Synopsis:

Here's some of what we did on this program.

We talked about the heat domes causing big problems in the North American west and the never-ending wildfire season wearing out the fire fighters. We talked about my father fighting fires like that in the west long ago. The smoke from those fires caused serious air pollution in New York City.

We're in mid-Summer.

We talked about the ransomware attacks, and how the Revil criminals disappeared after Biden talked to Putin again.

We talked about the Billionaire Boy$ Roket Klub actually getting to the edge of space this time, but the FAA deciding not to hand out astronaut status to just any rich jerk.

We talked about a closeted sky pilot who was outed after people bought and examined data from data brokers who had aggregated data from advertisers and others. We talked about the danger of this type of things and the fact the law enforcement, the military and others can get a lot of information about an individual from this sort of exploit.

There is a Web page for this program.
