This 'n' that

- Hobbs School,  2005  -

I found myself talking to the laundry this morning. Not out loud, but I sent a thought to a pair of fuzzy pink socks that keep shredding into the load. "You better watch out or you'll go in the trash!" I told them. It was probably an empty threat, as they're very comfortable to wear. I leave tissues in pockets all the time and wash them, leaving bits on everything. I haven't quit using Kleenex, so the socks are probably safe.

I hashed over IREN changing from bitcoin mining to artificial intelligence. Sometimes it's called crypto mining, which doesn't seem like a word interchangeable with bitcoin mining, but I don't know what either one is, so potato, potahto. I also don't know what AI cloud is, but it's not important to my point. If this helps IREN to pay off their debt earlier, I would think that's good for the county. I'm not going to hurt my mind by thinking about it more deeply at this time. 

IREN's Sweetwater 2 site is out on FM 419 in Fisher County, by the old Claytonville gas plant. It seems like they're in a good position to change since it's still in the building phase. What do I know? Nothing.

I hit a benchmark in December. I've been writing on this here website for 20 years. I posted the first photo used on the blog, taken in 2005. It's of the Hobbs School, which was being used for a multi-county GED program at that time. It was sold in 2012 to the Gordon Family, who continue to own it.
