Born of laughter, rooted deep, In friendship’s soil, its promise keeps. When storms arrive and tempests roar, We hold the line, we mend, restore. Not fleeting like a springtime bloom, But steady as the autumn moon. We bend like trees in April rain, Yet rise again, despite the strain. In every season, joy or pain, We find the sun, we start again. No frost can freeze what we have grown, No drought can crack this love we've known. For hearts that first were friends, then more — Are built to last, through every war. TOMMY SPAGHETTI Groundcover vendor No. 669 An open letter to Governor Spencer Cox of Utah regarding Charlie Kirk's assasin: Dear Spencer, I watched your press conference at the University of Utah September 12. The speech was titled "Moral Clarity" on YouTube (published by The Washington Post). In that speech you expressed unprecedented anger that you experienced post Charlie Kirk's murder but you were pulled back by Charlie's own words. "The weak can never forgive; forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive. Welcome without judgment, love without condition and forgive without limit. Always forgive your enemies, nothing annoys them so much." Spencer, if you truly wish to GROUNDCOVER NEWS Open letter to Gov. Spencer Cox quell the rising tide of political violence and put into action the words you speak, then it is incumbent upon you to commute Tyler Robinson's punishment to life imprisonment and do not seek the death penalty. Please demonstrate the courage to "forgive without limit." Sincerely, Tommy Spaghetti Groundcover News 3 Beautiful October October is a beautiful, festive, colorful month. I like Polish Polka music; it's soothing and it sounds good no matter what you are doing. I’ve seen Octoberfest on television but I’ve never done one in real life. Good Polish sausage is one of the foods I like. I would like to try pierogi, the beef and mushroom kinds. October is a month to enjoy all types of goodies because of harvest time. Halloween is a good holiday, but not for the spookiness. I like the festivities of being with friends and DENISE SHEARER Groundcover vendor No. 485 enjoying goodies and harvest time. Another thing about Halloween is you get to dress like you want to, and be whatever or whoever you want to be! You get to watch the babies and children joyfully celebrate Halloween by trick or treating. The fall leaves are so pretty in October, too. It’s also a good time to go to farmers markets and apple orchards. It’s also a good time to go to petting zoos. It’s also a good time for artists because there's so much scenery to paint or take a picture of. October is a good, cool month. Chats with AI: Releasing radiopharmaceuticals and containing nuclear waste DAVID PUTMAN Groundcover vendor No. 679 In a recent conversation with Google AI, I uncovered the following fascinating facts: 1. Radiopharmaceuticals combined with THC and CBD may be a more effective cancer treatment than current medicines. However, to the best of my knowledge, no research has been completed on combining THC and CBD with radiopharmaceuticals. 2. In principle, the materials used in 55 gallon borated polyethylene lead-lined containers could safely hold 22 quarts of radioactive materials. Right now, 55 gallon drums are being used to hold significantly more than 22 quarts of toxic waste. The problems this potentially poses are environmental, emotional and personal. If you or a loved one develops cancer, you want the best of medicines, and without properly designed density to quantity ratios, the radiation could eventually get out. We don’t want our fellow men and women exposed to harmful radiation, and especially not the land, dirt, soil or groundwater either. I uncovered this all without a degree in chemistry. All I had to do was be persistent and ask the right questions. Google AI is young, and can only answer to the best of its knowledge. Persistence and proper phrasing is the key to completing your own education at home. No longer do our sprawling schools need to be a place of fear, intimidation and dangerous violence. The current generation can get answers online. You just have to ask the right questions.
