Shutdown & Ukraine

Today is Shutdown day in the U.S. I've seen videos with massive crowds in major cities. I hope that smaller cities are participating as well.

It's been a tougher time the last three days at home. Joan has had some hallucinations of things that never happened, and it takes all of my energy to try to help her see that. This dementia is really incredible. The way it works on different parts of the brain.

Most of the snow is gone now, so it's just gray and cloudy daily. It's really quite boring.

Last night, I had a problem with one of my external drives. No matter what I tried, it didn't fix the problem. In desperation, I told my problem to Gemini(AI). After an hour of instructions, it seemed to work until I tried to copy a file into it, and then it froze. I will have to bother my IT friend next week.

Meanwhile, Ukraine.

Trump said Putin agreed to a 7-day stoppage in the war. However, Putin said it will be only 2 days.    

(Then he will return to killing civilians)
