Slight Return
From 19 DIY Brainiacs Who Came up with Genius Solutions by Nathan Johnson, msm.com:
Headline from nypost.com: “Inside the wild race to power AI with rat brains and ocean waves — as physicists close in on nuclear holy grail.” DT is on board for all of it.
Lest we forget — excerpt from a newsmax.com article by Jim Mishler: “AAA reported that the all-time record for the highest average price of gas in the U.S. remains $5.01 a gallon, set on June 14, 2022, during the administration of former Democrat President Joe Biden.” Currently, it is $4.04, its highest ever level this late in the calendar year. If it doesn’t fall soon voters will likely take it out on incumbents, and Congress will again be ruled by those who set the all-time record.
Headline from foxnews.com out of Fort Worth: “Major airport adding Islamic foot wash stations inside terminal bathrooms.” May they all get athlete’s foot.

One of the things I asked Google this week: What is the meaning of “Slight Return” in the title of Jimi Hendrix’s Voodoo Chile? Here’s what Google AI Mode said: “…the track is a shorter, faster, and more intense reprise of the album’s earlier 15-minute slow-blues jam,.. Hendrix recorded the fast closing track the day after the initial studio jam session, using the familiar themes as a “slight return” to finish out the double album. The shorter version, a masterpiece I still consider ahead of its time, is 5:12. Photo from Google Images:
Similar conditions to yesterday, a refreshing breeze blowing through the Anti-Inflation Book Shop. My thanks to the woman who overcompensated me for Night Road by Kristen Hannah, The Establishment by Howard Fast and Practice Makes Perfect by Julie James; and to the one who bought Fix-It with Food: More Than 125 Recipes to Address Autoimmune Issues and Inflammation by Michael Symon and Douglas Trattner, and a cook book in Russky; and to the woman who donated a handful of books as I was packing up; and to the one who picked up the eight volumes of Pushkin she’d bought the other day, and who gave me a bottle of Pellegrino as a thank you for holding them.
