You never know ... be excited about it & it might inspire someone to go ... bring out the curiosity in them. On the other hand, if you have specific things you want to do bringing someone new might keep you from getting everything done. Pros & cons. Sometimes I look for someone who just wan...

You have time to get some friends together, maybe you can do a theme together. Always fun to have something to look forward to. -------- Aww, you are so sweet, I appreciate that.. But I'm kind of older side and I really don't have friends that care enough or have time to hang out with me. -- Yeah e...

Is your costume already for your Red Faire?

Oh wow!! a wet Halloween o: !!

Of course, I do xD !! I have a pirate outfit. It's something, I always wear to the Faire ( when I'm not Cast )

I go back to my original (imaginary?) observation. We were talking about castles and jousting, and wham, I'm fed AI images of Elon as a knight. I'm sure everything public here is gathered and fed into "the machine." And Elon/X has launched their AI Grok that does images based on prompts.....

More than likely, ... AI is everywhere now ... unfortunately it is only as good as its programmers & with so many hackers and cyber criminals I am worried for what AI will do in the future. On a brighter note, beautiful day out, schools are back in session so not so many tourists & quieter ...

[quote="galled"]Especially since the ones that mean to cause harm will not obey things like that... Stay safe! On another note, I've noticed a lot of knight illustrations popping up in my feeds lately. Could it be that we're being tracked and the AI is feeding us what we're interested in b...

Sometimes not much happening in a week is a good thing ... gives time to recharge or relax. Apparently Canada has such bad wildfires they are banning people from going into the forest & woodlands... kind of sad when you think about it. ------- True !! Relaxing is always good (within reason of c...

It's been an OK week.. I can't complain.. Not much happened xD

That looks like a castle alright! I'd imagine the hundreds of years old ones would be interesting just to learn about the solutions they came up with just for day to day stuff. Thanks for the link! Yeah, it seems many things meet that criteria that we don't even name castles. ------------ Yes!! And...

I've been to Hearst Castle ;) , but it's not what comes to mind when I think "castle." What was a learning moment for me was when I was in social studies back in Jr. High is that most of the images of castles I'd seen in movies/tv/media all of my life where not in England. Of course Japan...

I forgot there are actual Castle tours! I've seen documentaries on castles but I think it would put the history in a deeper perspective to actually see a castle. got to save our money & research which castles to travel to. ---------------------- Yeah Castle Tours :D !! - Documentaries of Castle...

One day I would like to visit a real castle, touch the walls that thousands of people may have touched through a thousand years... I'd imagine they would be cold to the touch & even clammy in some places. ---------------- Right? I love Castles and Would love to go on a Castle Tour.. And Take al...

I had to googles Fire Jousting and this came up. Fire Joust (Full Show) - Warwick Castle Halloween - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmwpJChsrkw Kewl! While clicking around I discovered Warwick Castle is in the UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warwick_Castle I would think a Ren Fair in the UK migh...

Sounds interesting! I've seen Hawaiian fire dancers before, that looks cool at night. ------------------- It is! And last time, I watched the Fire Joust.. I was so happy that they changed the story from the time before when I saw them.. - I mean it is also a completely different Jousting Company.. ...
