I wish Ohio would get some of the rain! My Mom said they're in a drought. This has been a very difficult cycle to predict but I'm still hoping for a strong finish. I think a whole lot of crypto influencers

They've been very similar to what I've experienced in Florida and the Caribbean! It's been as green as Ireland here this summer because of all the rain. The leaves are starting to fall though so, soon,

I'm hoping for that! It'll be a great finish to a very weird cycle.

She really enjoys socializing with the group. It sounds almost as if they've become teenagers again when they all get together. Thank you! It's a long shot to get chosen for tickets but it would be fun

Not too bad. I was more afraid of the other drivers than I was the rain. 😊

I have no doubt! Almost every seasoned traveler I've ever met has told me two places have impacted them the most are Italy and Japan. I can't wait to experience them both.

It's a little like standing under a waterfall. We were driving in it yesterday and almost had to pull off the road a few times because the windshield wipers were nearly useless.

The beauty there is absolutely breathtaking. The landscape reminds me a little of the high desert in Arizona. I'm sure it's comforting having a pup there by your side. She's a cutie.

This looks like an incredible trip and gelato could only make the entire experience better! I really hope to get to Italy someday. Enjoy the rest of your time there!

It's going to be a very different world to be sure! Even when I'm "elderly" in 20-30 years society will be drastically different from ours today. It won't be all bad.

Those were the days! Just thinking about them make me smile. When I hear stories like that I have to pinch myself. It's very flattering that you connected with something I wrote so deeply that you shared

She's one of the greats, for sure! Those who've experience both worlds, the modern and new have a great responsibility. It’s like we’re bilingual. Maybe the challenge is to keep anchoring AI’s outputs

There is this indescribable magic spark in certain creative works that I'd hope AI will have a difficult time replicating. The spark is almost like a glimpse into a different realm. As a writer, tapping

Oh yes! Laziness comes into play. Sometimes I question whether or not laziness has driven a lot of our evolution. We're always seeking ways to make difficult things easier. No, you're not out of touch

There are SO many questions and it's frustrating because all we can really do is guess about what the future will actually be like. I think there will still be good and bad like the world is today but

Thank you my friend! I hope you enjoyed this one.

Thank you! Yes, we're naive to so readily accept and rely on this tech but I think mobile phones were the gateway that made this acceptance of AI possible. The AI companies are following the business models

That song brings back some memories!

Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm glad you connected with it! My first computer was similar to the one you describe. It was a Tandy (Radio Shack) from the early 1980's. It had the memory cartridge as well.

You're welcome! Thanks for the comment. We live in a very interesting timeline. I remember thinking how lucky people who were born in the beginning of the twentieth century were to have witnessed so much
