1.? Is there any cause you would dedicate your life too?

I cannot think of a single thing that might exclude all other things...depending upon how we define?'thing'. I try to understand life in all things, but that is one thing that is really everything and so it is not really a cause in the common sense of the word, I think.?

2.? Are you concerned about North Korea sending troops to assist Russia in it's battle with Ukraine?

Just another step along the path. More concerning than China bumping ships in the Pacific, but not as concerning?as te deployment of battlefield nukes would be. I am curious where it will go, but not concerned in the sense of worrying about it.

3.? Do you think Biden's comment about garbage will have any effect on the election?

I think everything and nothing has effects on?the election. I do not think anything from cult mentality to ballot burning to computer viruses to manmade hurricanes to off-color comments has an overwhelming impact. I, for instance, have not even checked to see what this comment was.

The hype has been overdone and is now just dreary background noise.

4.? Are you concerned about illegal voting this week?

No. I am concerned about the code my truck threw indicating a cylinder misfire, though.

5.? What are your plans for the holiday season?

We will be staying at an RV park in the U.S. Southwest with some friends?who are laying over there.

1.? Is there any cause you would dedicate your life too?

Making enogh money to get my grandchildren throgh high school is my last goal.

2.? Are you concerned about North Korea sending troops to assist Russia in it's battle with Ukraine?

Yes - it simply is another enlargement of an ongoing mess.? Ukraine requested Tomahawk cruise missles today - which would allow them to strike anywhere tithin a thousand mies.

3.? Do you think Biden's comment about garbage will have any effect on the election?

It seems to have so far - Trump putting on a safety fest and riding in a garbage truck was absolutely priceless.!


4.? Are you concerned about illegal voting this week?

Very much so - I don't think there has been a substantially clean presidential election since 1984.


5.? What are your plans for the holiday season?


Same as alweys - work.

1.? Is there any cause you would dedicate your life too?
I guess you could say I've done that with Mensa Hawai¡®i. I started out in 1984 by becoming the newsletter editor and that has continued to the present. However, now I am also in my second term as group LocSec (President). I've also held every other office on the Executive Committee. I also host some events every month.

2.? Are you concerned about North Korea sending troops to assist Russia in it's battle with Ukraine?
Somewhat. I don't think those troops will be able to do much. They are not in good shape and they haven't had much training.

3.? Do you think Biden's comment about garbage will have any effect on the election?
Not really. He's not the one running for office.

4.? Are you concerned about illegal voting this week?
Only from Republicans

5.? What are your plans for the holiday season?
I have no big plans. I've been recovering from hip replacement surgery and haven't had time to think about it. And I'm already in a beautiful location.

Aloha,
Celeste Rogers


 

Sorry about your hip, Celeste. I hope the new one works ten times better than the old!

I applaud your contributions?to nurturing intelligence in your community. I feel that if humanity (and we alien species) have a chance to unjumble to global insane chaos, it will be because leaders applied objective, mindful intelligence to the problem-solving with limited regard for personal?short-term gratification (the consumer?culture.)
