Because(?) I mentioned Judah Cohen yesterday, I discovered moments ago that a Dr. of meteorology had written that same day the explanation I wondered about yesterday

This extreme weather began, he states, as a series of disturbances in the Western Pacific Ocean. Other stuff I had described also is confirmed

Four hours ago, sarcasm about the greatness of weather-apps and the GFS raw data



*My* blog is about The Improbable.

That is what I want to define.

Yesterday, thought formed that it is probably better that I am not a scientist.

I fully expect an outcome for all this.

The predicted outcome (predicted by whom, unknown to me, can only guess) is precisely why I have to live like this. And I really don't like it. Don't like it one damn bit.



The Improbable.

Today, for the first time ever, discovered that MicroProse Software is still active. In the 1980s, I brought my Commodore personal-computer into my workcenter on the ship. Tied it down to a metal shelf next to the digital-data recorder on one side and the input-output console for the Univacs on the other side. When we were at sea, used it for playing computer-games I liked and also to teach myself the BASIC computer-software language.

MicroProse today has several computer-games listed on Steam.

That is mildly baffling to me today. Because I never would have guessed they were still active.

Looked around and saw *all* of my favorite computer games listed there for sale

The old, archaic versions are affordable, but not very appealing.

Gunship and Gunship 2000 is nostalgic for me, don't really care for it because it was fairly crude and that's not really the type of computer-game I care for.

Space Engineers 2 has promise but I got bored with it quickly a few days ago. It offers Survival mode, sort of, and VS 2.2 sounds more promising. I really don't care for the scenario that replaces the Progression Tree in SE1.

As for MicroProse, their most promising games are a reinvention of Red Storm Rising. Forget now their title for it, Cold Water, maybe. They have the updated version of Harpoon Classic '97 that is somewhat interesting to me. More interesting is their reinvention of that game. It looks really good. Outside my budget, though, so I don't see it in my future anytime soon, especially because I have only a passing interest in it.



The Improbable.

Wondering if there is an improbable reason I made only today that discovery.

And if I discover anything improbable about today, then so what?

Where does this lead? Why am I still here doing this pointless work? When do I get what *I* want?

There must be a reason I was manipulated into this course of action.

Anyone following along with my extensive posts would have to wonder, as I wonder, if this in this present time, is the reason behind everything I have discovered about events in my life going back over 40 years into the past and beyond that.
