	Hello humans, hello humans.
	It's August 1, 6.32 a.m. here on the Pacific coast.
	I'm going to make two of these audios.
	This one's going to be hopefully reasonably short because I've got to go and get some breakfast.
	And I just need to explain my circumstances here in a little bit more detailed fashion than I have in the past.
	The second one's going to be about data.
	I've got another five DAT tapes.
	These are digital audio tapes that had been converted a long time ago, not by me, but I mean the industry, into carrying digital data, really reliable ways to ship data.
	You can put magnets on them and they can be erased that way, but it wouldn't be sufficient to get everything because of the density of the tape.
	Anyway, so I'll make another one of these audios on the data and what I've found so far.
	And I'll explain some of that.
	Anyway, so it's very difficult for me.
	About six weeks ago, my wife started experiencing some health episodes.
	These led to three distinct health crises that led to two periods of falls.
	One basic fall, some damage, and then five days later, another major fall.
	And so over the course of the last six weeks, she had to go into the hospital.
	She's had continuing episodes in this health crashing and has had to have surgery and has had to go into a rehabilitation center.
	The issue now is that, or one of the many issues, so I've been up all night and likely to be a little bit disjointed in this, but the issues now have basically gotten to the point where I'm not capable of handling her health care needs.
	We're both 71, so it was, this is sort of what I was attempting to end run, so to speak, by having the addition to the house put on because I was basically going to build a room that would be suitable as a hospital kind of a setting, right?
	We don't have that.
	It's going to be maybe a year if I could get the, you know, given our circumstances, it might be a year before there'd be any completion on this addition.
	Anyway, so our timing was bad.
	Her health collapsed ahead of that.
	And she's in a rehab facility now.
	And because of the oxygen needs and other things, she needs nursing care, so she had to be moved inland to where we could get adequate facility.
	This has put a large strain on us.
	She's several hours away from me, so just visiting her is an issue.
	And then also she's had this continuing level of health degradation.
	In any event, though, so my circumstances have greatly changed.
	And however, in the future, I won't be responsible for her health care as long as these conditions persist.
	You know, it's tricky doing oxygen at home and all of that kind of stuff, right?
	And I'm so far out on the coast that I'm unable to get nursing staff to assist me.
	So it's just one of those things.
	It just happened that way.
	In any event, so I'm a little unsettled in terms of what I'm going to be doing and Where I'm going to be doing it here in the future.
	This is just by way of a heads up.
	My circumstances are such that it's unlikely that I would be doing audios in vehicles anymore because of the need, or not need, but because of the circumstances and having to take people along and so on.
	Just anyway, just sort of a heads up.
	My circumstances have radically changed.
	They're not going to return to my previous method of or previous flow of how I lived.
	And so this will be a little bit disjointed.
	And after I've had some food here and recovered from the trip, I mean, I got back in time.
	The tourists are out here en masse, and I don't like taking my large dogs down on the beach when the beach is crowded with normies and normie kids and normie dogs.
	They frequently let the normie dogs off leash.
	And I've got some very large, very aggressive dogs that know I'm a paranoid son of a bitch and they want to protect me.
	So it's just best that they not encounter little ankle biters from the tourists.
	So in order to have a good adequate beach walk, we've got to get down there early.
	This worked out today because we were on the beach at a little after five.
	So we got to see the sunrise and had a good two-mile stomp.
	Anyway, that's basically it here.
	Just noting that time has advanced and circumstances have changed.
	I'm going to see what I want to do and we'll see how things proceed in the future.
	All of it at this stage for me and my circumstances is basically unknown.
	Now, on the other side of that, I will do another audio here because I do have these five DAT tapes, four of which are full, one of which I think is, I just cursily examined it.
	They came yesterday when I wasn't here.
	And I just cursily examined the thing and it appears to be a rundown on metadata and some stuff on how they did the gathering for me of the data.
	So this is cool.
	Anyway, sort of, you know, an inbuilt audit trail referential integrity check within the data itself.
	It's always very cool when people do that for you if you're taking their data and assuming that they're following your instructions.
