Huckleberry Licorice, My Montana Vacation Addiction
Huckleberries are big in Montana. My cousin introduced this Wiley Wallaby huckleberry licorice to me while on vacation. My friends, it’s addictive. It’s hard to find here in Tennessee so it was mail ordered. It’s not cheap. This is definitely a splurge.
Star Trek Anniversary – To Boldly Go And Live Long And Prosper
Star Trek Day is about celebrating a visionary science fiction TV show on September 8, which had the broadcast premiere of the series on that day in 1966. The day is celebrated by fans across the world to acknowledge the cultural impact of the Star Trek franchise.
Since the original series there have been spinoff series such as The Next Generation, Discovery and Strange New Worlds that continue the story that creator Gene Roddenberry brought to life fifty-nine years ago.
As a fan of the series, I have been impacted by its morality, social justice, and dedication to inclusion. Without Star Trek, the world would be different. It’s ultimate statement of creating a world in which all can take part is the Vulcan concept of infinite diversity in infinite combinations. We need that now more than ever these days. Thank you, Star Trek, for showing us a better way forward. May we Boldly Go as we Live Long And Prosper as we head into Star Trek’s 60th anniversary in 2026.
Star Trek is the story of the future we must find our way towards. I think God would want that too.
It’s A Monday Minions!
Hello fellow Minions, it’s Monday again. Let’s have the best day possible. Love and peace to you all today.
Farewell David Gibbs, You Will Be Missed Friend
David Gibbs, a friend of the family, passed away on September 4th. This is a good man who loved God, family, community and his alma mater The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He is a kind and caring person who was a teacher, leader, organizer and musician, photographer and so much more.
David, who is on the left and my dad, who is on the right, are a couple of University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Mocs alumni and fans who are reunited in heaven. I predict they are talking about football, basketball, and so many other things. I hope my dad is taking David to the best tailgate locations in heaven. Rest in peace, David. I miss you, dad.
Windows 10, Your Time Has Come
Microsoft Windows 10 will reach its End of Support (EoS) on October 14, 2025. My wife’s computer this week had to be upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
At home, we are a Linux/Android/Chrome OS family so we don’t run Windows or iOS outside the office. We have some older hardware that would struggle to keep up with the resource hogs that are Windows machines.
I found this meme on Facebook that shows the lament of people who really liked Windows 7 and didn’t want to upgrade to Windows 10. Those same people now don’t want Windows 10 to go away. I like Windows 10, but I think my Linux Mint 22.2 Dell desktop works just fine for my needs. A lot of older hardware will fall by the wayside because of Windows 11’s heavy resource and technology demands.
It will be an interesting few days in October to see what people will do when they have to upgrade. I suggest Linux Mint because it is less bloated, and it’s a solid and familiar feel too. Of course, many will buy new machines when they don’t have to if they will embrace an alternative.
