A Red-shouldered hawk sat on this branch looking for lunch just long enough for me to grab my iPhone 13 mini and the delightful kludge that is the Sony DSC-QX10, create a peer-to-peer network, zoom times 10, and take the picture.
I tried to tell the gas company rep that a 40 percent increase in my monthly budget billing amount did not take into account a leaky gas water heater in December and a new heat pump unit in January. All hail the power of Maxwell’s demon!
Always #Microsoft #Surface has existed upon the sufferance of Nadella and the interest of Panay, but is there a limit to either? Revenue is on track to backtrack five or six years for FY23, profitability likely worse, too many products, too little volume.
Saturation so high, this Camellia japonica bloom looks like it was manufactured by Samsung’s mobile phone camera division, rather than grown in my front yard.
Eight hours and an evocation later, the plumbers/sorcerers installed the hybrid water heater. It has a “heat pump” on top which definitely does not contain a Maxwell Demon exchanging molecules of cool air for warm.

This year Redvember falls on the 28th, the brightest day of the year for the Japanese Maple. A cold snap powered the normally dark purple leaves to their reddest before they promptly fall off over the next week.
A box turtle with evil eyes made a run for it across the driveway during the first real rain in weeks. Unlike everyone enjoying the sunny weather, evil eye knows what happens when the water runs out. It’s a long walk to the stream that feeds the lake. Good luck.
I made pretty good quesadillas for lunch, but the crema purée was both tasty and oddly hypnotic in the blending.
The DSC-QX10 once again fills in for the missing 10X zoom lens on an iPhone, this time catching a bluebird at the feeder. How much longer before Apple has a flagship device that matches the competition? I mean, the DSC-QX10 is a decade old, not sure how many years it has left.
