Can't believe Nicole (Hernandez) Lagoo is leaving today at KREM2
Jesus Boy is blabbering again about "blessed". Pathetic. Get over yourself, little guy.

Finished viewing the new content today of a streaming-video series episode I referred to recently.
Early in I immediately saw it.
None of this matters - if at all - if not for the sequence of events today.
If one happened before the other then it would not matter.
The sequence of events is the only point of this description by me.
Very early this morning, thoughts formed in my mind that I need to view today the episode 2 season 3 of "Silo" on AppleTV
Wasn't sure when I would view it, thought to myself I should get it out of the way as early in the morning as possible.
Sleeping again for a while.
Sat down again at this lousy desk and thinking about that new episode
Wanted to make a couple of sandwiches. Deliberated a few minutes about viewing the episode first. Decided on the sandwiches first and then the episode.
Began preparing the sandwiches. Two items on the inside of the refrigerator door. One in heavy plastic wrapper for several items in the bundle. It was to the left-side of a container of mayonnaise. With a small retractable-blade box-cutter, stuck the plastic wrapper. Still trying to figure out how it all went so wrong. With the blade still in my left-hand, I swiped it across the palm of my right-hand. Soundlessly, it's an ugly cut. Blood streaming. Very concerned I would need stitches.
Fortunately for me, the bleeding stopped quickly. Sealing up nicely and until I started typing at the keyboard with both hands, some minor leaking of blood. Stitches definitely not necessary.
None of this would be remarkable - and maybe there is nothing at all remarkable about it - if not for happening before viewing that episode.
Later I marveled at how it could have been so much worse.
Not posting an image of it. Is important the location of the cut. Looking it up on Wikipedia to see if that particular area of the hand has a specific name.
In the image you see a reference to: Radial longitudinal crease
I refer to that only because the direction of the arrow in the image. That arrow represents the general direction of the cut on my hand today
The location of the cut is best described from that illustration as the: thenar eminence
by me, Kerry Burgess, 07/10/2026 09:17 AM
There are relevant scenes and dialog I viewed just after that incident. Gave up on the sandwiches.
Undecided if I illustrate the dialog. Too much work to get into it all here. One or two scenes are relevant but all of it should be viewed. The Improbable.
The progress of the content of this note down this page does not match the cognitive process of my mind
The most important point to note is that I thought first to check my original-work for "Cast Away" BEFORE I thought to check for 12/6/1979
The Charlotte character is a large divergence from the book. I am watching for those sort of details because I believe it could be relevant to my research and experiments.
Also, in the video series, that The Algorithm presence might be a divergence that represents Silo 1 in the books.
I have started reading again the books and I have just reached the part about Silo 17 and that seems to be the basis for season 2 of the video series. So I don't know how the Congressman Keene character works into the story in the distant future.
Several times in recent days I have thought of researching a mainstream-media news item about Paris Hilton that was on the tv-news recently.
To make a long story short - of dialog composed in my mind about it, the comments by me closed with:
That one time (probably) she could squeeze out only a few chuckles all the way to the money-bank
Her brand of cheap perfume I found on Amazon and after spraying it on Evelyn-B_157, she still is not speaking to me.
Today is the final episode of season 1 of "Star City", also on AppleTV. Not sure when I will view it, if ever.
I always take note of "Newman" because it is relevant to me.

Seems clearer to me today the reason(s) for my excursion into the VA psychistric hospital all those years ago
If E.T. starts mind-controlling people then the medical establishment will simply write it off as schizophrenia
ESPECIALLY if those victims are veterans that are street-hobo's because they are too weak to be anything other than drug- and substance-abusers.

XI. There is substantial and credible information that President Clinton's actions since January 17, 1998, regarding his relationship with Monica Lewinsky have been inconsistent with the President's constitutional duty to faithfully execute the laws.
On May 4, 1998, Chief Judge Norma Holloway Johnson ruled against the President on the Executive Privilege issue.(486) After the White House filed a notice of appeal, the OIC filed an expedited petition for certiorari before judgment in the Supreme Court. The President thereupon dropped his claim of Executive Privilege.

Actually, I understand now what is reason that explains that I am the original and not the clone. I have pondered over several possibilities but I just remembered again one explanation that makes perfect sense.
I have also been thinking that some time back I passed the point where I could fully regain to conscious awareness all my true memory with no difficulty. There is still something that has to happen though before I can turn on the light switch to all those memories though but I do not consciously know what is that condition.
I miss my wife very much. I love my wife very much.

Are our memories the past - those common details all of us should be aware of - the same as those we don't ask to recall their memories of those same common details
We don't know because we can't ask all 8 billion

Of the working theories I have about this
First: I am being mind-controlled by some sort of horrible monster from outer-space
Second: The past is not real
The past is an illusion

And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Get tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away
And now we're grown-up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one, that's a shame
You could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
And scars are souvenirs you never lose

The phone that roared
By Stephanie Pain
3 May 2006
“These deluded and romantic men gave me a glimpse of the skilled proletariat of the United States. They sang obsolete sentimental songs with genuine emotion; and their language was frightful even to an Irishman. They worked with a ferocious energy which was out of all proportion to the actual result achieved…They were free-souled creatures, excellent company: sensitive, cheerful, and profane; liars, braggarts, and hustlers…” What sort of men was playwright George Bernard Shaw referring to? Telephone engineers. During a brief stint at Thomas Edison’s London HQ in 1879, Shaw saw Edison’s entrepreneurial talents in operation. With a piece of chalk and some singing engineers, Edison carved himself a slice of the new telephone industry.
THOMAS EDISON’s “English telephone” was never really going to last. Admittedly, it had one obvious advantage over the rival telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell: you could hear what the person on the other end of the line was saying. Unlike the indistinct mumblings emanating from the earpiece of Bell’s device, the voice emerging from Edison’s telephone was clear and loud. “It was a telephone of such stentorian efficiency,” wrote George Bernard Shaw, aspiring author and one-time employee of Edison’s short-lived London operation, “that it bellowed your most private communications all over the house instead of whispering them with some sort of discretion”.
