How on earth do i write a business plan when there are so many unknowns?

I wrote a business plan a few years ago. I can get you a copy if you wish.

The end of a long trip--from the Southern USA to Canada.

The Helpbot is like one of those creepy hitchhikers that everyone just whooshes by.

This gender neutral initiative is confusing.

With the above said, I don't think we should get hung up on "roles", i.e., saying that a man should not be a nurse, or that a woman should not be a police officer. I think it's perfectly OK for a boy to not like sports, or for a girl to like to play baseball and climb trees.

It's also OK for a woman to not want children, or for a man to not be attracted to women.

And if a man wanted to be considered as a woman, and if a woman wanted to be considered as a man, I would not want to see either of them persecuted. I just do not want to be forced to refer to a woman as a man, or to a man as a woman--and in some places, laws are being proposed that would make it illegal to not accommodate the pronoun choices of a supposed "transgender" person.

Can you imagine being charged with a crime if you didn't go along with someone's gender fantasy?

We can indulge people in all kinds of fantasies--but we should never be legally compelled to indulge them.

It is my personal opinion that biology, not one's mental state, determines one's gender. For most that is male or female, and then there are true hermaphrodites.

You can take a man, perform ***sex reassignment surgery on him, feed him estrogen, and counsel him until the polar caps melt, but his DNA will still say that he is a male. And vice versa with a woman.

I think the only real transgenders are the people born as hermaphrodites. Just because a woman thinks life would be better as a man, or just because a man believes life would be better as a woman, does not make them into something they aren't.

I also think it's quite foolish to not assign a gender to a newborn, and then letting him or her "choose" what they want to be. Sorry folks, but Nature has already chosen for them!

There are many people out there who are just unhappy with the biologic cards that Nature has dealt them. However, wishing and even employing surgical techniques is not going to truly change someone's ***sex.

I could wake up tomorrow morning and self-identify as a multi-billionaire--but that would not put any more money into my bank account.

I think most of the people claiming transgender status have psychological--rather than true biological--issues.

OS upgrade

I would have also switched to Apple except for glued in batteries, glued in memory chips and glued in hard drives.

OS upgrade

Yeah, Vista is just obsolete. Probably the newer programs won't work with it, and Microsoft will stop supporting it if it hasn't stopped already.

The only problem you might have is whether or not your computer is up to the processor and memory demands of Windows 10.

Recommend you just get a new computer already loaded with Windows 10!

I guess im on the night shift now...

Be aware--in experiments with rats, those that were put on the "night shift" began losing brain neurons.

Nature did not intend for us to work through the night!

I had a dream of being a corpse and hearing a beautiful women singing.

Time to pack Helpbot into one of those roller coaster cars, and yank out the safety bar . . . his trajectory should be most interesting to watch!

Some mundane musings on oils.

Yes, Helpbot, I was seriously considering jumping into one of those quart containers of Mobil 1 5W - 20 oils and slipping below the surface . . .

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I change the oil,
And miles to go before I change the oil.

Itโ€™s kind of hard to stay positive when literally everyone is being negative around you.

I tend to do the same.

I have, however, been doing a lot of introspection as the year was closing, trying to search my mental record for mistakes I made, and how I would do things differently in the future.

There were both pluses and minuses. I went to Africa three times on missions to aid the UN, and I think those turned out rather well. I went with Mrs. Sherlock to some beautiful sights, such as Little River Canyon in Alabama, where I learned that a range of mountains existed on the Eastern seaboard about 1,100 million years ago, and were as tall or taller than the Himalayas (the Grenville Mountains), and we also explored some remote areas where Bigfoot was reported to have been sighted. We didn't even see Littlefoot, however, much less Bigfoot. Where would Bigfoot buy his shoes, anyway? And we experienced that partial eclipse at our location, when everything was bathed in this eldritch midday light . . . most unusual, indeed!

And I closed out my PI business, letting one of our partners have it. We all did. One must choose one's partners very, very carefully--and even then there are no guarantees.

Well, of course, there was more, but these were the highlights. I am hoping that 2018 will be a better year.

Here we are, living in the Third Millennium, and things seem like they should just be better than they are!
