LOL can't read this article from the Mercury News (paywall), but they don't need GenAI to answer that question.

"Why does I-80 always clog right before University Avenue in Berkeley on Saturday afternoons? What’s causing the nighttime crashes on I-280 from Meridian Avenue to McLaughlin Avenue in San Jose? And what’s the reason I-5 near Del Paso Road in Sacramento continually ranks as one of the most dangerous stretches of highway in the state?"

Here's a hint: the answer is: TOO MANY PEOPLE DRIVING CARS

LOL, garage sale bargain of the day. I had been thinking about finding a new Ikea desk lamp for a bedside table (very low priority), but hadn't figured anything out and Ikea is 50 miles away. Ran across someone at a garage sale and they had this Ikea lamp... which they sold to me for 25 cents. Even better than Ikea (secondhand, nearby Ikea stuff for basically nothing)! #garagesales

Electronics repair of the day. Air pump/inverter/USB charger/jump box. We use it a lot. Someone suggested it get tossed. I bought a new battery and it's back in business. #righttorepair #diy #repair

NY Times: Personal Conflicts, Even Violence, Are Not Uncommon in Long-Term Care

Arguments, verbal abuse and aggression are not unusual in elder care settings. Better staffing and training can ease the tensions, experts say.

DIY stucco repair - repainted around the new sliding glass door. Will see how it looks as it ages, blended this into the existing stucco in hopes it will age better. #diy #stucco

Wider view of wall showing matching colors seem to blend in well... at least today

Googles "recipes that use cheap beer"

(after figuring out it is near useless for slug trapping, and mostly just good for keeping the Wood Rat happy).

If you were a wood rat, would you prefer your beer warm or cold? 🤔

I've come for you, the vulture does say,
As they do in that Edgar Allen Poe way,
I'll sit right here and wait for some lunch,
On your rotting bones and flesh shall I munch
Oh wait, I'm wrong and you're not dying alone?
That smell's just your brand new cologne?

It's a slug party,
and I've bought them all a beer
Let's invite them to come right over,
and have a great cheer
It was the cheapest beer they sell nearby
But for a party it will fly
The question is really,
Will they just get drunk, or die?
