What August 2024 Means to me

August was nice and warm most of the time. Although google released their ai app earlier in the year, it wasn't until August that they tried to promote 'gemini' more, the community were more confident with it. I talk to machines every day but this app can sustain a persistent conversation. I can literally have a debate about the storyline and mysteries of a movie, I can have all sorts of conversations with my smart phone. Machines can let us down and they can be our friends. I was playing Zelda on my Nintendo; it is so nice to be engrossed in a computer game you like for a while; comfort from a machine, a good distraction for a mind that can overthink. 

The hamas and Israel war escalated a lot, the Israelis were hitting hesbula and Hamas Targets outside their district in Iran. Their war is spreading east a bit. I hate all wars, this world is full of war. 

Two astronauts are trapped on the international space station because the Boeing star liner space capsule won't detatch from the portal, it is stuck. Astronauts have brave hearts, I wonder if the dinosaurs had hearts with four chambers like us. The human heart has an extra chamber so used blood is kept separate and sent straight to the lungs. This gives humans and mamals endurance. We can remove carbon dioxide from our blood more quickly and get more oxygen to our tissues than reptiles and amphibians. A human can run constantly for more than 10 kilometres, a lizard can't. 

I thank my wonderful extended family for hosting my stay. This is a public blog so I won't say anything else. I had a very nice holiday. 

One Third of May

We have passed through one third of May 2021 and are now in the Second third. 

The first third of may was all about falling rockets, global pestilence and voting Brits. 

We had a general election during the start of May, the political map of Britain shows that the Scots seem to value the EU more than the UK. Many English people in the North of England voted for the party that are center right and pro capitalist. The mayor of London remained in office. Little else has changed. 

We were facing falling rockets throughout the world, first China's space station delivery rocket lost control and fell back down to earth. Now SpaceX rocket seemed to be ready to deliver astronauts into deep space, I'm sure it doesn't explode shortly before or after landing for no apparent reason and the astronauts have nothing to worry about....😂. More recently, missiles were fired at Israeli towns by Hamas and many were shot down and missiles were fired back. Most of the Tension between Palestinians and Israelis is connected to Jerusalem. If Jerusalem is that Holy to them, then it shouldn't belonging to anyone, in my view holy cities should all be declared independent states like the Vatican in Rome. If a Jew or an Arab came into my home I would pour them a nice cup of coffee or tea and show them both a universal brotherhood I have for all people. 

The Covid19 virus is very much with us and new more deadly strains of the disease are emerging throughout the world, it is something to be worried about in my view. I hope that we can stop this disease soon. The pain and death it has caused to us all is beyond words.
