OK. My script to automatically add books into calibre-server seems to work. #books #calibre-server #raspberrypi

Going through my books cases, I find gems. #books #hypercard #resedit

One of the downsides of living in Delaware is that we don’t have access to decent desserts or baked goods.

I spent most of the running errands and house stuff. Time to relax.

One of The Gathering, the one known as Creamsicle, just now. It was warm out, so I opened the deck door. It just sat and kept looking inside. I’m sure they are planning something unearthly. #cat

Are you afraid of making new friends? Is that why you stay there?

We don’t need self-driving cars. We need self-returning shopping carts. Seems a simpler problem to solve. #ai #automation #marketing

The highest point in Delaware. The cliffs of Dover.~

This should read, “Please be patient human driver”. It should also have punctuation. #failure

In America, putting an umlaut over a brand name makes it seem exotic. I’m seeing more of that. The problem is, most Americans wouldn’t know an umlaut if they saw one #marketing

“He paused to peruse his purchases. Peps, pencils, pangolins, and penguins. What had his wife asked him to get? Oh. Right. She wanted ribs, radishes, and rtabegas. What the hell is a rutabega?” #writing #throwawayline
