=== Circumstances and Data (07:45) ===

[00:00:01]  Hello humans, hello humans.
[00:00:05]  It's August 1, 6.32 a.m. here on the Pacific coast.
[00:00:14]  I'm going to make two of these audios.
[00:00:16]  This one's going to be hopefully reasonably short because I've got to go and get some breakfast.
[00:00:22]  And I just need to explain my circumstances here in a little bit more detailed fashion than I have in the past.
[00:00:32]  The second one's going to be about data.
[00:00:34]  I've got another five DAT tapes.
[00:00:42]  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.
[00:00:56]  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.
[00:01:06]  Anyway, so I'll make another one of these audios on the data and what I've found so far.
[00:01:13]  And I'll explain some of that.
[00:01:15]  Anyway, so it's very difficult for me.
[00:01:23]  About six weeks ago, my wife started experiencing some health episodes.
[00:01:34]  These led to three distinct health crises that led to two periods of falls.
[00:01:52]  One basic fall, some damage, and then five days later, another major fall.
[00:02:02]  And so over the course of the last six weeks, she had to go into the hospital.
[00:02:09]  She's had continuing episodes in this health crashing and has had to have surgery and has had to go into a rehabilitation center.
[00:02:23]  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.
[00:02:47]  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?
[00:03:09]  We don't have that.
[00:03:11]  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.
[00:03:24]  Anyway, so our timing was bad.
[00:03:28]  Her health collapsed ahead of that.
[00:03:31]  And she's in a rehab facility now.
[00:03:35]  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.
[00:03:47]  This has put a large strain on us.
[00:03:50]  She's several hours away from me, so just visiting her is an issue.
[00:03:57]  And then also she's had this continuing level of health degradation.
[00:04:03]  In any event, though, so my circumstances have greatly changed.
[00:04:08]  And however, in the future, I won't be responsible for her health care as long as these conditions persist.
[00:04:18]  You know, it's tricky doing oxygen at home and all of that kind of stuff, right?
[00:04:22]  And I'm so far out on the coast that I'm unable to get nursing staff to assist me.
[00:04:36]  So it's just one of those things.
[00:04:37]  It just happened that way.
[00:04:41]  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.
[00:05:00]  This is just by way of a heads up.
[00:05:04]  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.
[00:05:21]  Just anyway, just sort of a heads up.
[00:05:25]  My circumstances have radically changed.
[00:05:28]  They're not going to return to my previous method of or previous flow of how I lived.
[00:05:38]  And so this will be a little bit disjointed.
[00:05:41]  And after I've had some food here and recovered from the trip, I mean, I got back in time.
[00:05:49]  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.
[00:06:01]  They frequently let the normie dogs off leash.
[00:06:04]  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.
[00:06:11]  So it's just best that they not encounter little ankle biters from the tourists.
[00:06:17]  So in order to have a good adequate beach walk, we've got to get down there early.
[00:06:22]  This worked out today because we were on the beach at a little after five.
[00:06:26]  So we got to see the sunrise and had a good two-mile stomp.
[00:06:34]  Anyway, that's basically it here.
[00:06:38]  Just noting that time has advanced and circumstances have changed.
[00:06:45]  I'm going to see what I want to do and we'll see how things proceed in the future.
[00:06:53]  All of it at this stage for me and my circumstances is basically unknown.
[00:06:59]  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.
[00:07:15]  They came yesterday when I wasn't here.
[00:07:18]  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.
[00:07:29]  So this is cool.
[00:07:31]  Anyway, sort of, you know, an inbuilt audit trail referential integrity check within the data itself.
[00:07:38]  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.
