Interesting that Artificial Intel follows me all over the internet.

I can go all over the intternet. I use a browser called Edge. And it in fact takes me sometimes, to the edge! And over it! Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr. They suggest videos for me based on my viewing history on YouTube. They suggest friends for me on Facebook. They try to direct message me on Twitter and Tumblr often tries to entice me with very nearly naked ladies pics. Then I see ads relevant to things I look at on Amazon and suggest movies and shows to watch on Hulu. Artificial Intelligence aka Ai is always there, to keep us company. I guess we are now living in the 5G society. I laugh when I enter a Starbucks and see practically everyone who is about 20 something, on their smar phone, using their Starbucks App to get points for buying a suggested White Mocha Cappuccino. And when I order only a regular house blend grande, the take one look at me, with my pocket spiral notebook in my short sleve denum shirt and I GOT VAXXED! baseball cap and white velcro tennis shoes and blue denim jeans, they see me wearing wrap around Smith & Wesson shooter's glasses and wonder, Is this guy a for real? I order a regular coffee with extra cream and 3 sugars and wait, while looking at the produce and the flowers on display in a local Tom Thumb supermarket. Finally, I get to have my coffee. I have to remove my mask long enough to take a sip. I walk down past the deli display with variety cheeses and meats and many varieties of breads and end up at the back of the store where the donut display is and open it up and reach for a cinnamon bun and a coconut covered glazed donut. And then I walk around the store, looking for any and everything. The store is very nicely organized I have to say, and fully stocked. It is in an area near our home, but it is located, on the same land that once was a funeral home. It is right next door to a restaurant called Country Burger, that has existed in Oak Cliff for so many years it has become a local icon. greasy burgers and fries and an area to sit inside with displays of very old mechanical typewritters. Across the street used to be the old Radio Shack. But it is gone forever. The Tandy Corporation went belly up in Tarrant County after turning from a very successful retail electronics store that sold CB radios, stereo systems and massive Optimus speakers and all kinds of things, to basically only selling cell phones. Boring! The drive home along Hampton road takes me back to the street I grew up on, where the old Family house is empty as my father has since passed. We lived in a house in Dallas since the year 1964, moved there from Mitchell, Indiana and we all went to M.B Henderson Elementary school, from 2nd to 6th grade then we went to W E. Greiner Jr. High school from 7th to 9th grade and later, W.H. Adamson High school from 10th to 12th grade. The thing I like most about Jr. High was girls still wore dresses in the 70s. I played trumpet in the Greiner Yellow Jacket Band. And I sang in Mr. Payne's choir and The Production Source, ran by W. L Heider, retired US Air Force combat pilot, made a record album called The Sights & Sounds of Greiner with the band playing on one side of the record and the choir singing songs on the other side. I was lucky to be in school at that time, when the potential to have a real future once existed. Then on to El Centro Jr College to take Drafting and Architecture classes for 2 years in Arts & Humanities. I took music appreciation class on the side and live model drawing class too. Those days are long past but I have many good memories of my times in Dallas. My brother, who was a barber, before he became sick with COPD, once cut the hair of Stevie Ray Vaughn, a rock star who grew up in Dallas and went to public schools in the same area where I grew up. Kiest Park Recreation Center has a memorial of Stevie Ray Vaughn on display. For now I must end this post. But I will add more later. Peace all.
