Infinity can usually be as big as you can make it. How far can your imagination extend the world around you is the real limit of the world. For a goldfish in a fishbowl, there are two possible worlds, it can be limited by the glass, or its mind can make it as big as it wants. Bigger even than whatever reality its senses can perceive.

What a $10 Million Space Hotel Room Gets You
You sit in your hotel room, looking out the window as a robot massages your shoulders. You just finished an intense game of zero-g basketball, and your muscles are a little tight. You do feel lighter due to the lighter gravity though. The hotel room itself is moving slowly, so the view out your window is always changing. Suddenly the most beautiful sight you’ve ever seen comes into view. A blue orb with swirling white whisps and lush continents passes by. Tears fill your eyes as you look at Earth from the first hotel in space.

Gandy Beach (also known as Redneck Beach) is changing
There's a lot on my mind today. I imagine I'm not the only one who thinks a lot. I'm trying to stay focused on my personal goals, desires, and the garage sale I'm running today and tomorrow, but as I sit here sipping soda and smoking cigarettes, I can't help it, I'm thinking about lots of things that may or may not be any of my concern.

Y - after the storm
Ah! Dancing. I know there are people who don’t like to dance. However, I personally don’t know many of them. In fact, there is only one of my friends you’ll never find on the dance floor.

Most of my male friends, however, including my husband need to be dragged onto the dance floor for even the slowest dances, forget about anything with an upbeat.

COP27 Climate Summit: Some Key Statistics on Risk and Investment Trends
As Egypt hosts the most important sustainability event of the year, COP27, the Middle Eastern country is pushing hard on making the summit about decarbonization implementation as opposed to climate commitments. However, given the weak global economy, high inflation, and geopolitical instability, we should not expect many breakthroughs coming out of this year's summit. The over 100 countries participating will be negotiating the establishment of the Damage and Loss Fund (a fund to finance damage and losses suffered by most vulnerable countries), as well as the $ 100 billion yearly investment commitment for developing countries to address their climate adaptation and mitigation priorities. Nobody expects much progress on either front given the limited political capital of the largest polluting countries as well as the weak budget space to fill the climate financing gap.
