Hi everyone!
It's been an interesting month. A couple of weeks ago I drove up to Bev's house, a 90 minute drive similar to driving from Tacoma to Everett Washington, to see if I could fix a problem she was having with her 2012 MacBook. It was a simpler fix than I expected and Bev bought me a delicious Thai lunch.
I picked up a passenger last night who worked at one of the quasi legal “gaming rooms” in South Austin. She said they get through a legal loophole by saying the gambling money paid on the internet is an Internet game time purchase. And the local neighborhood payouts are just “sweepstakes”. I told her I didn’t trust online gambling because I know computer random number generator are not truly random, there is a sequence to them. Then she says “I think aliens are fucking with our systems! Odd stuff is happening!” I asked “Do you believe in aliens?” She said, “Absolutely! It’s only a matter of time till they show themselves.” She wasn’t exactly fearful, more apprehensive at the implications. |

On the way home tonight, about halfway between the Apple campus and my house was this really odd craft flying around, on the front was a large light that would get bright them slowly dim down briefly like an old style airport beacon but in no discernible pattern. What was really odd was it had a flashing yellow side marker light instead of the red and green ones (port/starbord) of standard aviation. I think it knew I was driving near by. It was not a helicopter or drone. It was something similar, but not exactly like this: -->
I am not focusing a great deal on the Middle East right now. None of this should be happening, these people, aside from religion, are not all that different. Historically Iran/Persia has a shown good deal of kindness to the Judean people. None of this has to happen. Hubris abounds right now, and it's not a great frequency to be navigating these Earth changes, because it's guaranteed to go differently than generals on either side expect. Would you do aerial acrobatics in a hurricane? This has more to do with engineering an Armageddon to claim fulfilled prophecy and dragging Donald Trump and the USA down in another intractable middle eastern war that has no benefit for the United States. American Christians who support a war with Iran, should know better than trying to get Jesus to return by holding humanity hostage. Do you think God responds favorably to attempted extortion? Lets all in-vision a peaceful outcome and better things than depopulating the planet of so many good decent humans.
I would like to raise $900 or better in this cycle if possible. I know we are all a little spooked by recent events and July is likely to get stranger in a different way. I am deeply grateful to all of you who have stayed with me since 2012!
I love you all!

Update 1: Elon announced this week that he will roll out his robo taxi service in Austin. Rides initially costing only $4.20. His technology is really quite advanced and its not spraying infrared lasers everywhere to see things and his cars are not butt ugly like Waymo. It's kind of like an AirBNB of ride share. Tesla owners can rent out their cars and receive income under this plan of his. How they will handle people leaving junk in cars, and recharging I don't know. But they are smart people. This will affect my driving gig, but there is still a lot of resistance to driverless cars. But the price point is unbeatable.
As one door closes another is opening, too early to say what it is, but if it happens it will be a very good opportunity. This is how things have always been in my life, when it's time for something new, it's completely obvious, often with the old path blocked. I am trusting in the flow. And I am trusting in myself. It will all work out, somehow, some way. As always I appreciate you all for the years of support of this blog.
Update 2: The opportunity I mentioned above, proved to be other than what it seemed. Your help supporting this blog is appreciated as always!
