  • Artillery is discussed in this episode. Disclaimer - violence is not okay, do not use artillery to harm others.

    ---

    100, 200 yards. Analyzing things from the shooter's perspective. While hard to discuss, I break down mechanically what basic tools it takes to line a long distance target. How my Buddhism changed my actions with artillery. Last, the premonition on the former guy's recent event, with detail this time. It upset me to share, 2 years ago so I didn’t. And now that it’s happened, I’ll describe the premonition, and how much it matched the event.

  • Recording an episode from my cell phone, because the temperature outside is too hot for my PC, figured I'd share a song that helps me be present sometimes. Especially when I'd rather focus on other things yeah?

  • The present news take a toll on spirit. Leaning back, a memory of Elmer, helps. Finding life in a small dusty Arizona town. How one particular smile offered, changed my life.

Recent new science in AI tech, finds groundbreaking new data, literally, of philosopher Plato's last days. We've never heard any of this, burnt and buried in Herculaneum, 79 A.D. He had a few strong opinions, and his reported last words were... common. Hmm.
