Eden Haiku: I'm so awkward with a trackpad. I just wanted to extinguish the fire in the wood stove of my yurt (it's almost 90 F here) . Ended up deleting the fire screen. Found it it lost objects and now it's floating around...

Adams Rubble: time for the Iggles

Eden Haiku: Auto-miscomplete is a great term Riddle!

Riddle Sideways: was 85F yesterday morning when leaving for inland hotter areas

Adams Rubble: oh my

Riddle Sideways: Nobody there would look at a termometer

Riddle Sideways: for fear

Adams Rubble: do they have air conditioning in the inland hotter areas?

Eden Haiku: Leonard Cophen wrote The Tower of Song, but we are scripting "The Tower of Babble"

Riddle Sideways: the house there did, but the hoard of people at party were outside

Riddle Sideways: guitar player was dizzy and would not play until cooler

Eden Haiku: Climate emergency issues of guitar players claiming cool temeperatures

Riddle Sideways: yes

Eden Haiku: Lilacs didn't last, they are withering already...

Eden Haiku: And they appeared so late. We vwere

Eden Haiku: we were still almost in winter a while ago

Adams Rubble: it seemed all the Spring flowers had a short life this Spring although they were spectacular while they lasted

Eden Haiku: Cooler outfit Adams?

--BELL--

Adams Rubble is wary of what happned to guitar player

Eden Haiku: Me too, listening :)

Riddle Sideways: sent him into nearby house for bathroom and he found A.C so did not come back for about a half hour

Adams Rubble: smart guitar player

Eden Haiku: smart, yes!

Adams Rubble: Californians used to spending time outside

Riddle Sideways: some

Adams Rubble: Here the mosquitoes and ticks lurking outside

Riddle Sideways: he is an optometrist, works inside all day

Adams Rubble: ohhh

Eden Haiku: Unusual weather everywhere. In Finland, near the Artic circle, they had almost 90 degrees last week...

Eden Haiku: Mosquitoes are lurking yes, for our fresh blood...à

Riddle Sideways: Of course the usual thing happened. When it is 103F, the old timers will start ... "Welllll, back in 07 we had that 117F for 123 days"

Riddle Sideways: and everybody feels better/cooler

Eden Haiku: No! 117F for 123 days????

Riddle Sideways: no, but they often sound that way

Eden Haiku: That'"s proper inferno!

Eden Haiku: Phewww!

Riddle Sideways: there was a day that hit 117

Eden Haiku: That's hot!

Adams Rubble: that's a dry 117 though isn't it

Eden Haiku: Our bodies have trouble adapting to these weather highs and lows, quite sudden sometimes...

Riddle Sideways: remember driving (with A/C on) and watching the outside termometer while going south

Riddle Sideways: yep, body has trouble adapting

Riddle Sideways: heard something about Lake Ontario shoreline is putting up sandbags/etc. against raising levels

Adams Rubble: When it gets hot, need to sit back with a cold drink and read "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"

Adams Rubble: Great Lakes has TOO MUCH water

Adams Rubble: all the people moved to California and there is no one there to drink it now

Riddle Sideways: a Mint Julep and a book

Riddle Sideways: ㋡

Riddle Sideways: is an issue that richer people own the nice shoreline houses

Eden Haiku: Went to a Native Indians ceremony on Saturday. (We call them First Nations up here). There was a Mayan woman shaman who sang a water song for all the disappeared indigenous women and one woman started to sob. It was heart-wrenching,

Adams Rubble: the more money the rich have, the more they tear down some of the great architecture of the country to build something bigger

--BELL--

Riddle Sideways: thank you both, but that pause was sad, hard

Eden Haiku: Wondering how to drag out my fire screen from the water of the fountain :(

Eden Haiku: Yes sad, Riddle.

Riddle Sideways: in the name of Religion and Golf courses ... the lesser have to be removed

Adams Rubble: I might be able to return it to you if you would like me to try

Adams Rubble: whoops, brb

Eden Haiku: ok Adams :0

Eden Haiku: Please, when you come back :)

Riddle Sideways: don't see the object, think you are 'Wearing' it

Eden Haiku: Ah!

Riddle Sideways: try inventory->Current Outfit

Riddle Sideways: and detach

Riddle Sideways: yes, it is moving with you like it is worn

Eden Haiku: Was, on my right hand, thanks

Eden Haiku: Thank you Riddle :)

Riddle Sideways: after all these years, might have learned a small thing

Eden Haiku: Lucky you. I seem to have lost the few minimal skills I developed in the first year ...

Adams Rubble: it is very wet outside here

Riddle Sideways: years ago had laptop trackpad issues while typing

Riddle Sideways: and fixed it someplace in Windows

Riddle Sideways: now laptop is a Linux OS

Riddle Sideways: and has the same issue again

Eden Haiku: Will try to hook up my Mighty Mouse to this laptop, ortherwise, with only a trackpad, every action is sooo difficult

Adams Rubble: I recently read about indigenous women disappearing in Canada. Do they know hat exactly is happening?

Eden Haiku: No jack for ordinary mouse on this laptop and Mighty Mouse is an old one...

Riddle Sideways: have been hearing those stories also, Adams

Riddle Sideways: but not sure what time periods are being talked

Riddle Sideways: current or historical or both

Adams Rubble: I had the idea it is now

Eden Haiku: The dissapeareances are so distressing Adams. Thousands of them on a span of 20 or 30 years. Mostly killed by their companions, brothers, fathers, police officers. The killers go unpunished. They have been calling this "a genocide",

Eden Haiku: Both historical and now.

--BELL--

Adams Rubble: this is incredible

Eden Haiku: The way we treat indigenous is appalling. No clean water, no resources. They can 't hunt anymorem, they can't go fishing anymore. They live in dilapidated houses.

Riddle Sideways: oh dear, googleing that gives so many and very bad stories

Eden Haiku: Whole villages without electricity even. Which is abundant here...

Adams Rubble: this is very upsetting

Adams Rubble: can not believe this is happening in CVanada

Eden Haiku: It's a real deep issue, muddy waters. It started with the India Law by John MacDonald, early 20th century.

Eden Haiku: Racism

Riddle Sideways: happens in US also, but no Inquiry

Riddle Sideways: at least Canada labeled it Genocide and is talking about it

Riddle Sideways: have a government Inquiry

Riddle Sideways: the US Open Golf tournament is starting here, on land of the indigenous people killed so long ago by that now saint

Eden Haiku: Yes. Was looking for a link but there is a lot of propaganda laced with everything I find. Sir John MacDonald declared Canada had "to kill the Indian in the child" voted the Indian Law so that Natives were taken away from their family, forced to learn English (French in Quebec) and never allowed to speak their native languages.

Adams Rubble: The US had Indian schools too

Adams Rubble: forced children away from culture

Riddle Sideways: Isn't Genocide one of those things that happens way of the 'There'

Riddle Sideways: not here

Riddle Sideways: not us

Eden Haiku: This seems like a reliable source: https://www.ictinc.ca/blog/10-quotes...-first-nations

Eden Haiku: The use of the word genocide is quite controversial. It's more ordinary racism from governments, ill treatments and so on

--BELL--

Eden Haiku: There few genocides; The Shoah, Armenian genocide, Rwanda...

Eden Haiku: But this is "a kind" of genocide. Feminice rea;

Eden Haiku: Feminicide really.

Riddle Sideways: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missin...digenous_women

Eden Haiku: Like for the women of Ciudad Juarez

Eden Haiku: Thank you Riddle. The article seems very up to date., TRhe report of the commission happened only a few days ago.

Riddle Sideways: have an Inquiry, Commision and Report ! ok done

Eden Haiku: And then, do nothing...

Riddle Sideways: so sad

Eden Haiku: Not even clean drinkable water

Eden Haiku: Not even electricity

Eden Haiku: No jobs

Eden Haiku: No money

Eden Haiku: No activities

Eden Haiku: Nothing to do

Eden Haiku: Except drugs

Eden Haiku: And alcohol

Eden Haiku: Raping and killing

Eden Haiku: Being left alone by the police

Eden Haiku: The police doing as lot of raping too and killing

Riddle Sideways: Well, they had a piece of paper once. it took the fertile rich land away for 99 years for $1

Eden Haiku: The missiionnaries as w4ell

Riddle Sideways: then another piece of paper took that away

Eden Haiku: Yep!

Eden Haiku: heavy Monday morning, sorry guys :(

Riddle Sideways: Like the entire South Florida, including Miami, including Maralockgo Trump Golferia

Eden Haiku: ah yes ;(

Adams Rubble: Sigh, this has been a rough session :(
