"It's a simple, beautifully balanced spiritual jazz meditation, where less is more, ego was left at the door and which promises a long player that I'm sure will be worth the eight-week wait."

Lots of gentle thunder rumbling through the #HudsonValley. I love listening to it, even though it freaks the dog out.

Tried to cut the grass earlier but the self propel on my #ToroRecycler crapped out (again). Had to push the heavy machine through tall grass before the rain started. Now my back hurst. I really hate the Personal Pace feature, the stupid belt slips off more times than I care to admit. I miss the disk drives on the old #Snapper machines.

#SamAltman and others at #OpenAI are trying wicked hard to convince folks that they're all about saving #Nature... Buying #JackieAndShadow's home and now this... Um, sorry Sam and friends. It doesn't make up for the #NoisePollution, #WaterPollution, pollution from #EnergyConsumption , etc. for the #AIHouseOfCards... But folks are seeing right through that!

#OpenAI flew influencers to a #NatureResort to fix its image. The internet called it #greenwashing.

OpenAI flew a group of influencers to a $2,000-a-night wellness resort to warm up the public mood around #AI. Days before a reported $500bn #Datacentre deal, the internet called it greenwashing, and the creators got the backlash.

August 4, 2026

"The event, branded 'Summer Camp,' ran at Wildflower Farms, a resort in New York’s #HudsonValley where rooms can top $2,000 a night, Business Insider reported. Creators posted farm-to-table dinners under bistro lights, a beekeeping session, and classes on OpenAI’s tools. They went home with branded canvas bags and jars of honey.

"The videos were soft-focus and lighthearted. The comments were not. Across TikTok, Reddit, X and Instagram, people called the trip 'dystopian' and accused OpenAI of greenwashing. One commenter told TechCrunch the issue was timing: '#TheWorldIsOnFire. It’s not a great time to brag about your $5,000-a-night suite.' "

I guess it's goodbye to another favorite hangout; Black Snake Brewing in Staatsburg New York. It was a great place to enjoy a beer and relax out in the country. I knew the property was for sale. They stopped posting on social media, the signs are down and things are looking a desolate on a recent joyride. I guess we have to look for someplace else. #HudsonValley #disappointment
