Only 23 days until 2022 has bitten the dust. Seems like it just began. It’s been 22 years since the new millennium started. Remember how we talked about Y2K and worried that computers were going to bite the dust at midnight on New Year’s Eve? Maybe what’s happened since September 11, 2001 has been a Y2K directed by the Devil. Our world has changed considerably. Over the passage of centuries, many have seen their world change. When the Norsemen invaded England, lives changed or ended in seconds. The Crusades were a bit of dreadful history. The Holocaust. The Inquisition. Genghis Khan. Ach du lieber! What will our world be like in December 2023? No point in worrying about that one. All we can do is the best we can, in each 24 hours we’re granted.

Oxford University scientists say intelligent life is unlikely to exist anywhere else in the universe because it took a set of miracles for humans to evolve. These scientists are making the assumption that we are intelligent. Maybe we’ve been watched from other forms of life for thousands of years and we are the zoo. We’re supposedly out of the dark ages, but still use the wheel as our main mode of transportation. If we haven’t blown ourselves up in 1,000 years, maybe we can be classified as “intelligent.” This just came to mind. Albert Einstein said “God does not play dice. There was the intelligence of a maker in each evolutionary transition.” Ah, this old universe is full of mysteries.

Let’s get back to Earth. Elon Musk says Twitter was acting on orders to suppress the Hunter Biden story and its possible connection to the ‘Big Guy.” UNBELIEVABLE! Media outlets trampling our First Amendment, the one that differentiates the U.S.A. from Communist China, North Korea and Russia. This is what insurrection looks like. You have to wonder about Hunter. Who allows pictures to be taken while smoking crack and puts them on a laptop?
Then again, President Biden says Hunter is the smartest person he knows.

Time to depart this desk and see what’s for lunch. Have a….well, I don’t know. Have the kind of day you’ve already dreamed about. How about that old buddy?
