10 Random Things

1. These are lemons (or they will be when they are ready to pick in late November!).
2. The baby eagles that were hatched only a couple months ago are almost ready to fly!
3. 10 Things that Are a Complete Waste of Money After 60 (I wholeheartedly agree with all of these).
4. I am using AI more and more these days, especially if I can't "un-PDF" a document. I just upload the PDF to Gemini AI and tell it to print out all of the content in the document then I copy and paste the results into a Word document and I've saved myself hours of typing! Next up...agentic AI!
5. Summer is definitely here...100 degrees+ for several days and this is just the beginning :/
6. I watch a LOT of tech videos but in an effort to save money (and because I already have too much tech already), I just order cute new covers for my phone and tablet (about $10 each) instead of new devices (about $1000 each).
7. I wish we lived further north. I've never seen the aurora borealis before but apparently many people in the Lower 48 have the opportunity to see it this weekend.
8. Speaking of nature, there was an earthquake in Vegas yesterday but hubby and I didn't even feel it.
9. FWIW, I think everyone should have a 30-day (at minimum!) stockpile of food on hand.
10. A month from now, the US will turn 250 years old!
