Surgery Part Two

 



By the time you read this, I will most likely be in surgery this morning.  I ran a test and I notice when I write to my blog, many won't even see it because of Facebook Shadow Ban. As I mentioned in my previous post, I have left the Mt. Ephraim Spanish Congregation.  I have made provisions for Norma to continue attending the Cherry Hill Congregation. Me? I really serve no purpose and would not fit into any place, I may attend from time to time. Don't get me wrong, I  usually will never miss a meeting and I have my resources. By fading away from the congregation I will not be under the pressure of attaining service privileges that JW males are subjected to.

What will I do? maybe I will write, I like writing, but I will have to work around my neurological disorder to do so and there are many writing tools available for the handicapped.  I may even return to University for a 3rd Or maybe I will die on the surgery table of an unseen event. Amor Fati non? I am still In Jehovah's Hand under his mercy by Christ. He has the final say in all our lives.

As for my current job. I may not have one. Another problem for another day.  Yeah, I owe John a bushell of crabs.

The Long Mars

The Long Mars by Terry Pratchett My rating: 3 of 5 stars "The Long Mars," the third installment in the Long Earth series, continues to expand the already vast canvas of Pratchett and Baxter's creation. While the concept of "Joker Mars" – echoing the familiar "Joker Earths" – is intriguing, it's just one of three distinct narrative threads woven throughout this book. We follow Sally Linsay on a journey across the Martian Stepped worlds, unraveling the mysteries her father, Willis, seeks. This exploration of the alien landscapes of the Long Mars is certainly compelling, but personally, it was the storyline involving "The Next" that truly captivated me. Joshua Valiente's arc, which delves into the emergence of these post-human children, is where the book really shines. It's a powerful exploration of prejudice, fear, and the potential societal clashes that arise when faced with the "other." The authors masterfully tackle ...

Review of Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky My rating: 2 of 5 stars Review of Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky Children of Ruin is a masterful sequel to Children of Time, continuing the author’s ambitious exploration of humanity’s legacy and the uncharted complexities of life beyond Earth. This novel dives deep into hard science fiction, weaving intricate themes of advanced technology, speculative biology, and the far-reaching consequences of human ambition.

Originally seeded by humanity with the intent of accelerated evolution, these octopuses have transformed into something extraordinary. Their society and technology showcase a rich cultural tapestry, both familiar and distinctly alien, and they possess a profound understanding of their world and the co...

The Long Utopia

The Long Utopia by Terry Pratchett My rating: 3 of 5 stars In The Long Utopia, a novel in the Long Earth series, the artificial intelligences Agnes and Lobsang embark on a unique endeavor: adopting a human child, Ben, and attempting to build a normal pioneering life on one of the seemingly infinite parallel Earths. However, their peaceful existence takes a dramatic turn with the human pioneers discovering a peculiar species dubbed 'silver beetles'. These insects exhibit an unusual behavior of 'stepping down' to lower-numbered Earths. As the pioneers observe them, a terrifying realization dawns: the silver beetles are not merely migrating; they are systematically transforming their chosen parallel Earth into a colossal Dyson Motor, a structure designed to harness the star's energy. Lobsang, with his advanced analytical capabilities, understands the catastrophic implications. These silver beetles can step sideways to other parallel Earths, potentially converting an...
