Going to visit my Grandmother in the hospital again. This is probably the last time I get to visit her while she is still breathing. My stepmom said she was told it could be a week to a month left for her. Her mental health is not good at all. She might not know if l'm there or even recognize me.
So tomorrow I will drive around four to five hours to visit her. I hope she is not totally out of it and has a good time while I'm there. If not I will have a few Kleenex tissues on standby.

Janne "Loffe" Carlsson has left us:(
Carlsson was among many other things also a skilled drummer, featured on several albums in Swedish 1970s and 1980s music.
He was the 'Karlsson' of the Swedish jazz fusion/psychedelic rock duo Hansson & Karlsson that were active in the late 1960s, and performed together with musicians such as Dexter Gordon, Johnny Griffin and Jimi Hendrix.[4]
Hansson and Carlsson played a few times with Jimi Hendrix in Stockholm, and Hendrix recorded the Hansson & Karlsson piece "Tax Free".

Hmmm. Strange that the song "Tax Free" written by Bo Hansson and Janne Carlsson is so well protected.
Maybe this short cut will work.

The Pacific Northwest is on Fire!
While everyone is watching the flooding in Texas no one has noticed the over 1,340 files in the northwest. Bring some of that water over this way please.

I think I'm going on a steam boat excursion, Sunday, through the river locks here in Louisville. It will be interesting to see how it works.

Yikes. I've been avoiding the news lately, but I don't think I would have missed that.

Looks like we may have found something, Science Alert.

In the early hours of Saturday morning, researchers searching the Universe for signs of alien life detected 15 explosive radio signals in the space of just five hours, all coming from a tiny galaxy 3 billion light-years away.

It's the same galaxy we've received repeated signals from in the past, but the blasts, known as 'fast radio bursts' have never been as frequent as these latest discoveries, causing the team to ask other scientists to tune in and help figure out what the hell's causing them.

"Bursts from this source have never been seen at this high a frequency," said Andrew Siemion, director of Breakthrough Listen, an initiative based the University of California, Berkeley, which detected the signals.

Well NASA or someone had better start the Warp Drive project, though 3 Billion Light Years, that would take a long time to reach, how long?

I don't know.

Voyager's rated top speed was warp 9.975. The Technical Manual for that show said this was 3053 times the speed of light. So even if she could go that speed indefinitely (which she couldn't), it would take close to a million years to get there.

This warp drive, not the fictional stuff...

That talks about going 10 times the speed of light, which only knocks the time to reach this radio source down to 300 million years.

Babylon 5 was situated in politically neutral space: in orbit around Epsilon III.

But about Babylon 4? The most powerful station ever constructed by human hands at the time, Babylon 4 also possessed engines that allowed the station to be moved from place to place, although this was a very slow process due to its size.

Let's not forget the BS they used to reduce the apparent mass of DS9 to move it to the mouth of the wormhole.

In this age of PC-ism. Had to laugh.
Was reading a story about the arrest of a burglar caught in the act.
He was, according to the story.................
"arrested via the use of an electronic control device, commonly known as a Taser."

Gee, and I thought electronic control devices were called 'remote controls'.

Meow.
