While everyone else is excited for pumpkin spice season, I am celebrating apple cider season. If you also like apple cider, I recommend making this apple cider syrup: thebarspoon.com/recipe/apple... It is good as a replacement for simple syrup in an old fashioned or on top of vanilla ice cream.

I am reminding myself that the world is a big and beautiful place. Currently, that means the Sydney Opera House.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

I am a regular donor and worked for the Red Cross for over a decade. Please donate. The best way to find and book an appointment is through the app. With the addition of Rapid Pass, the whole process is super quick and saves lives.

Sitting on my back deck, drinking a cup of coffee, eating a fresh peach of my tree, with my dogs is a good way to start the weekend.
