| Hello jfred.  I'm passing by.  4 years since you were spotted.  Schroedinger's cat comes to mind.  Which are you?   Hello to Drygulch Dan and other passers by too.  Even epicure!   And in remembrance and honour of Penni and the good old days - heck, now 27 years ago.  Another 27 and I'll be, let's see,  only 101.  Doable.  Record setting, but doable. 
 So much imagined back then for the mobile Cyberspace realm has come to pass.  Even It is discussed as a serious thing, now referred to as AI.  It's now considered so real as to be a threat.  Move over Luddites,  It's coming through.
 
 It's ability and power of apostrophe's is unparalleled.  People will have to tow the line.  Voila, viola's will return to being musical instruments.  I could care less.  The proof of AI is in the pudding.  And the future is nigh.  Hopefully crazed Yanks,  Boris/Rishi/Liz, Ursula, Herr Gruppenfuhrer Stoltenberg, Annalena and the 4th Reich Barbarossa II march to Moscow is less tragic than efforts such as the 1812 Overture,  Charge of the Light Brigade, WWI War to End Wars and Barbarossa I in bygone times.  But with umpty gigatons of fission and fusion obliterating most of USA and Eurostan, and a lot more besides,  it will be in the record books. Or in the fossil record in the absence of books.
 
 Here's a suggestion = Americans and Eurostan,  have a nice cup of tea and a lie down.  Then arrange a few little countries in eastern Ukraine,  with voting which is considered good enough for Brexit England,  Scottish independence, and Ireland,  and Canada, and Quebec.   Accept that Crimea is still part of Russia as it has been for hundreds of years.  And we can all live happily ever after.  For some psychopath reason, voting isn't good enough for eastern Ukrainians according to USA, England, 4th Reich, etc, though it's okay in what was Yugoslavia and everywhere else.
 
 Tell Victoria Nuland she's fired and to get a real job.  Cancel Obama's Nobel Peace Prize as he started it, and a lot more besides.
