         Good news this morning! I just paid off my 2014 Ford Transit Connect van.... I only owed $169 on it, there was plenty in the account to cover that, so it's paid off finally. I knew the last payment would be this month, I wanted it done before I retire. *Smile*

May it live long and prosper
Those last payments are nice and usually smaller than the previous. It always makes you feel good. *THUMBSUPR*
Congratulations, Jim! *Clap*

         Today I started reading "Let's Roll" by Lisa Beamer, Todd Beamer's wife. For those of you who are young (in your 20's, possibly even your 30's), you might not remember who Todd Beamer was. He was aboard Flight 93 when it crashed in that Pennsylvania field on 9/11/2001. Someone must have been on a phone, because Todd said, "Let's Roll." when they planned on attacking the terrorists that had taken over the plane. I got to page 10 of the book, and couldn't see, my eyes were leaking that badly. Lord only knows if I'll be able to finish it.

         I bought it while we were returning from our Virginia vacation. We stopped to see the Flight 93 Memorial, I bought it in the gift shop. What a place to visit. Take kleenex's if you go, you'll need them.

Worked at Delta Airlines, was at home recuperating from lung surgery. Watched the whole thing live. That evening we heard about Flight 93.
Sophomore in Highschool. It was a Tuesday.
I'm with Soldier_Mike Author Icon. Watched the movie. Haven't read the book yet. That day has had such an impact on my life, like it has on every person who was old enough to understand the events of that day. It's one of those times in a person's life that we can say, "I remember where I was when..."

The movie shows Todd Beamer on one of the airplane's attached phones, talking with someone in the United call center, I think. Just before those famous words, "Let's Roll," he prayed The Lord's Prayer with the operator on the other end of the line, who prayed with him. After he left the call, you see her still holding the phone, incredulous.

I'll bet that was hard to act, but I'll also bet that wasn't a whole lot of acting.

         This song just haunts me, in a good way. Tonight I found this rendition, Rocuzzo singing to his French Bulldog. Too beautiful to ignore. It's not the complete song, but see what you think.

         I find myself wondering how long it takes The StoryMaster Author IconMail Icon to create these daily pages. Does he get them from a library somewhere? Does he save them and use them as he wishes? Does he keep track of those he's already used to avoid repeating himself? Or is it linked somehow to a larger page that automatically inserts it on a WDC Server? Oh the questions I have, not the least of which is "I want (& need) to learn how to develop a webpage (learn HTML) By the way, my streak is at 4 days now. Four days of completing every task to earn that badge.

*Laugh*. Well, I'm working with my intern... Claude. (He's AI.)

No library, we're "coding them" together on the fly. He's writing most of the code. But he needs a lot of guidance. Sometimes I'm lucky and they take me a few minutes... other times, it becomes a battle of wills and takes me an hour or more to get it "just right" -- though just right is becoming "just good enough" often.

I do have calendar system so I have a history. I am now re-using and in many cases updating them when they come back around to fix them up.

I'm still doing a lot of it manually.

I would "learning" how to develop a webpage at this point in the AI cycle is probably all that necessary. I mean that for a lot of years now because the WYSIWG editors have been "good enough" for 90% of most business or hobby projects and more complicated things that involve hosting your own server and long term prospects.

I digress, but the newer AI stuff really makes creating a lot less painful. And for me, I'm doing things that no one should really be doing. These animations without AI are multiple days to a couple weeks long projects that no one should ever spend that amount of time doing. I question whether or not it's actually worth doing with the amount of times I put into them, but for now it's a fun diversion and it's helping me learn to use AI coding more efficiently.

Man ... the typos. *Pthb*
