How are you all doing? I found another one of those videos for you that you may like. Or maybe not. You can watch it below in the YouTube player, just click on the blue dot. It is a video of a Japanese man going over a 60 Km distance in a human powered plane. This kind of story beats the stories about nasty people I put on these pages. Below this you will see the aircraft with about 30 people who worked towards a common goal. That goal was to beat a record and work together to accomplish this task. Beats the task Putin and his ilk are trying to accomplish.
Here is something else for you to ponder. Looking at the Japanese students of Tohoku University I thought of how we dropped two nukes on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The students look like a fun group working together on a project. Now Japan is an ally. I put a question to Google and asked why did Japan enter WW2? I already knew the answer but I will cut and copy one of the responses.
The United States also had an obvious interest in these natural resources, and in response to to the Japanese aggression, the U.S. Congress placed restrictions on doing business with Japan. And, if that weren’t enough, Japanese assets in the United States were frozen.
Now about 83 years later we have that self confessed, very smart 47 president of the United States wanting to do the same thing. Tariffs are nothing but restriction on the Chinese to do business. I am sure that if we all sat down and have a reasonable discussion, without that genius, the problem could be solved. Just something to think about and how we make the same mistakes many times over.

I will leave this invitational email with some pictures of my favourite birds. Two eagles in a tree and one heron in a tree. Better then all the negative stuff.
I have been working on another computer upgrading to win 11. This one was taking so long that I thought that it had crashed a couple of times. This is the most used computer I have and it is getting older. But I thought, why not. So far is seems to be working just fine. Especially after I installed the "Revo Uninstaller". This is a bit of software that I use to get rid of all the useless software, or bloat ware as some will call it, that windows installs with the operating system. I am really getting to like Linux. The more I work with upgrading windows the more I like anything but windows. I actually started all this upgrading just to get rid of the annoying windows that pop up telling me my PC should be upgraded to win 11 before October 14, 2025. Then when you try you get the word that your computer is actually too old and you should upgrade. According to some internet aficionados that means about 254 million PC will go to the landfill. Well, not mine. Either windows works or it will be come a Linux computer. Personally I think Microsoft is missing the bus on this. Next I will be trying a new version of the windows explorer. That is the app that you will use mostly to find and operate your software. But the new version has an added bit of kit that will let Microsoft see and record everything that you do on your computer. So I will see if I can find a new non Microsoft version of the windows explorer.
