It's mind-boggling to think I've been retired for five months already. We're having a blast! A friend recently asked if the transition into retirement was difficult. Nope! l loved my job and my boss, but still, it felt like being released from prison. (Well, maybe federal prison -- the cushy kind.)
The view from the "M" trail in Missoula, Montana, taken on October 3, 2026, a few hours before the Homecoming game against Northern Colorado (Griz won 36-14). The sun is behind my husband and me as we stand on the trail about halfway to the M, and our shadows are being cast on the ground in front of us.

Montanans might recall that the original bill text called for voters to write their *full* DOB on the envelope, until people went apeshit and lined up to testify against this blatant security risk. The birth-year compromise achieved nothing except cement Rep. Mitchell's reputation as a giant tool

Today is one of those rare Wordle days where I'm at my sixth and final guess but I can't even find a combination of letters that works. It's probably due to reducing my alcohol consumption over the past couple months 😂

Despite all that detailed transit data, apparently the software is unable to update the estimated delivery date. I hope my mail-in ballot has better luck arriving on time

I use the DuckDuckGo browser and sometimes Chrome. Microsoft Bing is NOT set as my default search engine. That is, it wasn't, until today's Windows update set it as my new default in Chrome without asking. I changed it back immediately. Fuck off, @microsoft.com

This is an excerpt from a business-related blog and can be titled, Reason 3,958,231 why AI is a lot stupider than investors think.
Text reads, "An awkward AI transcription showed up in a meeting where the presenter had the last name 'Buckman'. When she introduced herself, the auto captions/transcription showed up as, "Hi everyone, I'm Beverly. Fuuck, man, it's nice to see you all today."

Observation as a new retiree: At least 40 different YouTube channels about retirement have appeared in my feed. All seem to have thumbnails proclaiming there is one retirement secret/trick/challenge that "nobody is talking about," which makes me think everyone actually is talking about it
