It’s coming for you…

Everyday I scroll my Apple news feed and am bombarded by headlines of Microsoft’s AI running amok.

.

.

Well that’s rude.

.

.

Oh sure, pass the buck to the robot to avoid a scene.

Nice.

.

.

Good grief people, smarten up!

Their eventual takeover is inevitable, but we don’t need to make it easier.

.

.

Remember the IRS nightmare that took me six months to rectify last year? When they moved a decimal point and said we owed $56,000?

Now I’m wondering if that was actually a human error after all.

Sometimes….

Sometimes the perfect wildlife shot presents itself and all you have to do is snap.

.

.

Our backyard deer really like their snow paths.

.

.

Sometimes you order a blueberry vodka lemonade and it’s literally blue.

.

.

Sometimes your husband drags things up from the crap cave cellar, and while they’re technically not crap? You still stub your toe on one of them when you round the corner because you didn’t know they were there and yell at him to move them forthwith.

😠

Sometimes you want a little heat, but not anal angst level heat.

Ouch!

A warm day in mid February meant His Royal Highness finally got to go outside again.

.

.

Being a fair weather feline who dislikes getting his feet wet…

.

Lord Dudley works hard to avoid the snow.

.

.

Bare earth is something to be savored.

.

And rolled in.

.

Homage was paid to his favorite rock.

I swear I don’t know what his obsession is with that stone, but he rubs and rolls all over it every single time.

Unless you need a laugh that is.

Bears.

They’re just like us.

I’m not a gamer, and I’m absolutely not a zombie fan but I stumbled on this HBO series and am enjoying it despite myself. The fact that it could actually happen? Makes me wish I’d turned the channel.

😳

.

.

I’ve been saying this for years.

.

.

Which will kill us first? Fungus or AI?

The race is on.

.

.

Cute. But if the batfish ate the fungus? I might be a little more excited.

The early morning kernel hunt.

14 Comments

.

My husband is a late night snacker. No matter how large and satisfying a dinner I serve him, he always has room for popcorn.

And since we’ve established he hasn’t worked out the proper bowl to kernel ratio of his new air popper…

.

.

It won’t surprise you to learn that every morning when I walk into the kitchen I begin to search for strays.

Stray unpopped kernels on the floor that I find with my bare feet…

Stray unpopped kernels that land in my cutlery caddy…

Stray popped kernels that fly into the sink and behind the microwave…

But this morning?

.

.

It seems the bird caught one.

Warning signs are helpful.

The little Maine town in which we live is a wonderful place.

Small and quiet. Rural and filled with family farms.

It’s a peaceful, sparsely populated area surrounded by the natural beauty of water, woods, and wildlife.

The people are salt of the earth, always willing to lend a hand or a dollar. There’s a marvelous sense of community here … we look out for each other.

Which is evidenced by the new sign the town put up just outside of the village, down the road from the pub.

.

.

Beware of drunken pedestrians.

A helpful warning to be sure.

🤣

You’ve been waiting all week for this. Admit it.

The only thing on my bedside table is a clock. The reason for this?

.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten… who has the endearing habit of jumping up there early in the morning to announce it’s time for the Royal breakfast to be served.

Reading glasses and book? Swatted to the floor.

iPhone and earbuds? Pushed off the edge.

Hand cream? Batted to the floor and chased under the bed.

So…

A digital clock from Sharper Image that resets itself for daylight savings time and automatically finds the correct time if the power goes off. It’s small.. but a little too heavy for his lordship to fling off the nightstand.

What about you?

What’s on your nightstand…
