Saturday Open Thread - 8/29/26: Odds and Ends
Good morning, good people! I hope you are al in fine fettle this morning!
Well, folks, in case you think of Texas as all cowboys and rodeos all the time, please check out our Ren Fest.
I only went to the Festival once, when it was a new thing. A friend was a ballet dancer who got a paid gig to dance at the grounds, so I went to see her, had some woman read Tarot cards and predict my future.
The Festival is coming soon, is fairly close by, so who knows? I might want to see some jousting.
Skip the first 2 minutes of this video to see something besides the vlogger's costume choice.
Sam Altman said in an interview last week that he does not rely on AI, instead relies on internet surfing techniques he has used for 20 years.

Ok, it's OK to go to Texas rodeos.
I went to see Elvis Presley at the venue, but that was then...
One more:
Ok, we have problems in this world, which I mostly avoided mentioning, just because I want a little break from fear porn propaganda or reality, which ever it is I am exposed to on the net. I will return to the business of evaluating sometime today.
Your turn to post whatever you believe is worth sharing with us, about any topic, as this is an open thread.

Good morning!
Last evenings forecast of a heavy t-storm turned out to be a light rain of 5 minutes duration.
What came afterwards was a cool breeze with a hint of autumn. Nevertheless, we are still in 5th week of lovebugnado still going strong.
I look forward to your comments and hope for some god news, as always, friends!

Shoutout to obf, and others who are not
into country music: turn off the video of Strait's song and just look at the photos. They are stunning.

Good morning...
Last week we got relief from the heat, but this weekend through labor day, we're back in the oven. However, the end is in sight ...fall is around the bend.
The Ren fair looks interesting. Summerville has a little one in conjunction with the steam train excursions from Chattanooga, TN. We've got Finster Fest in about 3 weeks, and the County Fair is on this weekend. Fall and spring are festival season. I remember well from my days in the band.
The Larry x 2 video is excellent.
Have a great weekend, thanks for the OT!
