Yup, saw it in the 5" scope a couple of weeks ago. Just under the circlet of Pisces .

A vintage Halloween postcard featuring a couple with pumpkin heads. The male figure, resembling a scarecrow, wears a straw hat, a striped shirt, and blue overalls. He is holding the female figure, who is in a pink dress with a polka-dot pattern and a white bonnet. A black cat is seated at their feet, looking up at them. In the background, a large full moon with a face shines over a small house and a grassy field. The words "HAPPY HALLOWEEN" are written in the night sky with a pattern of stars.

Bumblebees in our wildflower garden! Nice to see them, since they were a bit scarce back in the spring.

Didn't I hear this guy was giving away the pickles, not selling them? Makes the situation rather different.

Nice. We see them, about 100 feet up, apparently hunting bugs, at dusk almost every day of late.

A mouse-sized flying squirrel is huddled over an acorn, eating something from his front paws. We see his long tail stretched out behind him on the ground.

Found this little guy today, not much bigger than the green acorn he's sitting with, munching on nuts in the driveway. He was completely disregarding what I was doing, so much so that I almost walked over him.

Is this the one with the caves underneath that you can go into at low tide? Did that in '89, at some rock like this.

The sad part is that it just pieces together that drivel from whatever was fed to it. Glorified search engine.

What's slow? I ordered some PCBs from China about a year ago, only took a week.

Fun flick. I always kinda wonder if Stanley ran out of money for that "psychedelic colors coming at you" thing. In the book, that was traveling through some kind of hyperspace across the universe.

Handsome black and white short haired cat with long whiskers. He's looking toward the camera with a somewhat sad expression perhaps tinged with longing/hope. Sitting on a gray rug by a door.

#CatOfTheDay Max is 11 and had been indoor/outdoor in his previous situation. Now looking for a new, loving home where he'll have the space he needs to adjust and learn to trust. Best as an only pet in an adults-only home. #Adoptable in Concord #NH! 😺 www.adoptapet.com/pet/44939734...

That's what I've found. It spews nonsense with the same confidence as facts. Not useful for any serious work.

From what little I've seen of "AI", it's pointless. I use it for quick answers to programming language questions. The answers it gives are compilations of available forum responses, with formatting language to make it seem like a coherent train of thought. A search engine that talks too much.

Well, the annual viewing of Jaws concludes another Independence Day holiday. Happy swimming!

Got to de-humanize them. Makes them easier to shoot.

JDV has other problems besides being deceptive. Apparently he can't remember who was president in 2019.
