I have been working a lot this past year on adapting to Odoo and it's been a steep climb at times. But it's finally paying off! Financial books, ecommerce, purchasing, inventory for both businesses is finally feeling clean & squared away so I can focus back on the fun stuff!

That is a bit of good news! Now AI corps will have to admit it was human-sourced, & admit to theft, or lose their rights to anything generated. Now let’s see if they buy their way out instead.

Just realized that my audiobook of The Sky Calls is available on Spotify. But, you can, of course, buy it directly from my website and I get more of the moolah. Take your pick!

A hapless statue (formerly a bird of prey) is in the background as Hauke says, eyes aglow, "I've only got eyes for YOU!"

Next up, something from @aetusart.com with roughly the same theme. Even if it's not quite true that I've only got eyes for YOU, you won't find out about it--it's the last thing you'll recall seeing!

Like all swans, Astor shows his best side when he tips down to feed on plants at the bottom of the pond. Really, he's not being rude.
