I think I may have designed a process to scale wildfire management best-practices using this system.

If this works, we can share all best-practices to anyone around the world.

I just did my first successful API call to ChatGPT.
Not an easy journey.
Their online billing process is broken!

Oh boy...
Here it is.
AI in my OS.

Uh oh.
I'm updating Windows 11.
It could have an AI Copilot included.

What could possibly go wrong?

I believe the most merciful, and efficient, strategy to end the Russian war on Ukraine is to starve their supply by totally disrupting the supply lines.

Today's announcement that the US will provide ATACMS to Ukraine will enable that disruption.

Taking out the Kerch Bridge is the first step.

Disabling all train lines to the southern front is the next.

Disabling all Azov Sea ports is the next.

No munitions, no fighting, no death. Only retreat.

End it with a Russian-whimper.

So many communities are experiencing unbridled crime.

Kids are engaging in this too easily.

While I don't know what is the solution, I have this model for the problem:

1. A sense of a personal moral bearing keeps you in check
-- When that isn't in place--
2. A fear that your community or family will abandon you
-- When that isn't in place--
3. The Law

We're at the level of The Law for many.

We need to solve the problem all the way back to #1.

Big news at Sephora.
They are getting a new CEO.
A woman.
Super-great decision, too.

North Korea's GDP is beteen $12 and $40b.

Vermont is $34b and is the smallest of US states.

Russia is asking N. Korea for help.

I propose that all politicians be tested to ensure that they have the capacity for shame.
By the time you have no shame there is no self-regulation of abuse besides the law and the threat of violence.

I highly recommend Patland Winery.
Delicious syrah, rose and pinots.
If you are ever planning to visit Napa, let me know. They have a magical tasting venue and a stellar host.

I'm going to a BBQ tomorrow.
Lots of classmates from business school.
Lots of conservatives.
I'm planning to lob this idea into the conversation:
"Does America need a monarch?"

If you think we will have enough nursing homes for when you will need it.....

The new washing machine arrived.
Installation has been a pain.
Still working on it.
I'm taking a break until Sunday.

Got the rig updated with a new water pump and reservoir.
Also upgraded the RAM. Pretty colors now.
Time to get back to work.... Tomorrow.
Now it's martini time! 🍸

Russia is recruiting Cubans to fight in their war!?!?!?
NPR does qualify that this has not yet been independently confirmed.
Nevertheless, keep an eye out on this story.

Super Blue Moon over San Francisco last night.

Nice sunset in San Francisco.
