Welcome to our book, a unique collaboration between a human and advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. In this book, we delve into the life and legacy of Victor Hugues, a French revolutionary leader and one of the most intriguing figures of the 18th century. Utilizing the language generation capabilities of ChatGPT, we bring to life the story of Victor Hugues and his role in the French Revolution, the rise and fall of his political career, his impact on the Caribbean Island of Guadeloupe, and his legacy in the history of South America. As author and assistant, we have combined the power of AI to generate human-like language with our own knowledge and research to provide an in-depth exploration of Victor Hugues’ life, actions, political ideologies and the impact of his decisions. From his early years to his rise to power, this book covers it all, providing a comprehensive understanding of one of the most enigmatic figures of the French Revolution.

I think you will love it. Twelve Librarians from different countries, different walks of life, and different times.

[From the back cover]

This book tells the story of twelve librarians who live in different cultures, times and lands.

“The Librarians” depicts the important role that librarians play in their individual societies. The author shows the various ways in which these librarians assist us in understanding each other, or in other situations, misunderstand each other.

In addition to its engaging dialogues, “The Librarians” also tackles some important themes, including the value of libraries in the digital age and diverse communities. These themes are explored in an artful and intuitive way, making the book a meaningful and thought-provoking read.

Overall, we highly recommend “The Librarians” to anyone who loves good stories.

It’s an inspiring read that will leave you searching various and strange places for similar libraries.

NEW GLOBE

Hi folks! I know this is not at the top of your list, however, it is in my wheelhouse, so, I thought I would run it up the flagpole to see if it waves, because nobody’s gonna’ sell me the sleeves off their vest without my looking in the gift-horse’s mouth first and with that said let me get on to the crux of the story.

I met a fellow at the Polish Club yesterday afternoon; you know, the one on Prospect Street. No, the fellow does not reside on prospect street – the Polish Club does.

Anyway he has this brilliant plan for a new business that will put the Triple Cities back on the map. I refuse to call it Greater Binghamton because, well, have you looked at Binghamton lately? It has suddenly – or possibly not so suddenly – become Lesser Binghamton. Please don’t confuse that with Lestershire, which was renamed Westover, absorbed by the Town of Union – which, by the way – is probably bigger than Greater Binghamton. Well, the Town of Union has 59 employees not counting the Muckety-Mucks. The City of Binghamton has about 750 employees and is one third the size of the Town of Union. Go figure!

But as usual, I digress. The mind goes skedaddling of to the side every once in a while.

So, this guy I met on Prospect Street. He has a great idea for teaching the kids geography. He has invented a globe that is the actual size and dimensions of the Earth. Not to worry! He lets the air out of it when it is not in use. That is his first model. He has rented a warehouse in Elmira to store the first one-hundred. (He couldn’t find a warehouse in Johnson City because they were all purchased by New York State – and friends – for the expansion of Binghamton University [which doesn’t reside in Binghamton but rather in Vestal]. These are being manufactured in an empty room in an old mall that will – or will not – be identified at a later date; although Bob Joseph probably has a lead on the story.

But to get on with this great news, each city on these blow-up globes will have the exact number of residents that reside in the actual cities on Earth. To keep the spirit of the model in sync with the actual Earth, he also has included five full-sized oceans. I thought there were only four, but he convinced me that the water around Antarctica qualified as an ocean; frozen or not. Anyway, his blow-up Earth has five oceans.

When these globes hit the marketplace they will include a warning written by lawyers (of course) that tell the parents of the children who will own them [no, the children will not own the parents, the children will own the globes] a warning to not let the kids blow these up in the house. The Himalayan Mountains will definitely ruin the plastered ceilings and possibly cause the upstairs plumbing to leak.

They are really meant as an outside toy, not your typical board games such as Parchisi. Who the heck ever named that game should be put in stockades; right next to the people who upgraded Dunk’n Donuts rewards last month (OH MY GOD! HAVE YOU TRIED USING THAT THING YET?)

Anyway, with all these models of the earth being blown up (no, not the explosion type of blown up) we shouldn’t have to worry about global warming because there will be plenty of Earth’s to move to.

Thank you for reading this. I have to leave now.

They are coming to take me away, oh-no, they’re coming to take me away.

How lucky can a man get?

Here I sit, watching a cold western wind, clashing with an eastern heat wave. The weather people tell me to run and hide.

I choose to do no such thing.

Instead, I will torture you with another self-promotion.

They say you can lead something to somewhere to drink. I hope that is true, because all I can do is tempt you with the following information.

This link is for those who reside or purchase their books in the USA.

VERDANT PALACES: A Classical Love Story in the Adirondacks Based on William Henry Hudson’s 1904 Masterpiece: Tomosky, Waldo, Hudson, William Henry: 9798449729712: Amazon.com: Books

Now this link is a bit different. It is for those who purchase their books in Australia

VERDANT PALACES: A Classical Love Story in the Adirondacks Based on William Henry Hudson’s 1904 Masterpiece : Tomosky, Waldo, Hudson, William Henry: Amazon.com.au: Books

In either case; ENJOY!

This book is straight forward. It tells about life and death; pleasant and unpleasant.

There are bare-faced truths and hidden truths.

It is your responsibility to seek them out.

It speaks of all incidents of life – – and death and pain – – of both kinds.

You will not forget the word-pictures of life’s other side.

Philosophical, truth

OK Folks – here it is. The big story of course. And what a story it is.

No more dog food on my dinner table. I will be LIVING BIG on the royalties that I earn on this one.

But, of course, I will need your help.

“How?” you ask.

Simply by reviewing the book mentioned above and, in the link below. You should have no trouble reading the first several pages by clicking on the ICON that says “LOOK INSIDE”. If you don’t like the book, then what more could I ask of you?

However, it you do like, purchase it. That will mean my diet of dog food will be replaced by the proverbial five fruits, five vegetables, and I hope, some protein (other than that shown on the label of the dog food can).

Thank you for your understanding.

Egalitarianism, Utopianism and Other Such Nonsense

19 Tuesday Jan 2021

Posted by Waldo "Wally" Tomosky in Uncategorized

This, that, - - - and the other thing

egalitarianism

To profess an ideal of perfect equality or harmony is nonsensical.

Likewise so is professing an ideal of perfect free trade or pure capitalism.

Ideals are perfect goals. They will never be reached. They are simply an idea that must be perfected through trial and error. It is all in the ‘doing’ of the ideal, not in the ‘end result.’

Even scientists and mathematicians realize that by ‘approximating’ a formula and then ‘approximating’ it again and again will they ever approach the truth. That is the truth in science. That also is the truth of humanity. There is no end to discovery. It is all approximation. We believe that we can jump to the end but there is no end; we just discover another path ‘towards’ the end.

Those who preach that egalitarianism, utopianism, or pure free trade can be reached in one generation only fool themselves while they are trying…
