Prairie Pasture January 1st 2024
Yes the land is looking considerably dry and without the usual foot of snow cover. It provides farmer/rancher families of the prairie land some concern as to the 2024 moisture levels. Some folks anticipating continuing drought have sold off the bulk of their cattle herds as there simply will not be the required feed for them. While it is true feed for cattle can be purchased but doing so destroys the potential profit margins.
Other farming families are content to watch and wait and see if the Easter blizzards show up before making farming decisions for the 2024 crop year.

Yes as a matter of fact I am very pleased to see the advancements in Technology. Yes I do see great advantages for AI and Robotics doing repetitive menial warehouse labor. However I am also a realist and can see we are a long way away from AI and Robots eliminating humanity. That is a media fear in the category of “Henny Penny and the sky is falling!”
Some might look at these ebooks as nothing more than fearmongering. For those that do I refer you to the ongoing Vancouver Canada earthquakes, Southern California earthquakes, Japan earthquakes and Tsunami, Iceland earthquakes and Volcano and by recent counts forty six other active volcanoes around the world. It’s just a matter of when.

The beginning of a New Year is a time when many folks make New Year’s Resolutions. Frankly I don’t know why as most promptly forget them as soon as made and do not follow through on them anyway. Seems like a form of “public admission” of ones shortcomings to be shared with friends and family while they continue on with no change whatsoever.
However there is one aspect of this annual exercise which may have some value which is the “taking personal stock” of your lot and perhaps letting go of some refuse while focusing on those higher priorities and aspects of the day. A kind of metaphysical housecleaning if you will whereby you clean up your mental room of junk to reduce distractions and increase focus on specific items.
With that in mind I’m going to take the dog’s out for run and do my own mental housekeeping.
All the very best for you in 2024
