Also, apologies for my garbage lighting. 😅

I'm making a thing for a friend for a winter gift, and I usually send photos to them while I'm going through the process, but I CAN'T, so now I'm sharing it here.

This is Gourdy, one of the special toons from the Halloween event on Dandy's World (Roblox) and I know they will love it when done.

I deleted the post w/my car because my language was not amazing.

Last night a deer (6 pointer!) did his best to run in front of my car. He got my driver's side headlight before loping gracefully off into the twilight woods.

$250 later, I'm going to be installing a new headlight assembly 😅

Not sure if I'm just the last to know or not, but I just got an email about how Grammarly is now under another company as a part of a "suite of AI tools." I haven't been using it for a while now, but I also went and deleted everything I had ever used it for and the account. Better safe than sorry.
Screen cap of Grammarly question that reads: "I'd like to delete my personal data from Grammarly Note: Grammarly is now part of Superhuman, a suite of AI tools that includes Go, Grammarly, Coda, and Mail. If you are a Superhuman user, please reach out at care@superhuman.com to delete your account."
