Ya it sux,here in southern Ontario, I am about to try to go to Grocery store, If you dont here from me again I probably got into a fight with a security guy or cop because I refuse to follow arrows on the store floor or parking too long at Tim Hortons parking lot where they shoo you away if you stay in your car to drink coffee.

Thanks. It’s not all bad. My family is here so visiting them during this weird time is good. Did some ice fishing last week. Had a few fish fry evenings this week. Mostly doing a lot of work on the cabin. Keeps me busy:) wish we had more snow though so I could go skidoo-ing. Worst winter for snowmobiling but I don’t mind the mild temps anyway

DJ , I always marvel at a spider or ant on the floor, how it reacts and runs faster when my hand goes near it . It is tiny but still seems smart enough to get out of danger. I am wondering how much does that ant actually think or if it is all just sensory stimuli causing a reaction with all ant nerves wired together. This giving it the run away movement. OR is it in control by thinking Oh hell danger, get out fast! The spider must have some thinking going on to chase that ant ,captured in webbing saved for later to eat. I Mean I have used my new phone to zoom in on a spiders face, it almost looks evil and thinking with those beady eyes.xD  Wondering are we close to providing matching A.I. to a bug? Or all still just puppetry done with clever engineering?
