We have our first literary club meeting today after the summer hiatus. I need some of my paperwork for the club still in storage from the house remodeling project. I will be making due with a couple of things I had stored on the computer.
I was able to finish the bulletin, I think. There was one normally standard part missing from the instructions I was given. But there is a refreshing part that could replace that portion of the bulletin.....just found out I overlooked the item in question, the scripture text, it was there all the while.
My September 24th photo challenge was the letter X, I used the X in an exit sign. I used some post processing with Photoshop to enhance the photo.I left for a bit to go to my literary club meeting. We had quite a group today. We have four new members. We need some fresh faces and it looks like we are going to get some. We will have some new ideas.
It was so chilly this morning that I not only put on a sweat shirt I turned on the furnace for the first time. I left it on for about an hour to warm the house a bit. Now that it is well past noon the air temps have come up considerably. That’s the way of things here in Ohio, it adds a bit of spice to life, sometimes welcome sometimes not so much.
The word is barrier. Oh God, how do the world and heavens confine themselves, when our hearts tremble in their own barriers, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Between the humble and contrite heart and the majesty of Heaven there are no barriers; the only password is prayer, Hosea Ballou. Happy season of virtuous youth, when shame is still an impassable barrier, and the sacred air-cities of hope have not shrunk into the mean clay hamlets of reality; and man, by his nature, is yet infinite and free, Thomas Carlyle. History shows how feeble are barriers of paper, John Lothrop Motley. Gold loves to make its way through guards, and breaks through barriers of stone more easily than the lightning's bolt, Horace. Come, blessed barrier between day and day, Dear mother of fresh thoughts and joyous health! William Wordsworth. The ocean of the body crashes against the ocean of the heart. Between them is a barrier they cannot cross, Rumi. One more, The vision of the eye is limited; the vision of the heart transcends all barriers of time and space, Ali ibn Abi Talib.
Robots can be amazing and lessen our labors. Buuut, It would be horrendous if somehow they take the place of all human thought and desire. The article today was about how the Ohio State University’s Artificially Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (AIMS) is exploring this kind of precessing the manufacturing field. It sound exciting and financially expedient in time. According to the article people don’t need to be afraid of robotics. They can be a benefit to the workforce and the world in general. The lab in this article is being supported by donations and industry sponsorships. This all got started with a study on improving the quality of products. That was the basic steps into other studies concerning the field of manufacturing. One of the early tests was automated machinery welding two plates together. A quote from the article is “...a place where academia and industry can almost learn to speak the same language...” It is hoped that it will be a time and place to study human and robotics together.
The photo challenge for today was the letter Y. After several searches for something yellow I chose the hard boiled eggs I used for the tuna salad I made earlier today. It fit the Y with yellow and with yolk.I think we will have vegetable soup (from the freezer with the recipe in an earlier blog) and tuna sandwiches, I made the tuna salad earlier to have some to take to the literary meeting this afternoon, for dinner.
