Ugh, it's supposed to be 106 degrees inland today. 102 at the coast which is insane. Can't even beat the heat at the beach.

It's a good time to recommend Unbelievable. Excellent limited series about two smart, competent detectives who investigate a string of crimes against women and bring the perpetrator to justice.

Just tried to kiss my husband when he got home from work and he refused on the basis of being too dirty, possibly toxic, from some wastewater project. He never refuses unless he's totally gross.

It's officially pumpkin season, which happens to be a special treat for our ambassador wolves this time of year! 🎃🐺 Although wolves are classified as carnivores, they can sometimes have an omnivorous diet. Along with meat and eggs, wolves may also enjoy fruits like pumpkins. #wolffact

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Beautiful film. The romance is the insta-love sort but everything is pretty and there is naked frolicking. Daniel Day-Lewis plays a lesser role.

One disheartening thing I find regarding AI at my day job: many teachers reward its use. I assist students with learning disabilities. They struggle through writing assignments (even with my help) turn in original work & fail while students who use AI get an A.

Audiobook narration is an art and a performance. I don't believe AI can capture real human emotion or give a compelling performance in any format.

Looking for a fun read? THAT REILLY BOY is a standalone small-town romance about two people from feuding families—and with a history of their own—who come up with a possibly (definitely) unhinged plan to get what they each want. (Also, I love this dog.) geni.us/thatreillyboy

Pink cartoon cover for That Reilly Boy: A cartoon Shih Tzu peeks out from between letters in Reilly. A dark-haired man with a beard, wearing a business suit has a thought bubble reading “There’s more than one way…” and a brunette woman has a thought bubble reading “…to end a feud.” Tropes listed: To get what he wants, he’ll make her his wife. Feuding families. Marriage of convenience. He’s forbidden to her. He broke her heart in high school. He’s rich now. He’s back in town, looking for revenge. His dog hates everybody but him…oh wait, and her. He has a secret tattoo. Closed door. Available now!
