Can this be true? Evidence, if any, please...

You are correct that the observer may, unavoidably, influence that which is being observed.

Wait two years. Then judge. Why are Americans so impatient? Is all America on Ritalin?

By the looks of the accompanying news image, he seems a slippery one.

Very depressing story.

Elon might just be going a bit "over the top" with his jokes. This last joke, similar tot he SINK joke at Twitter, sees my fellow-alum Elon wielding a chainsaw...complete with a large gold chain around his neck. I thought that gold chains went out of fashion, long ago. I every much enjoyed Musk's kitchen sink joke. However, I am not so sure about his gold jewelry. Is this over the top? I have my reservations about this. Yet, i will give him the benefit of the doubt, for now. I sometimes worry about those who gain instant power, suddenly and unexpectedly. Musk does best when he has a tech project to work on. Politics is a dirty business. I wish that Elon would stay away from politics. Just my humble two cents.

Dear Folks, I would be very much interested in knowing the state of your inner monologue. What do you typically discuss with yourself? Do you sometimes become annoyed at the inanity of it all? Are you able to turn it off, at will? Or, does your inner monologue sometimes become overwhelming? I am sure that having a good and healthy dialogue with oneself is necessary for many reasons. One of which might be planning one's next move. And, just so many other benefits of talking to oneself, you just cannot believe. What do you think might happen to you if your inner speech suddenly up and left you? Ever thought about it? Do you ever find yourself discussing bizarre topics? I do not. But, I imagine some of you might...or... Am I wrong? Let's all share how healthy we are. Best regards, Gamma

Most are Germans, as you probably know.

In fact, I have noticed a strange anomaly this year. Places which were experiencing heavy pollution, such as the SE of China, show up almost completely green now. And, Northern Thailand is almost the same, but not quite as green. This must be due to prevailing wind conditions which are atypical, this February. Or, perhaps, due to colder air flowing into the region. Or, some other reason... This is obviously a welcome change for many, if not all, people inhabiting these areas. I find it strange and unsettling, is all that I am saying. I do not welcome the smoke. I only find the sudden and unexplained absence of smoke, at this time of year, puzzling and unsettling.

As I say: I follow the custom on TV. So be it.

Correct. Never leave my compound in a T-shirt....ever...period. I do not even own one of those types of shirts with just no sleeves and some sort of narrow material hung on the shoulders, holding the entire thing up and to the body. Those kinds of shirts are worn by ditch-diggers and grave-diggers, in Connecticut.

I have noticed, after years on TV, that readers prefer the term TROUSERS. Most readers here are offended by the word PANTS. This is why I do as is the custom. I now always say TROUSERS when I mean trousers. And, I say pants when I mean something else.... Like, when I am referring to... WORLDWIDE PANTS

Yes. But the very ODDEST thing is that our Smoking Season seems to have gone missing. I want to know: WHEN will it begin in earnest? I have already prepared, but now.... Where is it? In years gone by, we could see thick smoke around these parts, by this time, each year. Now.... NOTHING! I am feeling a bit cheated. I had been so much looking forward to testing out my amazing and fantastic prep work.

On the outside or inside of your trousers, might I inquire?

How gauche! This will be the very last time I ever click on one of your suggested links. Still, I am not bothered by it much.
