THANKS for sharing MICHAEL ~ Remember all AI has to be programmed by H Sapiens Sapiens. Therefor it can never be more stupid or more wise than HSS ! I am only one-third through my span (105) and I have survived thus far in cooperation with Humans & Increasingly Robots but in University Circles & Political Squares it is increasingly difficult to tell them apart. Our new coffee machine ~ which replaced Theresa for the peat Fields of Kerry ~ serves 30 separate beverages ~ often all at the same time and often in the same cup

Very true Michael, AI is a loss of interpretation of human values and wisdom.

True. Here our supermarkets are putting in many self serve checkouts. To replace cashier\'s. Taking jobs away and also I am sure not every item will get a scan before being tossed in the plastic bag. Stupid is the market that takes away supervision of out take to allow a self serve register to control check out. Great write Michael.

Thank UNCLE MICHAEL for a timely warning ~ AI is programmed by H. Sapiens and can never we wiser or stupider. I am only one third through my allotted span (105 years) but my instinct tells me that LIFE for the ubiquitous \"Homme de la Rue\" things won\'t be much different in 2088 (70 years time) than LIFE in 2018 ! At work for ELEVENSES (great institution) THERESA from the peat bogs of Ireland has been replaced by a ROBOT serving 30 different beverages ~ often simultaneously and in the same cup. I am a STOIC so I put in my EURO press the button and drink the product I love a 50:50 Tomato Soup / Hot Chocolate. The machine only takes EUROS because nobody has reprogrammed it for BREXIT ! C\'est la Vie ~ Every Blessing Nephew BRIAN & Niece Angela !

VERY DRAMATIC MICHAEL ~ Never tried Belladona Wine ! Tenebrous (dark - shadowy - obscure) gloom ~ Unsolved puzzles ~ Life\'s deep passions ~ Weight of Shadows ~Une poeme noire indeed ~ Yours BRIAN & ANGELA !

Michael,
A beautiful pic and a fine write with many great metaphors! I’ll have to be careful not to drink too much of that “NIGHTSHADE WINE”!
I’m lucky to be able to eat many nightshade fruits and vegetables without a problem! I would be at a loss not being able to eat tomatoes🍅and peppers🌶!

A fine write and pic M. I don\'t suppose it will make any difference to the fatal outcome if she added water to that wine? Meanwhile *gets out dictionary for tenebrous*.

dusk arising said:
Your writing today brought to mind how the scents of our countryside in blazing summer always bring to mind the joys of summers past. Childhood haymaking, teenage mischief making, adult love making, senior dream making.
Blissful.

This sums up the feared word of Contagion so well Michael - - fighting its spread has been the endeavour of devoted medics down through the ages. A compelling read .

dusk arising said:
Frightening yet quite natural. Reminiscent of my ex mother-in-law from whom there was no escape. Sooner or later one broke into a cold sweat of fear despite attempting the creation of a total exclusion zone. Gloved, suited and masked the transmission of the agonising symptoms always won through.
A timely amputation saved the day.
