"Well you can't really tell..."

 something afire in Los Algodones...maybe the trash dump?

this rather drastic looping in the sky may be the wind and a condensation trail...or not

I found this laying on top of the sand and rocks...I think it is a WWII jeep gas cap...or not

valentines day came and went without incident but the next night was Sunday and some jokers decided to launch fireworks over my truck while I slept...these clowns seek to defy the laws and flex their weenies as best they can...they are pissed off about the crack down on the lawbreaking which has been going on for years...loud is a bad choice for protesting...speaking of which I would like to try to do a reality check on the recent poor execution of a poor plan which resulted in the deaths of American citizens... according to what I have been reading for the last few years there are 12 million "undocumented" persons/aliens/workers/humans...whatever you like, in the USA...also the information I had been reading indicated the 8 million of these undocumented folks were from the republic of Mexico...I am very wary of most statistics I read because...how in the hell did they get these numbers anyhow!...so if these people are "without papers" (WOP)...AND someone with the proper authority says that they must be removed from the population it must be acknowledged that they ain't likely to leave of their own volition...SO...send in the HARD HITTERS...in a manner of speaking...according to the researchers...who may or may not be accurate...the vast majority of non-documented people do not break the law...EXCEPT FOR BEING ILLEGAL RESIDENTS!...so this is a dilemma...they are committing a crime but they are contributing something positive to society...THEY WORK!...I have visited other nations and they all have pretty strict laws pertaining to what non-citizens can and cannot do...anyhow, say what you will there will always un-documented workers and there will always be people willing to give them work and there will always be people who object to this...nevertheless use of deadly force will also have proponents and victims...thats about enough on that subject...

I watched some great YouTube lately... I don't want to give the impression that I am against...what for a lack of a better word I will call LOVE..."The AI generated intimacy crisis" by Bryony Cole...this is a 14 minute TED talk...and somewhat alarming to me...I talk to my phone when it says "HELLO MOTO"...I am afraid to piss it off...I say hello back...a very interesting interview with Peter Steinberger by Lex Fridman (#491) "Open Claw the viral AI that broke the internet". about three hours and 15 minutes...this is the most "Intimate" conversation I have yet heard about the actual "building" of a artificial intelligent "entity"...these guys talks about how programing well requires "love"...Mr. Steinberger is the proud father of OPEN-CLAW which is an open source AI which he recommends that people use with caution as it can "take over"...he describes many of the ways that this "program" has sort of become "self aware"...the whole interview is educational and helps to elucidate how the future is likely to be a lot different with these powerful computer programs running a larger and larger segment of society...I talk to the foxes, coyotes and ravens and prefer the living things to be fascinated with thank you very much...
