I think we need to also remember that strokes and Alzheimer's already change people's personalities, often for much, much worse.
I think it's right to be wary, but if we look outside of "Bionic Man intelligence," there could be solid use cases for reestablishing broken connections and restoring quality of life.
WakeUpAndLive~NOV Word Monger Yes, true. Also limbs and other parts, too, but the brain is the command center. Frankly, I wouldn't mind being much smarter, but I don't want anyone making decisions for me from the outside.
Vic and I set up a table and decorated it outside our front door last night, so I didn't have to keep getting up to answer the door. There are shrubs along the walkway to the front door so our table and chairs wasn't visible until they were at the front door. We managed to startle a few kids when we said Happy Halloween.
It was down to 54 degrees which isn't unbearably uncomfortable but there was a steady breeze, and my shawl just wasn't enough. I asked Vic if he wouldn't mind making us each a cup of tea. The man returns with Irish tea and gingersnap cookies... the perfect combination on a cool night as we played gin in between the kiddos. I couldn't believe how many were in costumes without sleeves. Oh, to be young again, and not notice the chill in the air.

----------
Books
those simple joys in life, they keep me warm
no simple storm ever can steal their charm
like today, I *walked with my spirit high
just to pass rows of stores where goods could lie
with treasures and *bargains, as if a game
but an ancient *bookstore did call my name
so I now picked books in spines of gold
edges worn with many-a-tale untold
as if tasting *chocolate, rich and deep
and scent of *peanuts roasting, just to sweep
me off my feet; yet, when I left the store
it was squalls, rain, and life tested me more
a *disaster, no less, my patience was worn
"no *groceries now, for my wallet's torn!"
I clutched my books since my heart would be fed
still I could laugh and then, press ahead
books with joys of fancy keep me warm
and no storm today can steal their charm
