and they all lived in little Boxes and they all looked just the same
This is part of the lyrics to a 1960s song that was a rallying cry of Baby Boomers then. It mostly meant "ACtually create a life you want to live. If you want a family create a family. If you want to travel then travel. Don't let your career destroy the rest of your life!"
For example, the BACK to the land movement that started in San Francisco and then moved all over the U.S. was based upon the fact that there was beautiful inexpensive land still available where people could build their lives where it wouldn't cost them as much and maybe they wouldn't have to ever have to pay a mortgage.
This philosophy was for college students my age so we could travel and own our own businesses and own our land outright and build our own houses and never have a mortgage which many people did then in the 1960s through the 1980s when this was the easiest to do then.
It was a way to move out into the beautiful countryside and buy land and build your own home so you never had to ever pay a mortgage and be imprisoned by this mortgage the rest of your life. I was one of the many people that did this and I still have friends in places like Mt. Shasta who did this in the 1970s and after and made a life for themselves then and have been able to travel the world ever since because they owned their own land outright and built their homes with their own hands and so any money they made could be spent traveling other places that they actually wanted to go visit.
So, today I don't know if this could work mostly because of Solar power has made even remote land much more expensive because almost anyone could now live off the grid with solar and a back up generator. This also increased the value of land everywhere too.
But, in the 1960s through the 1980s this idea worked great for many of us who had been to college and were self starters and capable of owning our own businesses wherever we lived in the U.S.
Russia is stockpiling weapons to intensify attacks on Ukraine, analysts say

Russia is stockpiling weapons to intensify attacks on Ukraine, analysts say
Kyiv — A daytime Russian attack on Ukraine Monday damaged civilian buildings and wounded more than 100 people across the country, according to local authorities.
A drone exploded into the National Academy of Sciences in the heart of Kyiv. Hours later, a second drone damaged a private medical clinic just blocks away. In Dnipro, Ukraine's fourth-largest city, emergency crews rushed to evacuate wounded civilians from a business center also hit in broad daylight.
And yet, the attack could have been much worse.
Ukraine's Air Force said Russia used 124 attack drones from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Monday — much fewer than in previous barrages this year, which have regularly included more than 500 drones and 50 missiles within the same time frame.
Analysts and Ukrainian officials told CBS News that Russia is stockpiling weapons so that it can launch intensified late-autumn and winter barrages.
During Monday's attack, Russia used primarily "jet-powered drones," a new model of long-range strike drones that fly faster and are harder to intercept. Ukraine's Air Force said that 86 of the 124 drones used in the attack were jet-powered.
Since Russia began deploying the new models in June, Ukraine's interception rate against them is 57% — a sharp drop-off from the military's 90% to 95% success in intercepting older models.

Russia has two models of jet-powered drones, the Geran-4 and Geran-5, and has been stockpiling both. Come Back Alive, a Ukrainian military nonprofit, estimates that Russia will produce 1,200 Geran-4 and 800 Geran-5 in September, and projects those numbers to grow each month.
During his speech at the United Nations General Assembly earlier this month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia has used just 7,700 jet-powered drones in attacks so far this year.
Viktoriia Chekalina, an analyst at the Come Back Alive Initiatives Center, estimates that Russia has stockpiled 450 to 700 units of the older non-jet-powered drones, the newer jet-powered models and dummy, non-explosive drones known as "Banderols" during each Russian attack this spring and summer.
"Despite the capacity to launch 600-1,000 units in a single massive attack, only about 150-300 drones were actually used," Chekalina told CBS News, explaining that attacks this autumn and winter "could reach around 1,500 units per one raid."
Because Russia has found success striking targets with relatively small barrages of jet-powered drones, it has also managed to save up its cruise and ballistic missiles, which are vastly more expensive and difficult to manufacture.
In the early spring and summer, Russia's attacks on Kyiv included barrages of over 70 cruise and ballistic missiles multiple times per month, according to estimates released by Ukraine's Air Force. In August, Ukraine stopped publicly releasing the numbers of missiles Russia used in each attack, but military analysts told CBS News that there was a drop-off in the number of mass-missile barrages in August and September.
Over this period, Russia has also increased its production of cruise and ballistic missiles. Chekalina said Russia has surpassed its missile production targets by 110% to 120% and estimated that it had stockpiled 130 ballistic missiles by August.
Solutions to countering Russia's ballistic missiles and jet-powered drones remain elusive. Ukraine continues to run dangerously low on American-made PAC-3 ballistic interceptors. And in an address this week, Zelenskyy said that while new defenses against jet-powered drones are being tested, they are not yet ready to be scaled, raising concerns that Ukraine may remain vulnerable heading into winter.
"Russia's goal during winter campaign will be complex: they will focus on attacking electrical and heating infrastructure as they are critical for civilians," Chekalina said. "At the same time, they will use turbojet drones along with missiles on local businesses, warehouses, and other targets."
The Statistical Probability that all my top ten articles of the last 30 days have changed (just today) is about zero.
Therefore the probability that I am on a new timeline is possible simply because how could ALL my top ten articles change within about 12 hours time? You do the math to figure out the probability of this happening. However, it is true that over 500,000 visits happened last weekt in a single day and even Wednesday before midnight Greenwich mean time was 5 pm here in Pacific Daylight time there were
405,740 visits to my site Wednesday September 30th 2026 which is interesting too. But, what is the probability today that all my top ten (at the top of the page) articles all changed from this morning until now? Not much or at all in my past experience. In fact, this might have never happened before that I can remember.
here is the list now:
However, I'm not sure i can usefully give you yesterdays list of top ten but I can give you the most recent top read of the past 7 days as 0f: September 26th 2026 which is:

Rotating black holes? answer: A rotating black hole, also known as a Kerr black hole, is a black hole that possesses angular momentum (spin) resulting from the collapse of a spinning massive star.
As
all known stars rotate and realistic collisions have non-zero angular
momentum, it is expected that all black holes in nature are rotating black holes.
AI Overview
Key Characteristics
- The Kerr Metric: Described mathematically by Roy Kerr in 1963, these black holes are defined by their mass and angular momentum rather than just mass alone (like non-rotating Schwarzschild black holes).
- Frame Dragging: The spin of the black hole physically twists and drags the fabric of space and time (spacetime) around it, forcing nearby objects and light to co-rotate in the direction of the spin.
- The Ergosphere:
An ellipsoidal region forms just outside the outer event horizon where
frame dragging is so extreme that nothing can remain stationary.
Most users on Quora agree that because all precursor stars rotate, nearly all astrophysical black holes in nature are rotating.
If you'd like, I can explain:
- How scientists measure the spin of a black hole
- The mechanics of the Penrose process
- The difference between the inner and outer event horizons

Einstein's Theory of General Relativity allows for mathematical paths called "closed timelike curves" or wormholes that could loop back to the past.
