I am simply exhausted today. We just finished wiring up some new
test connections. The biologists were all a bit on edge since they are under
incredible pressure. As they say, birds of a feather, flock together.
I
did see some birds that I watched on the drive home. I was stopped at a light
and there were some birds landing on the telephone wires. As each bird was
trying to find a place to land, it was easy to see the social hierarchy when
they tried to land between two other birds. Some birds were allowed to land
close to others while others were not. Birds are so simple, and yet some of
their behavior is surprising. They have such small heads.

The biologists have finally improved the surface area folding of
the cerebral cortex. Their initial tests look very promising. Many of their
experiments were done long ago, and the results are only seen now. It is good
that they did so many experiments in parallel. I shouldn't need to talk to those
biologists at all pretty soon.
I got off work a bit early today, and
took a drive down Ganglion Lane. I happened to see my grandmother driving the
opposite direction. I waved, but she didn't wave back.

Today was the day we put all of the brains in the same room. The
amount of money spent on this project is something else.
I took time off
for lunch today. I had a lousy chicken sandwich. I have been eating like a bird
lately.
Driving to work is getting to be such a pain. There are now
cones all over for the construction on the bridge. Then there was a truck that
spilled rods all over the construction site. There were rods and cones all over
the place.
On the drive home, I saw these birds behind another car. They
look like the same kind of birds that I saw on the telephone wires. They would
suddenly appear from behind the car, and then disappear behind it again. Later I
wasn't sure if there were two sets of birds, or whether it was one set. Or
perhaps a set that split. You would think that for such a small flock, that they
would stay in the same group.

The initial tests on the brain integration are looking good, but
there is so much infrastructure to get it all hooked together.
Those
damn birds are around again. This time they appeared in the distance, and then
as they started flying towards my car, they were huge. At first they looked like
they were normal size at a distance, but when they got close, they had a
wingspan of about 4 feet. They came right up to my windshield, and one of them
even hit the car. There was no real damage to the car, but it made quite a
noise. I threw a stone and was able to kill two of them.

I had a seizure today. It was a bit scary. I don't remember
anything from about 2:30 to 4:30. Afterwards I had a splitting headache. I had
to answer too many questions from the physicians later. Why can't people just
leave me alone?
On the way home, I nearly hit another car. I would swear
that my grandmother was driving, but her head seemed too large.

I sure will be glad when this project is over. I really hate
working on weekends.

I went to the park today. I was watching the pigeons around the
lake. I have a feeling that pigeons know the real physics. They have their own
math where it is much simpler to represent the wave/particle duality problems.
They look at us and think, those simple humans just can't comprehend the math
that we have.

I talked to Jack at the League of Geofictional Nations (LGN)
today. He thought that I should quit working to take some time off. I really
need the money though.
I wired up more commissural fibers todday. I only have about five brains left
to wire into the network. Final testing should begin soon.
I was driving
across the bridge again today. There was these hard corpses of birds lying all
over the place. It was to bumpy for my car, but I made it home anyway.

The project are running at a furious ppace. We finished all of our tasks. Now
we got two sit back and just repair the leaks. I had another seizure today.
Another couple of hours with the headaches afterwards.
The birds was all
over on the way home. They all had my grandmother's face on them. She were
smiling wickedly, but I could still recognize her.

I don't remembel if I made it too workk today. I kmow I were in my gar. It
were difficult two even see where I ware going because of arl of dhe birts. The
bird poop wele all over, and the bards was all changing sizo. There were to foot
worms all over the place end their must not hus been any early birds at all.

All ov the roats seem doo go dhe sane ploce now. I took Fovea over the Opdic
chasm, ant thin ged vtuqk in a bird zumctuary. A bird sanctuary! Soon I wirr pe
as freu as a birt.
