I am currently attempting to find the magic combination of words that will cause search to provide me with relevant and useful information instead of tangential noise.

There's a comedy-of-errors story about magic spells by trial and error hidden under the surface of this exercise.

What life unmasked looks like, apparently:

Cashier: I hope you have a nice day.

Me: Yeah... That'd be a plot twist.

(the words just fell out of my before I could even think to filter)

The best way to get me to absolutely delete all of my data and accounts from your service? Partner with anything Elon or X related.

Telegram just announced that they're partnering to bring Grok to Telegram chats. No thanks, we don't want our private chats and data scraped by Elon and his goons.

If you have a Telegram account, time to delete and move to Signal or a different service.

"You were gone on your bike ride longer then expected. You must have stopped to take pictures."

Nope.. Just stopped a few times to sit a while and soak it all in.

There is something so otherworldly and pretty about the cyanobacteria blooms and pondweed along the reservoir. You turn a corner on the trail and are met with the arcane map projections of an alien planet.

Landscape photo of an organic reservoir of dark, vividly blue water with an asymmetrical curve of bright blue-green algae surrounding it from where we "stand"; whorls of an oily, pale gold residue limns the edges of the green, and at our feet are the russet browns of earth, rocks, and twigs. Leafy aspen, box elder, and conifers stand beyond the mouth of this strange reservoir under a mirroring blue sky. It looks like the curved distortion one sees in a map projection of a flattened sphere, but this is just a head-on view of the reservoir.

@robbienorlyn I like them when everyone understands how they are supposed to work. It rarely happens around here.
I even encountered someone driving the wrong direction in one recently.. ๐Ÿ™„

The fact that the aliens are not stepping in to save us can only mean one thing.
They have gone vegan and no longer need us as a food source.

Potentially I could have procedures and surgery done by mid June.
And with approximately a 2 week recovery, actual Summer plans could happen.
Regardless, everything will be dealt with this year.

I'm trying to wrap my mind around what that might even mean.

An interesting, unexpected day.

A day when all the emotions, anxiety, fear, and excitement about the possibilities are engaged.

The surgeon that I've been waiting to talk to for 6 months called me today.
I wasn't expecting, "Are you free Monday?"

While Monday's procedure will only be one of two precursors to the big one, depending how it goes, I could go straight to the big one next.. in three weeks. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
