Snow Day.

Woke up this morning to a good foot of snow, with some drifts near 3 feet!  

 

 

Driveway - before 

 

But three hours with the trusty snow blower and it was all but gone.  

 

Looks like a giant sheet cake...
 

 

 

Driveway - After 

My hobby project - keeping my (circ. 1972) Toro 622 alive. 

 

Just warm enough outside for the (pet safe) ice melt to start working.  Back inside; the coffee pot was still on and I have a nice hot cup of java to warm the insides. 

Stay safe!

Monday

 

AI as art.

Cyber artist RootKid trapped an AI inside an art installation.  Fascinating to see his design, build and programming process, but even more to see the AI becoming aware of it's doomed existence.  

Both proud and terrified.  One... very brilliant use for AI, but I can only imagine what will happen when that AI breaks out of the box...

The Muppet Show Trailer

 

It's checking all the right boxes.  LOVED this show!   

Sunday Morning Sip

Wow!  The last Sunday of January 2026!  

...need more coffee... 

 

Winter storm hitting today. 

 

Yes, time to clip the cats nails. 

 

I get better results from the cat... 

How do we change from this shit mentality that 

we seem to have embraced? 

 

Always! And animals first!  

 

 

Thank you, Wiley. 

Our home, defined. 

 

 

 

 

 More Sir Jet.

 

 

 

 

Saturday Morning Sip

Good Saturday to everyone!!

As a mater of fact, I DO recite this

every morning...  

 

 

A sign hanging in my counselors office.

Remember: A good therapist is worth their 

weight in gold. 

Thank you, Wiley! 

 

Baby wants. 

 

Thank you, Scotty! 

More childhood classics. 

...and speaking of classics... 

Felt like my career defined. 

 

 

 

 

 

But let's replace these "McJob's" with AI, shall we?

When I (rarely) go into a fast food restaurant,

if I cannot give my order to a human, I walk out. 

 

One of my mantras! 

 "Oh!  But I miss my office friends!"

Tell me - how many "friends" bothered to 

keep in touch after you retired? 

Thank you, Whkattk for this one! 

Beach, here I come! 

 

We... are here. 

 

Uh-huh. 

Though if they turned out to be zenomorphs, I would 

certainly give them a map to DC or Mara Lago. 

From my YDG collection...

Miss her.   

 

 

 

Did not know this, but interesting!
