rlditmard,
Yes, I asked for it
It sounds like your story didn't start out easy, but you persevered and made the best of it. Family, 3 daughters to adore, taking care of everyone.
I feel like you are one of those persons that one can sit down with and have long conversations about the world, life, whatever else comes up.
I really like your philosophy about nature and hunting. It is exactly how I feel about it. Sometimes when you are out there, alone, in the presence of those amazing creatures, life suddenly becomes so clear and real. And beautiful. Those moments are priceless.
I'm very much pro hunting. Not a big fan of trophy hunting though, unless its done for population control (health) and such things. While I don't think I would be able to kill an animal, I respect the ones that do it and do it right. Use what they kill. Have respect for the creature and appreciative of the sacrifice.
Its interesting to see just how much of an impact music has in our life. Its able to change moods, to bring back memories or to take us places. I feel the same way about books. Its like getting transported to a different place and time.
The loss of Stephen Hawkins is a large one indeed. Such a brilliant mind he had. It is interesting that you brought up AI and what a scary prospect that can be. Recently I have begun to watch the "X-files". While watching the old seasons I got curious about the new ones (season 10 and 11) and started those as well
Just yesterday I watched Episode 7 of Season 11 (free on fox.com). The episode is called "Rm9sbG93ZXJz". It's one of those random episodes that really have nothing at all to do with the story line. Almost like a "stand alone" episode. It is all about Artificial Intelligence and automation. At first I was wondering just what I was watching, LOL. But as it went on, I became ever more uncomfortable thinking about how scary this really is. What is shown is not "utopian". We are already there. Its not science fiction. How easy it would be, to go all wrong. Very thought provoking and just a little scary the more one thinks about it..
Thank you for sharing
