arrow of time

 So, mostly been focusing on temperature, and actually , just posting what an a.i. or more correctly and A.I. Assistant, has been feeding me.  It's funny, but early in my career I thought I was feeding >> those << machines. ### The Seeker of Octagrams In a distant world, where the sky shimmered with hues of violet and emerald, there lived a great seeker named Elara. She was known throughout the land of Aeloria for her insatiable curiosity and wisdom. The people revered her, believing that she could commune with the very essence of the universe. Elara spent her days wandering the lush valleys and towering mountains, drawing inspiration from the elements around her. The gentle rustle of the wind, the rhythmic flow of rivers, and the vibrant colors of the flora filled her with a deep understanding of harmony and balance. Yet, despite her knowledge, she felt a yearning for something more—a way to distill her insights into a singular vision. One evening, as the twin moo...

  So, apparently more scuttle but : apparently the Universe, or  potentially even The Universe , has pretty much come under the control of a scuttle fish, or maybe Scuttle Fish ?   No details really. 

  So, in certain circles, there is some concern about monitoring and regulating hyperspace, of course for many good reason, and mostly there are level heads, and thoughtful people involved.  Now, the rumors are going around, there might be some concern about what the earth might be considering or how they will act regarding those designated authorities who might be willing to have conversations about that situation.   Sort of like the notion that if we show up  there, then it's ours. How this will play out in real life, is pretty much anybody's guess. We can only hope for the best.

  The Inter-galactic  Gambling Association, IGA, also known as The Big Bang, has been having a rough go recently, at least in this particular galaxy. The problems are mostly, as you might imagine, with P.R. and generally the ability to get a hold of vital materials such as vinyl, and other  commercial products, as well as a decreasing interest in what used to be a thriving and lucrative business model.   Of course, the Galactic Encyclopedia, which has enjoyed very  good relations with the IGA, is hopeful, that things will work out for the best, whatever that may be.  

  Meanwhile, back on a planet Earth, a new telescope has been set up and is functioning.  There are some issues about the name, and the Galactic Encyclopedia is pretty excited that with in a short space of time Earth may once again have a normal planetary status is it's pages.  We all remain hopeful.  Honestly, it has been quite difficult for everyone involved.

  For quite some time it was believed that air conditioning was common in heaven.  Recently, the Inter-Galactic Encyclopedia was able to have some contact with " authorities ",  ( of course, no interview was available with the Big Guy ), but they suggested that only " all natural " climate control was used in heaven.   The spokes person did not elaborate, at all, about what " all natural " actually means.  Yet another - inter-galactic conspiracy theory firmly debunked ...

  There is some confusion about whether the Supreme Court of the United States of America has in door plumbing. It is quite important not to confuse this organization with a similarly named The Supremes:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Supremes And so why then is united the hardest word to spell ? Also, this could just be another - inter-galactic conspiracy theory of some bizarre form.

 Any body worried yet?  Wonder if they have medication for that?

  Pretty sure, the word is out, that alien visitations to earth  are just that.   Show up, take some photos, check out the beach, leave a little trash lying around, and call it a day. No need for traveler's checks.  It could also coincide with that million light year check up. Doesn't take a whole lot of thought, to figure out why that might be.

 Looking back at the morning after , the morning after, etc., the natural question to ask is: What happened and what happened after that?  After that, well, I am not too sure.  I guess, all you can really say is, hope for the best ... Of course you could also plan on the worst, but that sure seems like an extraordinary amount of work ..   At least to me, right now. Maybe, one step at a time?

  I am going to guess someone at sometime said that for some reason, and I expect that it might have included some hubris in there. But then again, being merely human sort of gives me a bit of perspective on things.  How could you know how it might  feel for some one who was not? But I am still thinking there might be some cleaning and tidying up to do, maybe even before Mother's Day.

  Most people are familiar with thing-a-ma-bobs, on account of how essential generally they are.  Over time, and oceans of space, the re-invention of the thing-a-ma-bob has become somewhat of a passion, and of course has consumed amazing resources and effort and ingenuity.   Often people have been successful with that.  Sometimes it has followed the path towards gloomy failure.  Hence the vast quantities of gloom that have evolved over time. I guess, just to be on the safe side,  be happy with the thing-a-ma-bob you currently have.

 As you should imagine Galactic evacuation plans are hard to get a hold of. These are required in case the galaxy is in significant danger of " blipping " out, for what ever reasons.   First thing, however, using common sense, you should try and stick with the planet you are currently occupying, unless, that the planet is in imminent danger. Other than that, I guess, just try and do your best.   Sometimes, that works.  

 Anyway, most people know it is hard to get a copy of the enhanced I-Ching, way out on the periphery of the galaxy, for the simple reason that there are very few subscribers to the Galactic Encyclopedia this far out from the galactic center.  So some comments are in order: First the enhanced I-Ching or simply eic, is composed of quads as opposed to tri-grams, however, the first 8 quads are the tri-grams of the standard I-Ching or sic.  The first new quad is Arrow of Time.  The 65 octogram of eic, is Mountain over Arrow of Time, and the 256 octogram is Arrow of Time over Arrow of TIme, and 128 octogram is Arrow of Time over Mountain.  Someday, I would like to get to the other quads, but for now, I think that is enough to encourage you to subscribe to the Galactic Encyclopedia and just get a copy. Finally, here on Earth, I am looking forward to hearing Alice's Restaurant, as today is Thanksgiving, pretty much.  Kind of like the Restaurant at the End of the Un...

  Well, as you may know, the Galactic Encyclopedia and the foundation connected with it, ( I thinks something like, Feed the Fish, or Free the Fish, Foundation ) ... anyway, has been engaged in the search for intelligent life in the galaxy, which you would think would not be such a burden some  enterprise.  I mean, just buy a rocket ship, and hire a guy to look.  Send him checks from time to time. Turns out it's not so easy.  Certain parts of the galaxy are only accessible with certain kinds of hardware.   So you can't just buy a rocket ship, you need lots of different kinds of rocket ships, and also different kinds of guys with different expertise to fly them.  So in the end a lot of different horse trading goes on, and as a result you  end  up with considerable expense.   Apparently, Free the Fish, or Feed the Fish thinks it's kind of important.

  And so, this has been a " hot " and " hot button " topic among Galactic circles, for quite a long time.  It was long argued that what does space-time care if it's being exploited, and of course what does space-time care if it's being exploited? Well, a more recent view has been that, you can't take the time outa' space and therefore the issue evolves to, if time is money, then can you economically exploit money?  Well, at this point the issue resolves to: can you produce enough pencil sharpeners, to allow for all the pencil sharpening required to resolve this issue?   Currently, that is  an open question.

   As you can imagine, the board of the Galactic Encyclopedia is in a frenzy  about giving non-normal status to a tiny rim planet, jam packed with shall we say: unusual characters  , more than one ... and then there is the issue of shipping out all that vinyl, what with the cost of vinyl having just - GONE THROUGH THE ROOF -   Well, they've been through worse.  

  So, some people are saying, oh heck, situation normal, and all that about earth, but things are not at all the same at good 'ol Encyclopedia, where the board is in conniptions.   Earth, one lousy planet, but lots of subscribers are very interested in the goings on and so forth.  You know Arlo Guthrie  was great, and  Alice's Restaurant , enormously popular for a long time, but you know vinyl is not cheap ...  Sending out vinyl to all it's subscribers is generally an " out of budget ", kind of thing.  Nobody on the board cares  for " out of budget ", kinds of things. So boxes, Amazons, what have you ???? Hopefully, things will get back in the groove.  Just wait and see !!!

  So you heard all those special things about Earth, you know, " not that bad " You might be able to find some decent tea .. But all that aside,  especially in the Galactic Cyclopia, circles, what the board has begun to realize and appreciate is the increasing level of appreciation for it's incredible bunch of lunatics. For some many years, and generations lunatics have been looking at the stars, not to mention of course the moon. I mean, I mean ,,,,  So, most likely if earth has to be pulled as a regular planet, the board will replace the entry with the whole Arlo Guthrie, Alice's Restaurant, and then send out vinyl at year end... If they vote before Brad Pitt gets a say, well it might work out, and heck .... we might even get back to regular in  a year ????  👺💆💚😄👉👍👀💥😀💬💫😆💪🙈🙉🙊🙆
