My watch chirped. Every hour my watch chirps like makes bird noises. I love it. You can have it either beep or make bird noise. And I don't really like the beep. I don't mind the bird noise though. And when I first put that on there my cats, every time it would do it, Shadow would start looking around, looking around. And I just hear what I thought I heard. And uh, but they're used to it now. And uh, Shadow and Dewey are both outside. And uh, yeah, it's just a cold, muggy day here in gray. It is a very cold, muggy day. And uh, I don't like this kind of weather. It's like misty, it's like 8 degrees, so the mist feels almost like icy rain. Just uh, just about nice. But yeah, War of 1812. Um, that hadn't clicked with me until recently when I heard a story. And it was like, what happened the last time the United States invaded Canada? And I was like, oh, the United States invaded Canada? And it was like, yep, the War of 1812. Because I was having a chat with an AI, is what it was. And I like this because you can just put it on an open, like an open mic. And you can, it's pretty much like a phone call. And you can just chat back and forth with the AI. You can ask it things, it'll ask you things, you know, it's like a back and forth conversation. And uh, we got to talking about the War of 1812 and how uh, the Americans decided to invade Canada and uh, most of them froze to death. And the ones that didn't had to retreat back into the warmer, southern climate. And then Canada and the British, we got together and we said, we're not going to let this stand. We can't let this stand. This was an invasion of our country. And they torched the White House. Among other things. But they, they torched the White House. And it's the finest case of F around and find out that I've ever heard. In my opinion. I don't condone arson by any stretch of the imagination. But in times of war, things happen. And I suppose one of the most powerful weapons they had at their disposal back in the early 1800s was fire. And uh, they used it, uh, multiple times throughout that war. But I think the most significant was the burning of the White House in August of 1812. So, interesting stuff. When you start getting into history, there's just so many things. And I wonder, you know, people looking back, even 20 years from now, or 30, 40, what they're going to think when they read about what happened between 2020 and 2025. What they're going to think about it. Uh, the war in Gaza.
