Look out any window

 any morning, any evening, any day (Lesh-Hunter)

it's one of those Box of Rain days.......i feel invigorated....i have time and i have energy.....i may take a swing at the great American novel.....or just spend more time on this wildly popular Blog.

One thing i love about AI is messing with Google's Chatbot and their AI mode search.......i ask deliberately bizarre questions just to annoy the robots....and see what type of jibberish they come back with.......i'm also hoping that when the robots go to Happy Hour across the street and sling back a few beers they tell funny stories about my questions......my top 3 lately have been 

which one of Bidens Uncles was eaten by Cannibals ?

What was the one thing Kamala Harris said she would do differently than Biden if elected President ?

How many Democratic politicians did Conservatives  assassinate during Jan 6th protests ? 

and of course , does 2+3=BEEER ? see the response below

No, in mathematics, 2 + 3 = 5

. The equation

$2+3=\text{BEEER}$

is a non-sensical, humorous phrase that is sometimes seen online and in meme culture, similar to other absurd math "problems." It's not a real or solvable equation

Finally , AI recognizes me as being ABSURD.....

anyway....i also intend to make Millions like Mikee Sherrill by daytrading in my accts.....now that i am no longer subject to my firms draconian restrictions......and although i love the blue chip high dividend players, i have also done extremely well the last 18 months with some technology stocks........i loaded up on PLTR at $30.......NVDA after the split at $120....VST at $160.....and some bitcoin and ethereum...

Today i want to share a home run play.....definitely a swing at the fences....not a sure thing....but i think a logical play...and i will share my reasons.

the stock is Aurora Innovations....symbol AUR...this is their analyst objective recap

Aurora Innovation, Inc. develops the Aurora Driver, which is designed as a platform to adapt and interoperate among a multitude of vehicle types and applications. The Aurora Driver is an advanced and scalable suite of self-driving hardware, software, and data services to transform the global transportation market. The Company has integrated the Aurora Driver into numerous different vehicle platforms designed to meet its requirements: from passenger vehicles to light commercial vehicles to Class 8 trucks. It intends to launch Aurora Driver for Freight, its driverless trucking subscription service, as its first commercial product. Its second core market focuses on passenger mobility, initially targeting the ride hailing space with Aurora Driver for Rides, its driverless ride hailing subscription service. Its third core market is local goods delivery, which spans several sub-segments, including last-mile parcel and post, prepared food, grocery, and business-to-business (B2B) delivery.

so the piece i am betting on is their driverless freight trucking subscription......America is buying more online and wants everything shipped to their front door asap.....America has a shortage of 18 wheel drivers......Sean Duffy is using ICE to stop and apprehend illegal aliens that are driving these trucks and putting ALL Americans  in danger.........the demand is there and will only increase.....AUR is already operating limited driverless freight service between Dallas-Austin-Houston......these trucks can drive all night without taking a break......24/7 back and forth and back again.....and no drivers union to pay/negotiate with........there is competition in the field although AUR seems to be the leader......whomever gets their first can basically write their own ticket...everyone from Amazon to Walmart would love to ship their goods from the San Diego ports to Athens Georgia without worry of an accident...liability or theft ....and here is the kicker.....i initially bought at $5.75   a share....their 52 week range has been from $4.75 to $10.75.........today it's in the low range of $5.45.........so nothing is given....but theres a good chance it could double just on speculation or a good story like it did back in February and go back over $10.......on the down side, it's only .70 cents above it's 52 week low.......so it probably won't dip much below that bottom ( famous last words)..............anyway....this is a risk........AI is wide open......but this one is a relatively cheap stock with real world potential.......driverless freight is coming mainstream in the next 5-10 years......AUR may not get there first.....but i think it's got a fair shot..........but like my college picks.....i have been wrong before.

2+3= an absurd Meme......oh...and BEEER

And it's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
Or leave it if you dare
And it's just a box of rain
Or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
And a short time to be there

Almost Heaven

Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze (J. Denver)

This morning i awoke to 53 degrees....the coolest it has been here since i moved........0% humidity.......not a single cloud in either of the 4 directions.....i donned a light sweatshirt , grabbed a cup of coffee and took my pal for a walk.......i let him linger over all the interesting smells he could find......i did not have to rush home and sign on.....i said a prayer as we walked....a prayer of thankfulness......nobody knows how long we will live, but this morning i made it to retirement.....and we all have lots of friends that did not......and so if i am gone tomorrow or enjoy another 5,10,15 or 20.....know that i experienced a day like today.......and i was grateful.

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong

Good Morning America

 how are ya ?

Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

and just like that i am on my way......

2+3= Amtrak BEEERS

Through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea
But all the towns and people seem
To fade into a bad dream
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his songs again
The passengers will please refrain
This train got the disappearing railroad blues

pigskin prognostications

 this is a big week for the American conf......a lot of games against the power 5, they need to hang tough and earn some respect......hopefully nobody gets embarrassed.

I like the Tulane Green Wave getting 11.5 at the grove in Ol Miss

I like Arkansas laying 7.5 at (where the hell is ) Memphis

and i think the Fightin Illini keep within a FG....take Illinois and the 6.5 at Bloomington against the Hoosiers

finally i do not believe oklahoma is sec worthy....i like Auburn on the road Plus the 6.5

Find the cost of Freedom

 buried in the ground ( Steve Stills)

we talk a lot about Freedom and more recently, Freedom of speech......it is probably the most misinterpreted amendment to the constitution ...when i was in 4th or 5th grade they explained to us that the right to Freedom of Speech does NOT mean you can go into the Fortway Theater on a Saturday Night and scream FIRE......I guess the rest of the world missed school that day.

All actions, including speech; have consequences.....people have been suing each other for slander/ liable since the beginning of lawyers......but this Jimmy Kimmel story is really gone down the wrong path...colbert too.....nobody has stopped or prevented Kimmel or colbert from spewing their nonsense......they can stand on any street corner , attend a protest and ask for a microphone or address any assembly that will have them......but CBS and ABC do not have to offer them the platform to do it.and or pay them a kings ransom.....if it were a popular opinion that people wanted to hear OR if it was the good comedy they were hired to produce.....they would still be on the air.....if the ratings were high and advertisers wanted to buy spots on their respective shows...they would still be on the air......but they were both hemorrhaging money and losing viewers.......maybe the country sees through their tired act.....maybe the country is tired of being lied to.....maybe some people are believing their eyes instead of their ears.

the other night on the FIVE Harold Ford lamented that President Trump did not address the nation after the assassination of Charlie Kirk and preach peace, reconciliation and trying to turn down the temperature.........my question to Harold is, if Trump had given that speech, how would it have been received ?  The Left and the MSM media are opposed to everything that Trump says or does....if he is opposed to crime, they are in support of criminals.......does Harold really think the left would listen and take his words to heart ?  does he really think Norah O'Donnel and the rest of those washed out hags wouldn't pick on something in the speech and find a group think negative response....does he really think Schumer, AOC and the moslem squad would not find fault in his words and dismiss the speech.....the truth is you really do reap what you sow........they have unabashedly united to fight Trump at every turn.......countless silly elections at the lowest level of govt have turned into candidates fighting against Trump....every candidate on the demon platform this November will have probably run an ad or two bashing their opponent for supporting Trump.......so even if he made that speech and even if in the hearts they agreed....they simply cannot say that out loud because it blows up their entire agenda.

no....Freedom isn't Free....but occasionally beeer is half price during Happy Hour.

2+3=BEEEER

Hope to see a nice group of lads one week from today at Dyker for the OLA outing....giddy up.

Mother earth will swallow you,

lay your body down

Vote for me

 and i'll set you free,

rap on brother, rap on  (The Temptations)

the good, the bad and the ugly benefits of having a doctored Firestick , is that i am still watching the NY channels for news every morning.....and so with that comes the political commercials this time of year.

Mikie Sherrill is a complete disgrace.......she is a deep rooted member of the democratic machine in the state, a state that her fellow demonrat Phil Murphy has run into the ground for 8 years....and yet she is running a campaign on all the great changes ( like freezing utility bills) that she will make.......if she had any "good" ideas then why wouldn't her pal Murphy implement them today? 

Truth is she fully endorsed the Green new Scam, and even went so far as to admit it will cost and arm and a leg, BUT you'll do it because you are a good person.......and now that utility bills in the state have tripled, she has no plan to address energy cost other than a price freeze.....waive the white flag and surrender to these new high costs, and freeze the prices so they energy providers eventually walk away from the state.....

The truth is , she is the white Kamala Harris....she has nothing.....when pressed by Marcia Kramer as to what's the first thing she would do as Governor she mumbled, bumbled and tossed a great word salad that would be the envy of Kamala....she finally said something about sending money back to the state to......to.....to do what what sweetheart ?  nothing.....she's running on her record as a former Navy helicopter Pilot and even recreates her time in uniform for her commercials ....side note, hero's don't have to remind people that they were once great.....true service speaks for itself.

she is a nothing burger.....the poster girl for DEI......no better than Biden announcing his VP will be a woman of color....ANY woman of color.

with mandani lurking across the river...if new jersey does not elect Cittarelli....it will get what they deserve.

2+3= a beverage, a beverage that adults like to drink, especially when it's hot or you are outside in the summer, because it's hot and you want something to drink, you know something that other people or even you might suggest is cold, a cold beverage and that's why we drink it...i think

Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything

And the band played on

So, round and around and around we go
Where the world's headed, nobody knows

pigskin prognostications

 i'm either the sharpest tool in the shed.......or the biggest sucker.

today i'm going against my gut and trying to outsmart the zen tricksters.

how the hell is the mighty Clemson only laying 2 1/2 ? not sure but i'm on the Buckhead bandwagon....i'll take the Ramblin Wreck of Georgia Tech, cause i wanna be mayor here.....

how the hell is mighty LSU only laying 6 1/2 against the God Awful Gators ?  not sure but i'm going with Bill Napier in a life or death struggle.......FLA plus the points.

all signs point to the USF Bulls running out of gas vs their 3rd straight ranked opponent to open the season............gimme the Convicts of Miami minus 17 1/2 big points..

and i'll give another all American 3 team parlay:

Charlotte minus 3 1/2 over Wooly Monmouth

Coastal Carolina + 9 1/2 over the Pirates of East Carolina

And the squids are not living on Tulsa time.....take Navy and give the Golden Hurricanes 14 1/2

2+3= BEEER
