Can't tell which way is up out the window. Rain and fog. I just want to go out and play in it.
Fine mist swirling. I'm spinning in a snow globe.. soon
Have a fine day friends..

You're very kind, @tonys, but I know my limitations too and they are more than I am happy to own, which is why I am always trying to learn something new.
I wake up next to myself too; have done for approaching 40 years. It's a big club, I understand. I just wish I could home in on others and we could have a Sane-type group in the real world. I haven't had any luck to date.
Well, it looks like you are on the way to becoming a computer proficient. They have been intimidating contraptions for a lot of folk which was the only factor holding them back. I've seen doctors—and there are no doubt many professionals—who type with two fingers. It just shows that people become comfortable with their established skill set and don't like to feel like a challenged beginner with something new. So just keep going and bit by bit you'll become a whizz at it.

Good morning @Meowmy @tonys @StuF @Historylover @Shaz51 @TAB
GOOD MORNING FORUMITES 👋🏼
I slept two nights in a row 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
7 & 6 hours respectively.
Surprising because I hate this time of the year. due to series of unfortunate events.
But this year I don’t have to endure a seat at the racist Christmas table.

Yes there is always a problem for celebrity endorsements but I sense Rich Dad Poor Dad is the real deal @Historylover You certainly got to be paid for what you do but he stands for freemarket economies and has been educating people about money all his life. He is like a few money people out there who teach a man to fish. He is really disappointed at the level of economic disempowerment and has been teaching people how to be financially free. I think this man is a genuine person. He fought in Vietnam and was treated like crap by left leaning communists. He says communism is a real threat to the world and has been fighting for human rights ever since.
They will be rolling in a CBDC - acronym for Central Bank Digital Currency around the world. Its allready operating in China. You will have huge restrictions placed on what you can and cannot buy as well as being issued with social credit scores. Its similar to what went on in Mao's Revolution where the general public used to turn on eachother and dock oneanother of their freedoms. You could literally be shut out of the system for doing something slightly wrong, like throwing trash in the street or jay walking and be stopped trying to get on a bus because your CBDC denies access, same with buying food. You could be left stranded somewhere or without anything to eat. This is allready happening in China.
I did read a manifesto from someone who was an intellectual in Romania when it was a communist country and back then they were using parallel economies to survive because the system was allready removing their liberties. Many economists and financial people as well as advocates are saying the same thing about today. We need parallel economies because CBDC's will place harsh limitations on our lives
I saw a brilliant short film on the short film festival this year on this and it won a film award. Its a great little movie maybe only 10 minutes long and tells us of the future economic dystopia that awaits us. I may try and dig it out for you. I think you will love it. The bank runs occuring in the USA are getting worse. People queuing outside ATM's there trying desperately to get the money out before banks crash. The only way to stop banking corruption is to enslave the masses by deliberately crashing the banks and imposing CBDCs

@TAB We both know the Rangers is the height of a mole hill. Alcoa is/has mined the Bauxite from it for a very long time.
Bauxite retains water like a sponge and die-back contamination continues. Hence no Eden there, but a nice tinderbox for Feb/Mar.
The Stirling Range/Koi Kyeunu-ruff, we get excited because of 1mm of snow 😆 still no Eden.
I love Western Australia.

I live in a suburb which is full of ethnicities and there is a lot of racism. They fight back by attacking whites for no reason as they've simply had enough. See them hop on the bus and knocking past people deliberately and saying things to unnerve people because the racism they've experienced here at the hands of whites is that bad. You see quite a lot of it. We have black African gang crime here in my suburb and they have had to install police guards at our railway station at night. Its what disenfranchisement produces. They have my understanding but they need black leaders in the community to stand up as role models. When a child of color is born they have to be 10x stronger than they ought to be to survive in this world. It should not have to be that way but it is @Glisten

Here is the short film I mentioned, its an Australian film and an absolute classic. Not very long 10 minutes I think but worth watching every minute. I hope you enjoy it @Historylover. I know I did. I just had to pass it along to people on my twitter feed when I saw it. It made my day.

I know what you mean @Historylover . Being brutally honest with people is driving wrong way, peak hour, down one way streets. We loose paint hey. Thats what I love about Sane. I step on my dicki , dust myself off,
and try again tomorrow. My slow typing gives me a moment of. . pause.
I suspect you, like me, have a dodgy filter adjustment dial. But it can be an advantage.
Thankyou for your encouragement history lover. Thing I'm most looking forward to when I get out of here is yelling out to the office lady, How do I spell this..! What the hell does that word mean..? Why's there a cigarette butt in my coffee cup..!
Not knowing things has helped me make more friends than knowing things.
By the time I figure it all out they'll be nailing down the lid.
. Have a beautiful day. I'll leave you in peace.. tonys
