The reflections are all really interesting, but I get no sense of what's reflecting and how.

What scares me is her pupils...

Young adult me once made a thorough attempt to scrub a cast iron skillet. "Thank you for doing the dishes," Granma said. "I tried with the skillet, but I don't think it's clean," I said. Granma rolled her eyes, got up, inspected the skillet, and reported to the family that I had done it no harm.

Is there any chance of accidentally leaving the Secretary out on the range somewhere without water?

No?

Thank you! We appreciate the (really nice!) local photos. I pass them to my (Nevada-native) daughter who is studying in France but misses home.

I always love coming down into a city or town at night. So pretty.

After further review, oh, boy am I wrong. What a way to spend a Saturday night: wrong on the internet.

Third is definitely Star Wars (SE). Is fourth Gravity?

First has me stumped, but I'm getting an Alien vibe from all those polygons.

But your slouch game is far superior. (though probably fatigue-induced and not intentional.)

Thanks, PJR! I always liked this presentation of 4C best. Also thanks for the supers encounter cards. My $ is waiting if you want to make more of those.

On the other hand, really liking the prospects for home computing with the Raspberry Pi and RPOS.

Mind you, I'm doing okay with home computing on a Chromebook. But (smh) Google.

Having said it out loud, I have to reverse it out loud: I can't go to a flip phone. Wi-Fi Calling is essential, and my carrier only allows that with iOS or Android devices. So the mission remains using a smartphone in the dumbest mode possible. But I'll still need a new smartphone.

It is a special talent of hers, no doubt.

I can vouch for the game -- it's the only Middle-earth game I've seen that really feels like a Tolkien tale to me. I can't vouch for @gailsimone.bsky.social, but she doesn't need me to anyway.

Also, the cover of Action Comics #1 but from a different angle. Alas that people are not forever, but art can be.

My daughter has been to Paris many times and never gotten her pocket picked.

But beware the keychain sellers.

Next year, I'm going back to a flip phone and doing my personal computing on a Raspberry Pi. Maybe two.
