Data Centers

  That is the point, they don't need to use fresh water. Just water. Waste water can't be used for human consumption, but can be used for everything else. You are thinking in a box. I am not naive about anything, I understand all the factors. Factor 1. AI is the future, and data centers are the support for that computer network infrastructure, that is a given. 2. Those enters are coming whether the people like it or not, or else, ditch the computers and devices in your life, and that isn't going to happen. 3.

To My Mother

I would like to thank my mother for her unconditional love and understanding. My mother is and was a calming presence when my life when I was out of control. My mother is a genuine, compassionate, and loving person who had to put up with the likes of me in my youth. She deserved a better son, and I have tried to be the best son I could, but my personality and arrogance led me astray. My mother taught me how to spell, how to sew, wash dishes properly, cook, and manners. One of my many regrets is that I could have been a better child. So I would like to wish you a Happy Mother’s Day, Mother, and may it be as happy and as relaxing as you are loving and kind. Thank you for being my mother, and helping me through the dark years of my youth, and worst times of my life. I love you dearly mother .

My father was retired, and did the security for extra money. He and I both worked kennel security. He worked the day shift, and I worked the overnight shift. That consisted of sitting in your own vehicle and checking the area around and inside the kennel It was an easy job. The hardest part was staying awake.   One night I came on at 8pm instead of 11pm, and was paid for the 3 hours by the mid shift guy cause he had something to do. I ended up there until 1pm the next day. I worked a double plus the three. I went home tired, and found a note on the door that said everyone was at Yuma Regional Medical Center, with my sister having ...
