5 + 11 = 16

Very cool numerical sequence with regard to today's date. However, moving forward I am behind and must make up for some lost time. AND as is often the case, I haven’t even a clue for an image.

So what gives? Well, for starters, this is like my ‘new’ day schedule/routine structure working at the orange box. More later. Perhaps next entry ?

Filed under Journey to the Absurd: This today. Wearables helping dairy farmers … (the dairy COWS are wearing them.)

Not an intended use but as former M-i-L used to say, ‘Oh well.’

NEWSFLASH: The internet is no longer being used for what IT was intended for. It happens ALL the time. Now cows + Wearables = WHAT next ?

Driverless cars + texting while driving = WHAT next ?

PLEASE just count me out on such ‘progress’.

Promised Preliminary Book Report from previous entry. The similarities between the United States two-hundred (200) years ago and today are striking. There is political bickering, a Congress that is doing ‘nothing’, banks collapsing and international disagreements & wars. Only the names & methods have changed. Andrew Jackson was notorious for getting into fist fights & duels. OH BOY !

So today's image is a young, flattering painting of Young Hickory before he was 'Old' Hickory. Kind of resembles James Woods.

There is of course no media to hype & spin it all up and further, probably for the better, less media is a reason for getting thru that tumultuous period. Andrew Jackson & his forces were driving the Indians (Native Americans, NOT the punjabis), west of the Mississippi River in brutal fashion. I find this pales by today's standards for instance & the BIG pending discussion for a decision on where one should pee.

Talk about atrocities. Body counts in one massacre were done by counting the removed tips of noses of dead Indians. One per. I mused why not take testicles and then divide by two (2) ? Well, you might have a Lance Armstrong in there.

That’s all for now.
