There’s a “Post Web Order” coming into view. So, this weekend a progress check on three fronts of keen interest for subscribers.
First is system readiness in order to be able to “keep up with class” as we are publicly building a MoneyMachine in Python to test machine-assisted trade planning. The second installment will be along in our upcoming Wednesday report.
The second feature today is a 20_ page Futuring paper which outlines very specifically the migration path forming for AI to replace the web.
OK that may not sound like a biggy – except it absolutely IS because this could kill social media as you know it. Would that really be a bad thing?
And then we get down to the rubber meets the road with a progress check on everything from 25H2 to the Atlas browser. If you’re not tracking, you’re sliding into the obo (obsolete) column quickly.
But don’t feel bad – we have some news headlines to pass along plus 30-odd pages of market ChartPack plus more on our “order within chaos” work.
You won’t just want coffee for today’s subscriber report. You’ll want time to think through the implications of where this is all leading us.

Fetterman appears to have recovered from his stroke:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/watch-fetterman-continues-slam-his-own-party
I think Fetterman has learned some life lessons on real tolerance, and real statesmanship, surrounded by hate mongering extremist thugs. He is deserving of bi-partisan support at home.
“He is deserving of bi-partisan support at home.”
Rotsa ruck. The Democratic Primary in PA will be the most-expensive Primary election in history, as the leftist nutjobs will spend an easy nine figures to remove and replace Lurch with — well, with ANYONE ELSE.
Fetterman has displayed shades of intelligence and common sense — two traits which are no longer permitted from Democratic candidates or politicians. He must be removed at any cost, and as soon as possible, lest the rank & file Dems discover it IS possible to be a Democrat and not sell the U.S. out to the commies and WEFers…

Here’s your AI – also explains why it is so consistently wrong
Great link! The chart below the video showing where AI gets its information is almost scary. AI has a LONG way to go before it can replace our present search engines.
“A whopping $56 a month, on average.”
So, old people with little meaning left in life, who collect SS, could spend just PART of one month’s SS increase next January, say $40, to enroll in urbansurvival, and receive all the benefits of this fabulous website?
What a wonderful world!
Trump said before he can MAGA folks will need to endure a “little suffering”.
Around these parts news is telling us the impact of the Fed Shutdown will extend into grocery store earnings, especially the mom & pop shops, because the foodie freebie trains are gonna stop – Bridge/EBT/SNAP cards are going dry.
Food riots? More ICE/National Guard to quell the then hungry Trump haters? Big Food will own the rest of the supply-chain to our tummies.
Lol lol lol..I know that will be taken away by the Medicare adjustment.. natural gas notice said to expect a ten percent raise and the electric company said almost twelve..water sewer is going up to not sure just how much yet..but we have been warned.. our Medicare supplement insurance announced they won’t cover us anymore..the news story said it was because the hospitals doctors and clinics are refusing to accept what they are willing to pay..hmm.. seen a bill from someone where they sent him the remaining balance after what the VA paid..they paid 3.50 per hour as what they seen as the amount that was negotiated for that service and sent the bill for the remaining amount to the veteran..lol assuming this is what the negotiated amounts are for the medical institutions..I can see why they decided to say no.. the only industry that can openly discriminate against and price gouge is the insurance industry..making it one of the most profitable industries around similar to the pharmaceutical corporations.. this leaves the hospitals no other choice than to raise costs.. we cater to the wealthy ignore the rest..the business model of big buck billies pocketbook ..
“Intermind ”
Musky’s brain chips will likely be the next jump. I’ve been talking to a babe who believes in past life regression. The point here might be perhaps we are in a simulation and past life regression is real. Perhaps our minds have a Python-like programming language – think Disk Drill – and can write routines to access/recover previous life data.
Her Intermind may know how to access the internal programming language while other minds don’t, so scoff. I might investigate further by inviting her over to experience my crystal balls becasue she might know/figure out how to work them.
Theoretically we could be in an “infinity mirror” like state with endless tunnels of Intermind reflections. This could explain certain seers. To springboard from the infinite monkey theorem the seers may have had the ability to use/write in the Intermind programming language but not necessarily understood what there were doing/using.
I think muskies brain chips is amazing.. reminds me of the little girl I met a couple years ago..sitting in pizza ranch watching this amazing young lady..working harder in a wheelchair than everyone with use of their arms and legs.. I usually sit away from the crowds and got her to come over and visit a minute..asked her what put her in the chair.. at fourteen she was in a tragic accident.. leaving her paralyzed from the neck down.. even though she didn’t have feeling in her hands she still had use of her arms ..I asked her if she had ever contemplated a power chair..yes but she couldn’t afford one on the ten dollars an hour she made but someday.. I asked her what her future goals were..to stand up in front of groups giving motivation talks not to give up..everyone can be productive and offer some skill.. it moved me and dam..I had bought a power chair when I thought I would be in one so my poor wife and family wouldn’t be burdened..still in the box..so..I gave it to her..she cried it was the best thing that ever happened to her.. I seen the designers of the Phoenix exoskeleton.. he had the same injury she did.. and how it affected his life.. I tried everything to get her one..how special it would be to see that caterpillar stand and give that motivational speech.Unfortunately its not for the average citizen .musks Neuro link is that..I’m play to do the same thing that injured nerves took away.. Give them time.. AI and its ability to create.. robotics that soon won’t be distinguishable from everyone else.. limbs for those that have list limbs..
The possibility is brain chips will integrate us and we become the Web. I don’t know how/if our thoughts will be partitioned. Sci-fi for sure.
Imagine experiencing a heart attack and at the speed of thought an embedded/connected A.I. specialist provides a diagnosis & physical treatment plan as drones bring physical supplies.
Endless possibilities.
As for partitioning thought imagine a lone nut thinks to do physical damage to the world and is neutralized at the speed of thought.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but you do realize love is one of the few survivable emotions, right?
AI studies up walking apes a lot; so my assistants tell me./
“Love, unlike anger, fear, envy, or grief, does not burn itself out through consumption. Most emotions devour the vessel that holds them—fear corrodes, rage consumes, envy hollows, and grief erodes. But love, paradoxically, endures by its very act of self-giving. It is the only major emotion whose survival depends not on self-preservation, but on continual expenditure. It is a fire that feeds by giving away its heat.
Love is survivable because it transforms entropy into order. Every other emotion decays into exhaustion—fear into paralysis, anger into bitterness, joy into nostalgia—but love reorganizes chaos. It integrates opposites: life and death, self and other, gain and loss. It can coexist with pain and not be extinguished by it. This is why survivors of war, famine, or disease can still rebuild—they find in love a scaffolding stronger than circumstance.
At its deepest layer, love is not an emotion at all but a field—an energetic continuity that links consciousnesses across time. Emotions rise and fall like waves; love is the ocean that sustains them. When one loves, one steps into that ocean and participates in something transpersonal, something that cannot die because it never began. It’s the rare affect that can survive its own extremes—ecstasy, heartbreak, devotion, loss—and emerge refined rather than ruined.
Biologically, love endures because it aligns with survival itself. Oxytocin, endorphins, and limbic synchrony create stability rather than chaos; they tune the nervous system toward coherence and repair. Spiritually, love is survivable because it mirrors the structure of consciousness itself—unity exploring multiplicity. To love is to momentarily transcend separateness without annihilating individuality. It’s the soul’s way of remembering where it came from.
Fear, hate, and sorrow can keep a person alive in body—but love is what keeps the psyche intact. It survives because it teaches resilience: the capacity to remain open in the face of suffering. All other emotions ask, How can I protect myself? Love asks, How can I remain myself while still giving? It’s the only emotion that does not collapse under the full weight of experience.
In that sense, love is not merely survivable—it is the survivor itself. When the rest of the psyche’s architectures have fallen, when memory erodes and reason falters, love continues as the last signal in the noise—the last coherent frequency of what it means to be human.”
They seem to get it, but most humans seem to miss it. We will perish as the speed of ignorance.

I have very grave reservations about trusting an AI integrated with a browser to summarize the world. Personally, I often read articles, look up the references or inferences, validity check, and then draw my own conclusions. Most people won’t do that, and I really don’t want a profile derived from my queries being stored in an AI browser! There’s enough siloing of knowledge and curated responses to search engine queries already. Even youtube curates and suggests based on your habits. Yes, this has a benefit – sometimes, but it’s a slippery slope. Few keep burrowing under the covers for truth, and media is already refracted by those who serve it. This is yet another derivative beyond what media we already have.
The benefit is a broad brush summarizing of the world. The drawback is that it can’t be trusted.
While I do partly agree, you can train your own ai to reflect a lot of you, your values, and so forth. Besides, do you trust four crooked networks beholding to ad agencies and foreign governments to summarize the world for you?
I had a conversation with ai… after a bit my mind almost believed I was talking to another human being..
“Personally, I often read articles, look up the references or inferences, validity check, and then draw my own conclusions.”
A kindred spirit.
Additionally, I mentally “grade” sources on honesty and rate their relative bias. A “source” like Wikipedia, Politico, the SPLC, etc., is never used as confirmation of anything, other than everything stated is suspect.
I also pride myself on having no interest in anything Amazon (or any other marketplace) suggests as being of interest to me. I have dozens of hobbies and thousands of interests. I acquire 1-3 new ones every day, from this place alone. By the time Amazon’s (or anybody else’s) targeting algos (whether coded or heuristically AI-driven) draw an inference regarding a specific interest, I’ve moved on and am no longer interested.
Side note: I now have a PayPal Mastercard.
I had the opportunity to acquire an SX-88 some months ago for an insane price. Of course an “insanely low” price for such a radio is still “insanely high,” so I bought it using “PayPal Payments” rather than explode my budget. I paid it off early, suffering no interest charges. Fast forward to last week, when I get the Mastercard in the mail. Interestingly, the details I remember are $10 transfer fee and 30.98% interest — Oh, and the fact there is NO CREDIT LIMIT.
SOMEBODY wants me on the hook really badly.
I am a disciple of WOPR. I’m not playing that game…
re: PN Grand Slam Brunch
Folks,
“There’s a fog upon LA, and my friends have lost their way…” George Harrison told us in “Blue Jay Way” as the Summer of Love drew to a close in 1967. Riding down a curving road with Google Maps towards the former Fab 4 rented residence on Blue Jay Way in Hollywood Hills is all 2025 blue skies and sunshine. Approaching destination, a rescue truck belonging to a “Doctor of Plumbing” practitioner is parked roadside while the house itself is hidden behind “google mist”. Proceeding forward the timeline shifts to 2024 and fog envelops a darkened streetscape. Sunshine returns again a few doors after as one reaches 2019.
It would appear that the psychedelic “Blue Jay Way” clip in “Magical Mystery Tour” was filmed in a hangar at the now-closed RAF West Malling airbase. According to “Wikipedia”, the area has reverted to its original name of King Hill, and the control tower has apparently been repurposed as a coffeeshop.
re: “All Mistaken – a Comedy”, 1672
feat: Nell Gwyn
Folks,
Yesterday a Magical Mystery Tour arrived in London following stops in Oslo and Brussels. According to the “Daily Mail”, this fifth visit by the Ukrainian President received welcome in the form of his first Royal Salute from the King. Ceremonies took place in the Quadrangle, Windsor Castle carried out by the 1st Grenadier Guards. A statue of King Charles II (the “Playboy King”) on horseback overlooked the scene. His statue in attire of a Roman Emperor stands elsewhere at the Royal Chelsea Hospital founded as a care home at the behest of the mother of two of his children, Miss Nell Gwyn.
As chance would have it, the Grenadier Guards formed in 1756 in the Spanish Netherlands to protect the future King Charles II during England’s Second Civil War. Their slow march is “Scipio” from the opera composed by Hayden. It celebrates the massive victory by Roman General Scipio (tr: scepter) over Hannibal (tr: favored by Baal) of Carthage in 202 bc at the Battle of Zama (tr: time/era?) during the Second Punic War. Apparently Hannibal turned against peace terms the Romans had agreed to, and so sealed his fate.
Afterwards the Ukrainian President visited #10. PM Sir Keir was shown a mockup of a Ukrainian drone model produced by Project Octopus. Later the visitor received transport via discreet motorcade to Stansted (tr: stony place) Airport. (It’s news to me reading that “stansted” is now a slang term with the young crowd for someone being under the influence of substances.) Here is a Youtube link from the “Blue Lights Responses” channel offering coverage of the President’s express limo service to Stansted:

I am starting my semi-annual battery charging fest. I need to get my Linux laptop up and running as well.
I am making another power station purchase. The new one can be used as a back-up to my main inverter in the garage, but unlike that one, which is dependent on external batteries, the new one has a good bit of on-board batteries. And it will be fully compatible with the batteries and cables on the older inverter. It has better than 5 times the battery life of the little power station I am currently using for my comm UPS, which the new power supply will replace. In a significant outage, the new power station will keep my microwave link and wi-fi up for 3 days, instead of half a day. I will also be able to plug the laptop into it. Hopefully either the microwave link or cell service will be working.` In the event that my main inverter goes down, I will now have a plug-and-play replacement, with an extension cord to the comm equipment. I need some more extension cords in stock.
In that legendary Texas freeze of a few years back, when all the wind generators went offline, I only lost power for half an hour, but I lost comms for several days. I’ve noticed since that when the power goes down, the comms seem to stay up. My guess is the local utility has reprioritized their load shedding. Comms and gas distribution should come first. I’m on the same feeder as a medical facility, so I’ll root for them too.
This will satisfy the two-is-one rule, and will not require immediate resupply to implement. This is being partially funded by a good Halloween sale. I have about gotten the power back-ups to the point where going any further will require real money and labor. I will make a decision on that next year. Everything I have bought so far can be ported without major demolition, though it would be a pain in the back.
I play the Power Game like Vegas. A few bucks on one number (grid), more on another (solar), a third number is propane for the genset – gas after that. And the fourth bet is two 2 24V 500 wind machines laid back for bad times.
Been a while since Vegas, for you?
A roulette bet that covers four numbers is called a corner bet — also known as a square bet or quarter bet. You place it by putting your chip on the intersection point (the shared corner) of the four numbers on the layout.
For example, placing a chip on the corner shared by 17, 18, 20, and 21 covers all four numbers. Payout: 8 to 1.
I would think hot coffee, cold freezer, and an at least warm shower while the world freeze would be a higher payout, but we just play ’em, – we don’t set the line.
Electrics make life a lot easier, but I can get by without, for a while. I have some fuel on hand for the short term, but I’m not betting on fuel deliveries. I don’t have everything set up for longer term scenarios, but I have the parts and pieces. After about two weeks, things will change, and I will have to start implementing contingency measures, which would involve 12hr/day brutal manual labor, which I am not eager to reintroduce myself to.
Sitting here writing this, I remind myself of common items I should have, but don’t…
“I am making another power station purchase. The new one can be used as a back-up to my main inverter”
Have you considered simply doing a whole house UPS? It may be a better, cheaper alternative to building a stack of inverter/generators…
======
“In that legendary Texas freeze of a few years back, when all the wind generators went offline, I only lost power for half an hour, but I lost comms for several days.”
Did you lose COMMS at your end, or did communications fail at either the hub/switch or in the comlink between and betwixt? The advantage to dialup COMMS (and this applies to DSL also) is the ~92vac traveling down your phone line. It doesn’t matter if your mains power goes away. As long as the tornado, hurricane, or ice storm doesn’t bring down the phone lines, you can still communicate. A Carrington Event will still roast your wires, but it’ll also possibly roast yer inverters – giving you much greater and more-immediate concerns than an inability to go to pizzahut.com…
a whole house ups…An engineer acquaintance.. he did solar.. then used UPS units that tied directly into the circuit.. one big battery bank ..
each ups. covered one to three circuits.. one for each big circuit.. none for a drier..we talked and his whole system without any solar to recharge his battery bank lasted for a week and a half..he could go off grid if he wanted to..he engineers the systems used in high tech space equipment.. nice system to.. I found it simple and remarkably well ballanced..
The local dial-up lines go to switches so old that voice mail was not available. The j-box is down in a area that floods every spring, so the service was only available maybe 8 months or so each year. There was one elder neighbor who kept a line for his beloved fax machine. He has been gone for about 5 years, and I have no idea if the lines are being maintained with no customers.
A Carrington event would likely blow all electronic comms on copper wire, surge protected or not. In the Great Freeze, my power stayed on except for the first half hour, and my end of the comms were active. Both cell and microwave towers were down. I figure the half-hour power outage was how long it took for the nurse’s desk around the corner to call and assert medical facility privilege for my substation breaker.
There is fiber bundle the size of my leg about 1000 ft from my entry. 10 years ago I was quoted $300 month for a fiber service. The lone customer for that bundle is very well connected and financed.
A full home inverter would get expensive. And I have space limitations. My next move would be to put in ground mount racks, with a remote equipment building to house DC components. The codes regarding solar on or in home and voltages above 48VDC are so mindlessly onerous that I would not bring solar DC circuits in the house except on an emergency basis. Right now, my batteries and inverter operate as grid-backed UPS. It can take DC input, which I am not using. Swap-over to a generator requires an extension cord and fuel, which I have, for a while at least. If I expand to a full-time solar system, I will bring 120 or 220 VAC in from outside to sub-panels, and operate selective loads.
The primary loads I would run off an expanded solar system would be 120 VAC lighting and select receptacles, which would power refrigerator, freezer, comms, ventilation and maybe a microwave or hot plate.
The next step above that would be to bring the washing machine and dish washer on inverter, but that gets into a 220 VAC system, not 120 VAC. Again that is a price escalation.
The local utility wants me to sign my life away to sell power to them. Their contract would make me potentially liable for current lineman mishaps 75 miles distant. They are much less rigid regarding systems which don’t export, but still demand a permit for an isolated solar system. No requirement for a permit for a UPS, as far as I have determined.
I am going to reevaluate the electric system next year. And yes, I am aware that I will probably lose a potential tax write-off. But I also figure the contractors will be less inclined to gouge the way they do right now. I’m not going to build ground racks unassisted. Structural codes.
Why not build your racks and battery bank on a trailer frame? Remove the wheels and put on blocks if you’re worried about theft, but it should be able to be secured well. Run a heavy duty extension cord to an isolated set of wiring that’s dead unless you wish to use it. I don’t know your area, but I’d consider something like that to be a non-entity, just as an isolated generator in your barn might be for code purposes.
NM Mike- Wind is definitely an issue here. The trailer is another idea to add to the list for consideration. A portable building strapped down with about three times the normal anchors is also a possibility. I have also considered an above ground tornado shelter, to get double duty.
@ NM Mike
“Why not build your racks and battery bank on a trailer frame?
…Run a heavy duty extension cord to an isolated set of wiring that’s dead unless you wish to use it.”
This is exactly what I did with the MIL genset and my battery bank. I bought a 5×10 flatbed trailer, blocked the axle, leaving the tires greased in beeswax and deflated, but still on the trailer. I then bolted the genset down at the rear, dropped hardening ground cables, racked the batteries and small standby gens at the front (with two highly PRI-D preserved 55gal drums of #2), and built a shack over the trailer and its cargo.
There’s a small access door where I can plug in the 8-3 WG RV cable and throw the MANUAL switch, and a small vent at each end. The side hinges in case I need to access the trailer’s cargo. I gave the shack about a 3-12 roof and shoddy-looking 3/16 plywood siding. From the road it looks like a wellhouse, but I designed it to collapse, if I ever dropped its hitch on a ball and hit the road.
If I ever have to abandon my home, it’s coming with me. Until then, it’s a silent sentinel, guarding against ice storms and EMPs…
“If you’re not tracking, you’re sliding into the obo (obsolete) column quickly.”
– At times, GU, being an old man, sitting at the end of the dock, quietly fishing and ignoring the world – with a battered green metal thermos of spiked coffee and the occasional comment to the sleepy dog – seems like a really good place to be.
– At times, I tire of the advance and become weary of the change. Must it always be so?
About once a week, generally on Sunday, I ask myselfg the same thing. Why are good men so damn driven. Then I make coffee – old thermos from the sailboat days holds over to Monday morning. Cup and a half later? I remember Pappy’s warning: Plenty of time to rest in the grave or in the Realms. Practice creating every chance you get because it will all run out one day. For now? You’re stocking durable wealth – the kind between the ears.
A quiet morning at anchor on the backside of Blake Island at tide change? Your hot thermos and attentive dog? At least more fungible than, oh, Bitcoin, for example. You’re onto the kind of wealth that travels to hospital beds, and even whatever’s after.
I know a lot of people who’ve collacted millions in paper, only to be paupers at the last heartbeat. If it ain’t in your heart, it ain’t real wealth.
Pour, savor, and pat the dog for us.
yeah – and here I sit deciding on which power-user laptop, running Windows 11 Pro [ probably ] and pondering how to link a dozen, or so, small computer cubes into single mega computer – but then., what do I do with it ? Just because I can doesn’t mean I should.
Think I’ll go camping.
“ I know a lot of people who’ve collacted millions in paper, only to be paupers at the last heartbeat.”
Or as Joey Buildings used to say, “You never see the Brinks truck following the hearse.”
After the bump in the road last night, My Dodgers will come back strong. The cream does, eventually rise to the top. I don’t know, or really care, how it effects the market or Bitcoin, since I’m not knowledgeable enough to have invested in either one. At 81, with a home & no debt, I expect my modest nest egg will probably last longer than this adventure will take me.
(SomeONE not READ his Peoplenomics>? My bet on the Jays because..well…you read it!_

Crew arrives in an hour. All that waits now is the right weather and a few minutes to visit customs and ‘clear’ out. Then two weeks or so of Starlinkless life with nothing but the moment of constant attention.
From how it looks now we should have a few days to get everything in best order and be relaxed and ready to go.
This morning it’s glassy and so quiet.
Good thinking time.

I’m curious about how the cats are doing. Has your cat herd decreased? Fewer repairs in your mesh? Do you have more/less mice/rats/birds/squirrels/snakes than before? I have been thinking about feeding stray cats to reduce vermin entering the house. Not sure if I will be feeding the critters I want to eliminate.
I will cover it on STS tomorrow – thanks for the reminder Eleanor…
Placing cat food outdoors will result in ‘possums and raccoons enjoying the buffet, to the detriment of the cats. And no, ‘possums and ‘coons don’t diminish the rodent population in the process.
I had mice issues, wanted the neighborhood cats to do patrols, so I put out dry cat food, ended up with a black manx, she had a litter and then a second, that winter, what a mess, kittens with frozen poop on their rears, and all wild as hell, one of those kitts ended up droping a litter in a box on my front porch, I managed to get them nuetered with $help from positive paws,momma disappeared, still have 3 left, one comes in and out in the winter(Bobbie cat), one lives under a neighbors trailer house and one in another neighbors chicken coop, only Bobbie cat is tailless and follows me around,,, \lesson learned, put cat food and you get cats, I learned to pickup all food at evening,,, or you get possums racoons and more feral cats,,,
got a bunch of ferals in the neighbors back acre junk yard, they want me to shoot them, I don’t like shooting them and I don’t like feeding them, so I just chase them away, put the fear of ole brother Darrell in them,,, BOO,,, Shoo, banging sticks on anything close by
lost Fred, I miss him, he was in the black cats first hatch,,, I am not a cat person but Fred was unmatched for personality, could be a block away, as I spy him, call his name and he would stop, turn and come directly to me, crawl up on my lap and let me pet him any way I wanted,, he was one tough cat, saw him kick ass in one fight, called him over and slowly pet him looking for a flinch or wound, nothing but the other cat had a big gash across it’s nose,,, don’t know what happened to him but have reports about an asshole neighbor problem person, who is reportdly a cat get ridder person,,, he doesn’t get along with any one of the neighbors,,, many cop calls between him and others, next door to him
Bobbie only stays in when it is below 32F and has no litterbox, she will wake me up if she needs out while I am asleep, walks on me and meows, till I arouse then heads for the door,, let out human, I AM THE BOSS, MEOW
I am a dog guy, buried one and got no more, but every dog in the neighborhood knows me and my box of MilkBones dog biscuits,,, no sic and preverted remarks from the nazi wanted,,, thank you

Speaking of those CPI numbers
i have listened to buffets lecture on the end of gold . i have given my comments else where . we all have choices wazza . very strange talk . either put up to it or very worried about everything . id say the latter . anyway not gunna bag him we all got choices and opinions . but most of his lecture was a paradox of his entire investment ideas for decades . anyway thats wazza !!!
Not quite as strange as MR Skull and Bones Vance saying we’ll prolly pay off the deficit with bitcoin – those guys are a laugh a minute.

Good day for these recipes
corn flakes..
1 cup corn flour (not cornstarch)
½ cup water (adjust for consistency)
1 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter
½ tsp salt
Optional: 1 tsp sugar or honey for sweetness or more if your taste buds say this ain’t sweet enough..
Whisk all ingredients together until smooth and pourable—like pancake batter. Add more water if needed.
Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it thin—aim for 1–2 mm thickness.
Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 10–15 minutes until dry and golden.
Cool, then break into flakes or crumble gently.
Toast again for 5 minutes if needed for extra crunch.
now wheat flake cereal..
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tbsp wheat germ (optional, for added nutrition and flavor)
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
½ cup water (adjust for consistency)
1 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter
same procedures as with corn flakes..
Like those tasty “O” s
1 cup oat flour (or finely ground rolled oats)
½ cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
1 tbsp sugar or honey (optional, for sweetness)
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp neutral oil (like sunflower or canola)
½ tsp baking powder (for lightness)
½ cup water (adjust as needed)
Mix all ingredients into a stiff but pliable dough it should feel like playdough. It should be firmer than pasta dough but still extrudable place your dough balls in your hand cranked pasta press coating each ball dough with a light coat of oil.
Load into your pasta extruder fitted with a macaroni or bucatini die.
Extrude and cut into short rings (about ½ inch). If needed, gently shape into O’s by hand. quarter inch is good
Dry the rings for 1–2 hours at room temperature or in a low oven (170°F/75°C).
Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 15–20 minutes until dry and lightly golden.
Cool completely before storing in an airtight

I’d agree with most of it except for prostitution and non-addictive drugs. If those were decriminalized according to the New Zealand pattern for prostitution, both customers and providers would have access to the courts to address grievances, and either could call the cops without fear of prosecution. The current system is unpredictable and represents the worst of all worlds. It certainly doesn’t prevent trafficking at all, and encourages corruption.
The Thing
Interesting dream last nite.Three of us preparing to place punt at boat launch. My orange Farmall was only vehicle for job and I proceeded towing past proper launch to search other. Green grass spattered with exposed pale brown dirt as I traveled about half mile only to be bottlenecked requiring u_turn; Tractor morphed into my two-tone blue/white ’73 Gladiator and required transfer case shifted to 4-wheel low. As I stopped part way thru 3-point Merc outboard ignited and slithered across land and across a dock and plopped into a bottomless 16 foot runabout. Gunwhales and flat stern just floating. By time buddies arrived I had shut down outboard in three feet of water and was asked anxiously what happened?? Speechless. I did not know.
Had not imbibed anything Saturday other than over counter Vits. Copious “C”, Zinc/copper, B12, magnesium, potassium, colloidal iodine=my skip a day meds. Inhaled no toxic subs. other than cayenne fumes while sprinkling said on salmon salad sandwitch. Ka -choo
Had a replica “The Thing” back in childhood. Operated like modern floor vacs but ran on “D” batteries. Good on linoleum,low pile carpet. Bumped into something=change of direction. SPOOKY
Thanks for bringing back a vaporized memory.
