Not going to happen
One dead and a million without power, but that’s up North somewhere. Down here, it wasn’t a particularly impressive rainstorm. It was too gusty for the bike, though, so I walked in.
No, not me in the pic. That’s Grok again. I swear, no illustrator will ever be hired for anything ever again.
Stopped for a coffee and left a trail and a puddle under the table at the cafe. Fortunately, I had a spare pair of jeans in the office.
It’s about a mile and a half from my front door to work. An enjoyable walk on a nice day, bearable on a day like today.
You know those 10,000 steps we’re supposed to take every day? Do you know how far that is? FIVE MILES. Every day. I get tired just thinking about it.
Good weekend!

Do you have a vented umbrella? Or do you not get high winds on that side of the Pond?

Yes, you don’t need to learn graphics anymore, you need to learn what things to say to an A.I. to get what you want out of it…kinda draining, maybe they’re demons and they’re sucking out our spiritual energy, wouldn’t surprise me.
Have a nice weekend!

I can tell you they’re sucking up our electrical energy and our capital.
Boooooooondoggle on the way.
But it’ll be like pet rocks and chia pets until the aliens finally admit they’re here so we can move on to the next thing that will solve all our problems, which mainly seems to be we have a crap ton of wealth to squander on shiny gizmos.
Now…get off my lawn ya damned kids!

So it’s raining hard enough to impact the power grid for a big chunk of the country, and windy too … so you decide to walk to work in this mess instead of riding your bike. Because you have dry clothes at the office.
Take the car. Duh.
