It has been more than a decade since I hiked up the City Creek Trails in Pocatello, Idaho. I had gotten out of shape and gained a lot of weight, but I’ve recently lost some weight and felt like getting back on the trails. Unfortunately I discovered that my favorite part of the trail is now permanently closed to allow for ‘natural restoration’:
Finally, the final (late) Christmas car gift build, for 2023, is done! And it is a fine example of why, back-in-the-day, some kit builders did not like AMT.
Video-1, a little late, but finally!:

On 22MAR2024, my middle daughter Aryssa, along with my dog Struppi (and I) took a hike through the thawing Cherry Springs Nature Area, in Southeastern Idaho.
There was a heavy-wet snow storm a few weeks prior, causing power poles and trees across the region to snap, the South Trail was littered with downed branches and trees:
I went through U.S. Army basic training in 1982 (Fort ‘Lost-in-the-Woods’, Missouri), and at the end of a rough day the Drill Sergeants would yell “Attitude check!”, and we would always respond “Fuck it!”. In many ways those were better days than today.
On the 15th-16th of March 2024, Idaho State University (ISU)-College of Technology Automotive Program held its ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show. This is just a couple of the many Hot-Rods in the show.
Resolution A/HRC/55/L.30 also denounces the use of artificial intelligence (A-I) in combat as it might be a cause of international human rights crimes.
But the UNHRC is a paper tiger, any resolution adopted by the UNHRC has no legal standing.
28 UNHRC countries voted in favor, six against (including the United States), and 13 abstentions.
02APR2024 White House presser, Admiral (retired) John Kirby gets frustrated with the barrage of questions concerning Israel’s attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria, supposed U.S. aid for Gazans, but especially about the execution of World Central Kitchen workers by Israel.

More proof God is Evil as Israeli military leaders are now blaming their never ending, and obviously specifically targeted, war-crime attacks on civilian charities operating in Gaza.
The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) is calling their Artificial Intelligence (A-I) assassination machine ‘Lavender’. They admit the computer brain ‘Lavender’ has an error rate of ten percent!
Did an Israeli program Lavender to consider everybody in Gaza as a terrorist? Remember, A-I is created by humans.
Re-education? Soviet style? Chinese Communist style? Corporate Capitalist style? It’s getting so you can’t tell a commie pinko from a blue blood capitalist!
Non-declared Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).

In 1970 (Cold War), the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena opened; the ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome. In 1988 (Cold War), the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome. In January 2024 the name was changed, again, to ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded mostly by the financial institution.
