Photo doesn't do it justice, but spring has sprung along the Maumee River near Toledo Ohio. Today I rode parts of the Wabash-Cannonball trail, the Chessie Circle Trail, the University Parks Trail, and visited the Swan Creek and Wildwood Metroparks. 35.1 mile loop.

You really shouldn't write something if you don't know what you are talking about. I wrote tens of thousands of lines of COBOL. It does indeed have a date data type. That is why you have to enter a (any) date, otherwise the job will abend for bad data.

While my husband is driving, I am working on repairing an old basket. I think the original fiber was water hyacinth, I'm repairing it with rug yarn. It won't be the same. It probably won't be better. But I'm hoping it will at least be functional. Seems appropos for the times we are living in.

New-to-me brother scan n cut from one eBay seller Friday, a new mat from Amazon on Saturday, and the power cord from another eBay seller yesterday. I've already sliced the mat by cutting too deep. I found out that fabric cuts at level 3 and felt takes a level 8.

If you don't know how it is supposed to work, how can you be critical of the result?

Here's what ChatGPT gave me when I asked for an image of a middle-aged woman on a bicycle in a snowstorm.

Copied and pasted.

You know how they always say, “follow the money?” This is an interesting picture.

I’m not saying I think there isn’t spending issues in the US government. But hiring Elon Musk to audit the government is like hiring a fox to audit the eggs in the henhouse.
