming all who stumble upon this space as I did❤️.

Well the truth is I was an adrenaline junky and the job list you requested is not even half complete. My life continued and my successful jobs in various careers continued as I keep smiling.
I hope whoever reads this that they and their children pursue their dreams & interest

Agreed that evolution has always been a slow process over very long time spans.
The internet broke that thinking process, and it has not slowed or stopped since. I’m curious and concerned that AI is to follow with uncontrolled growth!
Your thoughts?

I’m a Vietnam era vet and fully aware of the crazy threat of the maga hateful emptiness. Thank you for helping to keep us aware of their plans.

This conversation has certainly gained the interest of a lot of people! A few of which have pointed out Mark Cuban’s comment concerning “streaming…” while mine is concerning “internet and web pages” which are definitely not the same!

Thanks! Totally appropriate in the time of evil vs good. The flood tide of evil has overwhelmed the reason and sanity of a voting majority in many countries recently. Now to turn the tide asap to survive the perils of a changing climate.
