Good Grief

what is going on in the world

Twenty five yrs ago , the scariest scenario for a World War was NATO vs. the Warsaw Pact.  A West leaning country would ask for aid from NATO and WP would object militarily.

Korea and the U.S. ( really the West ) have a 60 + yr history and it is not a loving relationship.
The show M.A.S.H. may have had some humour but the war it purportedly portrayed wasn't even close to funny.
The U.S. left Korea , a Phyrian winner , but really , damage was done culturally and politically.

The weather is high summer in the Big Smoke. H/ H is the order of the day.

I'm sitting here typing on Babe - e ( the converted W10 - Chrome OS) and thankful that I upgraded or down graded depending on your point of view.
There are limitations to using the Chrome OS outside of a Chromebook , proper. There were warnings by pundits.

The major drawbacks were gaming and sometimes advanced techniques ( split screen and multiple windows in use ).
In reality memory and speed are not altered ( cannot be changed w/out a new architecture and increased memory).
What changes is the stripped down nature of Chrome OS. I'm not dragging all the useless crap that came w/ W10.

However , compared to the baby laptop running W10 , there has been a re - birth , here.

The conversion turned a chore ( start up and site initiation addresses ) into an extended eye blink.
Compared to B's touchpad , a bit slower.

Day is a smoker out there and we are venturing out for supplies
, mainly booze , visitors to - morrow
