TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡


Land of Whispering Pines 🌲


Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏


Well, it is a bit cool outside in my Green Space this morning, but it's still a beautiful sunrise 🌄, and even a few birds 🦜 are singing in the trees 🌳 across the driveway. It's always serene here at this time of the morning. I guess that's why I like getting up with the sun.


Getting up early is OK, I don't mind, as long as I don't have to go anywhere. 🏃‍♀️ I like to have the entire morning to myself to get my butt in gear for the afternoon if I am going out. So I don't mind getting up early as long as I don't have to get dressed for a rescue mission at the job, err! "Don't forget the cape!" Or something like that. 🦸‍♀️


My partner was up for a bit. I had a mix-up with the morning dum-dum pills my not-yet-awake brain couldn't make sense of. "Aaargh! I hate depending on anything, especially pills." Anyway, that's done and in the past. I have always had a short-term memory problem with the little stuff. I think I may have actually started making mental notes by association, looking before I leap, and resuming paper notes for myself, like I used to before my partner, to remind me. Now, the problem with old age, added to that factor, is that I twitch in my clothes instead of taking action when I should. Then whatever was in my mind suddenly sublimates, and I just stand there, twitch in my clothes, and let the bus run me over.


I have to learn to premeditate each move before executing it, to avoid knocking stuff over, because my eye-hand coordination isn't working that well anymore. So I have to slow down the psychological to connect with the physical. In my case, nothing is wrong with the computer; it's about coordinating all the data into single streaming channels, like a series of slow-motion movies, so that the physical conduits can keep up with the data stored in the Cerebral Cortex, the brain computer's memory banks. I'm using my own terminology.


TODAY'S DISCUSSION:


LIGHTBULB OF HOPE


At least at work, that's how I imagined it to make me feel like I was an essential piece in the machinery. I had to carry out all the orders from the hierarchy, or the big league, like the caddy carrying all the golf bags across the greens while the hierarchy rides in the golf cart. Eh! I was just the clamp holding the universal conduit coax cable to the junction box of the data transmitter to a photonic processing converter device. Anyway, that's in the past. I also had some fun with some jobs. I dreamed of working in a laboratory, so I sure would have liked to work with fiber optics for data transmission. I think about a lot of things other people don't, and 98% of the time, my instincts were right.


Even when I am absentmindedly splashing water around, making bubbles in the sink while washing dishes or in a clothes washer, or simply sitting there listening to the steady droning sound of machines, I begin to drift. Then I daydream about something, or if I am not experiencing any discomfort, my mind just fades into a place of peace. It's like napping but being aware of your surroundings. In the morning, if I am not painning, I still feel compelled or drawn towards something. That part of my inner self is still quite alive, like a moth's instinct of seeking the source of the light that it is drawn to. I haven't yet arrived at a point where I can see the lightbulb. I *feel* it, but can't see it.


BREAKING NEWS:


Israel says hostages will be released Monday as Trump set to depart for Middle East

FAQ: Why America just bailed out Argentina with a $20 billion lifeline

Washington

The Trump administration is bailing out Argentina in a move critics are saying has more to do with politics than economics or American interests.


That means $20 billion US taxpayer dollars will be used to bail out a country led by a close ally of President Donald Trump: chainsaw-wielding, libertarian Javier Milei. “Argentina faces a moment of acute illiquidity,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wrote on X Thursday. “The US Treasury is prepared, immediately, to take whatever exceptional measures are warranted to provide stability to markets.” ...

Canada eyes putting nuclear reactors on the moon

'Canada is ... really good at nuclear' says CEO of space mining company


The crew of Artemis II is set to blast off from Cape Canaveral, Fla., as early as February and head toward the moon, where they will swing around it and head home. It’s the first step in getting boots on the moon for the first time in more than 50 years.


This isn’t just about planting a flag and collecting some rocks, as it was during the space race in the 1960s. NASA’s ambitious Artemis program has the long-term goal of exploring the moon, with a continuous human presence. And from there, on to Mars. In order to maintain a presence on the moon, there’s going to be a need for energy. So how do you maintain a colony of people in a place that has roughly 14 days of sunlight followed by 14 days of darkness? ...

    Good afternoon, Everyone! Happy Thanksgiving Day to every Canadian reader!

    The Tree House News is loaded with provocative content, but today's news and comments have sparked my inner writer. I'll start with the end first: Charley Pride.

    Charley Pride was a baseball player in the Negro League during the 1950s. He was drafted into the Army and served as a quartermaster in Fort Collins, Colorado. He attempted to reenter baseball, but one of the minor league team owners heard him sing. What began as a local talent became a singer signed by RCA Records in 1966. His biggest hit is "Kiss An Angel Good Morning," released in 1971. He is the first African-American singer of Country Music.

    We are lost without the Lightbulb of Hope.

    There are at least two ways for me to view my life, and possibly more. I can see it as misery and drudgery as I count the days of my life until I am thoroughly disgusted by my existence. I have achieved nothing. Everyone except me gets promoted. All I hoped for has fallen apart. My life is a worthless stretch in hell on Earth, and hope is nothing. The other way is how I have seen life since I was 14. Life is the best game there is. Paul Simon's lyrics are my motto: "Life, I love you! Always groovy!" I read Rudyard Kipling's poem "If" in the seventh grade. It's good advice to me, so I remember most of it and reread it often. Except for two jobs, I've enjoyed every position in my thirty-year career because I saw myself as capable of making notable contributions as a team member.

    I am not prideful or arrogant. I never was, but I am self-confident. Admitting errors and seeking advice is wise, not a sign of weakness. And I pray a lot to the Higher Power of my personal understanding because without Her, I can do nothing.

    I hope my post has even a tiny nugget that's useful for someone. Whatever you can conceive, you can achieve. Thank you for hearing me out.
