No. We just moved up here very recently. Still working our way through all the wineries. So far we've only been to a few down south of town.

I signed up to sell coffee art on Etsy. Going through the set-up process. I already regret it. Not just the Etsy, but the internet. It wasn't my idea, but I regret it. #coffeesky #art #hustle #itsnotasidehustleitisallthatido

If a bottle of wine has a tree on the label, it is probably pretty good. #brandingadvice #winesky

I remain convinced that this image will provide the bump to get Mattingly elected into the Hall of Fame next month. Meanwhile, the Contemporary Era ballot includes some decoys.

From Wikipedia, "Generation Z, often shortened to Gen Z and informally known as Zoomers, is the demographic cohort succeeding Millennials and preceding Generation Alpha."

I've received numerous press releases and guest inquiries from coffee roasters who are (paraphrasing): Shaking up the coffee industry for Gen-Z'ers through innovative instant coffees!
Serious question: how many new ways are there to produce instant #coffee that we'd consider "innovative?" #coffeesky

So...it could be that that Ai just made the vid background, maybe it was used to make Reeves voice say these words?
Either way, that seed of doubt made me look for an Ai warning, question the content. It made me aware that I will never look at content without the lens of "Is this real?" again. 3/3

Click thru and you'll find a vague general explanation and list of why you might be seeing this notice, but not an answer to what is altered in the video you were watching. One of the list items is: "The creator uses YouTube’s generative AI tools (e.g., DreamScreen)."
e.g. = for example...2/3

And now for the bummer part...I had a kernel of doubt that this was really a Keanu Reeves philosophical talk. In the show notes it said, "How this content was made: Altered or synthetic content. Sound or visuals were significantly edited or digitally generated. Learn more."

Every "update" on my phone has been changing default back to allowing Gemini to be turned on even though I had previously turned it off. It doesn't seem like a coincidence more "updates" have been rolling in. Basically, every time I turn it off it wants to update again.

No Sleep For Brooklyn Normal rest means nothing to the Dodgers

The team with the shortest offseasons over the past 2 years continues to burn it at both ends… and win. How will the #Dodgers do after last night’s marathon? Just fine, I believe.

I had coffee from the kitchen. I was too damp and cold to look at the bag.

He actually looks tired, which considering he was on base 9x last night & prob slept like 3 hours isn't a surprise, but I'm not sure I've ever seen a bag or a wrinkle around his eyes before....I heard that he also bakes cakes for the bat kids and recently saved an opossum from a wildfire. #shohei

People often ask me,* "How often do you think about getting a 'real' job?" Which I hear as, "Are you finally admitting you're terrible at this and giving up?"
My answer always varies, but inevitably ends at, "Not today."
*Its me. I ask me. #writersky #impostersyndrome #writerlife #nottoday

Lessons From Coffee’s Forgotten Foe Coffee wilt disease once wreaked havoc on Africa’s robusta farms. Today, the disease is mostly forgottenβ€”but its lessons must be remembered.

For Fresh Cup, I wrote about coffee wilt disease, which devastated production and livelihoods in West and Central Africa during the mid to late 20th century.

In recent times the disease has retreated, and has consequently been largely forgotten. But it remains a threat. #CoffeeSky

Perhaps someone should start selling "civit" coffee instead. It's the same but the beans are just from a grocery store brand and sold in a bag that cinches up like an A-hole asterisk.

I'm thinking about skipping a concert that I really wanted to go to tonight because it is raining and cold and I don't like going out late after dark and it is a long drive and I kinda want to curl up on the couch in front of a fireplace with the dog instead. Does that make me old?
