Tonight

 I worked from 2:45 PM to 7:45 PM.  I went in, and learned masks will be required of even the vaccinated.  This is an expected development.  Hence why I continued to wear my mask.  To social distance.  Eventually, a time will come when it will lo longer be time to wear a mask and social distance.  But right now, that is the way of things.  All I did today was gather carts, and sweep the side walk.  I need to get in there and start bagging.  After all, that is a part of my job.  I helped a couple customers with groceries though.  

I just took out the garbage.  Garbage here on my street is Tuesday, and Friday.  That means setting out the trash on Monday Night and Thursday night.  Also, on Thursday night the recycle goes out as well.  Not to interesting.  But it does set myself a good reminder.

What is interesting is that my brother William handed me a copy of Mapping America: Exploring the Continent.  I had heard of this book in school.  It is a much needed addition to my list of history and geography books.  Thanks Mom!  Mom says she thought I would enjoy it.    The first chapter is marked, "America-- the future of mapping since 1507" by Frank Jacobs.  The introduction delves into Lester John, terra incognita, and Marco Polo.  Then, goes into describe how Columbus landed on an unknown continent.  That the European empires were taken by surprise by the discovery, in such, that they rapidly hired soldiers, explorers, and mapmakers to help forge their empires and as the book said, "close the vacuum".  

Cover of Mapping of America
I am so glad to add this volume to my collection of History, Geography, and Geology books.  Thanks again Mom!  I am glad Amazon had a picture of the cover of the book.  Having an image to post makes sharing my blog much easier.  It probably makes reading my blog more enjoyable.  

I checked on Yahoo.  Not much of interest on there.  The free news source is letting me down.  Well, thats ok, I can pick back up with Yahoo tomorrow.  I did see one news story claim that Conservatives in Florida are rushing to get the COVID-19 vaccine.  Other than that, it looks like Yahoo is safe for another day.  Well, time for me to log off for a while.  Hope you have had a good day.

Completing This Post

 I saw this unfinished post from October 30, 2024.  So, I decided to finish it.  I cannot remember what it was going to be about!  So, I will do my best, to put a complete thought.  I am at work right now, too!  Maybe I should not be posting- oh, well. I am not even sure how to share an image here!  But maybe that is ok.  Normally, on this blog I share an image, or a video, or music.  Mostly from YouTube, because I like the platform and have supported it in the past.  But now it is not allowing me to share here, from YouTube.   Anyways, I am sitting in my car.  All day it's been raining off and on.  I guess there is flooding at this time in part of Texas known as "The Hill" Country.  At a camp, some girls were killed in the flooding!  They have received historic amounts of water. I have been researching about something known as "Epic City", it is a "Master planned" city, with Sharia Law at its root!  Sh...

In the Last Days Jesus Said: 'No Flesh Would be Saved'.... But Why?

This video is over a week old, but it is under 20 minutes long.  About Artificial Intelligence and something else- Transhumanism. Be aware of what is out there.  Don't be a sheep.  "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples" (John 8:31). This video is a brief disection of different sources on AI, and Transhumanism.  In it, the author "Watchman" contrasts it with Frankenstein.  Meanwhile, Watchman takes a look at the scripture in Luke, where Jesus describes the "End Times".  The shortening of the days, for the elect's sake.  This video will give you a "big picture" understanding of what is involved in Transhumanism in a way that you have not viewed it yet.  It is good, and as I said brief.  Grab some popcorn, sit back, and prepare to be informed.

Ukraine Invasion Continues

 Earlier this week Russia began invading the Ukraine.  Now, that invasion continues.  This video  shows footage of supposedly Russian forces firing, near Kharkov. The city is located in Eastern Ukraine.  I heard another say that Russian forces are nearing Kiev.  In the article,  The explosions were seen near Kharkiv, Ukraine, a city with a population of roughly 1.4 million nested near the eastern border and approximately 300 miles from the capital city of Kyiv, Ukraine This just shows how quickly the Russians moved.  Are we going to respond?  I don't think we can.  Ukraine is not a NATO nation.  The Russian President warned everyone about interfering, and said  attempt to intervene would lead to "consequences they have never seen." Putin did not specify what his threat meant.  But I expect most people understand, that this could be nuclear.  Supposedly, Russia and China have entered into a new partnership.  Just ...
