Robert Fulton was an American engineer and inventor who is widely credited with developing the first commercially successful steamboat in 1807.

Steamboat adventures brought good fortune to some but trials and tribulations to others.

On November 13, 2026, at 3:54 p.m. EST, the FAA issued a nationwide ground stop across the US. Apparently new technology upgrades overwhelmed antiquated telecommunication systems. It was lifted at 8:15 p.m. EST. It was the third national ground stop in US history, the other two occurring during the September 11 attacks and the 2023 FAA system outage. Read more .

Eight people died, including 2 children, and 18 others were hurt after part of a three-story building collapsed into a construction site at the corner of Flatbush and Bedford Avenues in Flatbush, Brooklyn, just after 4 p.m. Wednesday November 11, 2026 (Veterans Day). Thursday, rescue operations concluded at the collapse site officials saying there were no more victims.
On March 20, 2026, the DOB ordered the stoppage of demolition at the neighboring construction site after inspectors found inadequate overhead protection for adjacent properties. When inspectors returned on April 23, they found that demolition had resumed despite the stop-work order and issued another violation.
The DOB lifted the order on May 8 after the conditions were corrected. The neighboring construction site had active permits for excavation and foundation work. Following the collapse, the DOB issued a full stop-work order. A DOB notice attributed the collapse to "unsafe construction operations", while officials said the cause remained under investigation.

Both Flatbush and Bedford Avenues are major thoroughfares that I've driven on for decades in downtown Brooklyn. In the 1990s I taught a summer school program in the area. It's always sad to see destruction and death. The images remind me of war torn countries or the aftermath of an earthquake.

Humans and animals have Out of Body Experiences - sometimes aware of them and other times oblivious as time is an illusion and consciousness moves in and out of physical (linear) time.
That and more are easily understood with simulation theory, which reveals that what we call everyday reality is simply a rendered interface designed for physical experience.
Because time is not truly linear outside of this 3D program, consciousness - whether human or animal - naturally slips in and out of the physical avatar during sleep, deep rest, daydreaming, or sudden shifts in focus, effortlessly accessing the higher informational grids behind the scenes.
Once you recognize that we are all operating within a programmed matrix, these moments stop feeling mysterious and start making complete sense. Both humans and animals are multidimensional travelers moving across frequencies, stepping beyond the clock and the physical body whenever awareness shifts back into the greater grid of reality.
