The internet is good for something...

Image
 I have had a bountiful harvest of tomatoes and cherry tomatoes in particular.  In the past, I had struggled with making these Greek tomato fritters.  I have since learned to add an egg and extra water and flour to get the right  batter consistency. I now have the technique perfected.  The wonderful thing about these is it uses fresh herbs of basil, parsley, dill, and mint so they are really flavorful even without tzatziki. The deep frying did make a mess of my baking racks.  As I was struggling to scrub the racks, I thought I would check the internet.  Reddit usually gives me the best results.  Many folks said to dump a cup of ammonia in a garbage bag and seal the racks inside for 24 hours.  I gave it a try and my racks look brand new.  So....the internet is good for something.

Rich Little and Linda Ronstadt at the flea market

Image
 A nightly ritual when I was growing up was watching the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson each night.  One of my favorite guests was Rich Little.  In all of my years of collecting autographs, Rich Little eluded me. I have recently been rewatching some of the old Tonight Shows.  What are the odds that I am at the flea market this am and find an old Rich Little program autographed for five dollars?  Beyond chance.  In the next aisle over, I found a Linda Ronstadt scrapbook from the late 1970's for four dollars.  She was a major league crush of mine as a sixteen year old.  Beyond chance.

Sunday morning...watching the hummingbird wars.

Image
Now that the temperatures have dropped into the low to mid 80's , the realm is livable once again.  After I got back from the flea market, I made myself a cappucino and sat on my swing.  The hummingbird wars were in full swing. There were at least 3-4 different ones fending off their territory.  Divebombing one after another. I populate my back deck with 10-12 firecracker plants which are like crack to hummingbirds. It is amazing how aggressive and territorial these small creatures are.

New Orleans Becomes First Major U.S. City To Let AI Answer 911

Image
One of the scariest places I ever visited was New Orleans.  My girlfriend at the time booked our stay at an old traditional second floor house in the French Quarter.  The first night, I kept hearing ominous noises....someone coming up the steps, voices.  I demanded that we leave the next am and we moved to a  Hilton.  Something is very creepy about that place.  It does not surprise me that AI would be rolled out there to a greater degree.  New Orleans is testing just how much Americans are willing to trust artificial intelligence when the stakes are considerably higher than writing an email or ordering dinner,   according to the New York Post . The city has begun allowing an AI system to field certain 911 calls, apparently making it the first major U.S. municipality to put a bot directly between emergency callers and human operators. The idea is largely about volume. New Orleans' emergency communications center receives more than 1,000 calls on a ...
