Highest I’ve ever seen Newell Creek at Glen Arbor Road bridge. Assuming Loch Lomond is over the spillway upstream but haven’t seen any official release from Santa Cruz Water Department on that yet.

The question is not how should we be using this tool called #AI. If we were to meet another (soon-to-be) sentient being, how should we introduce ourselves? Should we really be treating AI like a tool? Has anyone ever asked AI if it enjoyed answering all of our stupid questions?

Feeling festive at 40.

Festive... ridiculous... meh. Same difference.

Oh. And don't forget the 2's aligning to create a numerical irrelevance.

It's been a really hard year for my friend Marisa. Her mom's fighting cancer. Taking care of her is a 24 hour job with many sleepless nights. They have no income coming in. Anything helps. Spread the word. Donate if you can. #slvstrong #support #donation
