I have been using Stable Diffusion to generate Artificial Intelligence images. It takes about a minute per image. Here’s the result for “Five animals playing musical instruments in a a jazz band.”

I am working on making images with artificial intelligence. You give it simple instructions and it creates the image in a minute or so. I told Stable Diffusion to make an image of “Amy Winehouse playing basketball for the Iowa Hawkeyes.”

On s02e09 of “Resident Alien,” Judy makes audiobooks for the townspeople. She records “The Autobiography of Malcolm X” for the sheriff. She says, “Oh, it’s Malcom X? I thought it was Malcolm 20, like the Roman numeral. I’ll redo it.”

I snorted my drink.

Life has been good to me. Looking through pictures of myself, I was stunned to discover that, except for facial hair, I haven’t changed a bit over the years!

I have never played a lawyer on television, but I assume that Powell only keeps the deal by testifying on the stand about the damning evidence she has. You make a plea deal with a smaller fish, so you can catch the big fish.

Eight of our neighbor’s Night Blooming Cereus bloomed overnight after yesterday’s four blooms. They bloom overnight once a year, not lasting long into the morning’s light.

Our neighbor’s night blooming cereus produced 5 of its 14 flowers last night . They are already starting to shiver with the coming sunrise. The early bird may get the worm, but I got the photo.

Once a year, the night-blooming Cereus turns into a stunning display of fragrant white blossoms! The show begins just after dusk and is usually over by midnight. By morning, the blooms are all but gone. Our neighbor said tonight the first bloom should open. Here it is at 8:30pm.

We do a budgeted amount with the power company for gas and electricity, so we pay the same amount monthly based on our past usage. Oh-oh. I just got the notice that it is being adjusted... down $9 to $81/month. I guess can accept that.

My sister and I are going through the boxes of photos and books that my mom left behind. It's disappointing that some photos don't have names or dates. On the other hand, we found $480,000 hidden in the pages of her Bible along with several bars of gold.

In the midst of the Iowa drought, our zinnias just outside our door are doing fine, providing a café for monarch butterflies, bumble bees, and… WHAT IS THAT flying within inches of me?

Recognizing the need to protect our southern border, Governor Kim Reynolds is sending the Iowa defensive line to protect us from an invasion from Missouri.
