White Water Rafting Bow River, Banff, Alberta
Yes I know you and the family are quite comfortable with the calm and relaxed summer routine of lake and cabin life, a little fishing, boating, swimming, and basic water lounging in the lovely +30 C temps. Perhaps even an occasional hike for an ice cream cone or such.
You are well advised and to be congratulated to just shut off the TV sewer box, only touch your iPhone twice at the beginning and end of the day and give your mind a rest from the constant flow of societal detritus bombarding us twenty-four seven. Take in the splendor of nature and your real surroundings, set out some bird treats in a tall feeder to discourage the squirrels and neighbor’s cat. And be sure to use the BBQ regularly so the bees don’t try to make a hive in it. Set aside the artificial plastic societal outrage/protest world spun by those attempting profit and control. Stick to the real world simple pleasures for a couple of months for rest, recreation and renewal of energy resources and mental health. And make some “special memories” with the family, ok?
D.A.R.I.A. is a super human Artificial Intelligence Artilect entity that learns, recognizes, monitors, controls, evaluates, and recommends at levels that humans can only envy. Matt, Frosty, Daria with the Artilect intelligence of Muther and the sisters, are faced with Emergency repairs of an ailing Trade Station. At the same time Matt is offered a very lucrative assignment on a small REE (Rare Earth Element) rich planet to broker a mining agreement. What seems like a straight forward assignment goes sideways with deceit and turns into an ongoing train wreck. Pirates bring the risk of death and the mining company is not as it might seem on the surface. D.A.R.I.A. BOOK FIVE is the fifth book in this exciting series of Matt Southam and Daria the sentient AI computer system. If you loved Ex Machina, Her, or F.R.I.D.A.Y. from Iron Man, then you will be thrilled by this new Martin E. Silenus book.

There are those people who insist we are the top of the food chain and the only life form in the Galaxy. I find that highly improbable and unlikely seeing as how we don’t even know what is in our oceans. If you cannot catalog the creatures of Earth why would you think you have any credibility at all regarding other life form in the Galaxy? For insight into space, galaxies and beyond visit Beyond the Stars.
Oh and hey, don’t forget to splash your children at every opportunity. Let the child in you out to play and to burn energy in the most wonderful fundamental way with your family. And in the quiet of the evening when the kids have tipped over and are sound asleep and you are sitting on the deck with a glass of wine reflecting on how fine life is and how fortunate you are, you might even read a couple of chapters of a very good book. Just to kick start your imagination before you too drift off into the arms of Morpheus.
Best
