The question is, how far down the rabbit hole do we go πŸ€” For example, is it too far-fetched to say the clues so far reference Alice in Wonderland? Originally conceived in 1862? My head says yes, but my heart says…no lol πŸ˜‚

All this talk about AI supercomputers and yet Microsoft Outlook can’t even recall an email sent to an external server. I don’t need a self driving car, I need an undo button.

Donate to Help OB the Stray Cat Heal and Find a Home, organized by Nancy Collins Hi, my name is Nancy A. Collins. Some of you might know me as a novelist and … Nancy Collins needs your support for Help OB the Stray Cat Heal and Find a Home

My friend Nancy recused an awesome stray cat, but it needed some significant vet care and the bills are piling up. If you could throw even a little cash Nancy's way, you'd be helping both her and the kitty a lot. Please repost this. Thanks.

Title: The desk of a late, great author 

Panel 1:
A woman asks "The publisher is on my back again. Have you guys got anything left in there?"

Panel 2:
A desk, with four drawers and a friendly face on each, replies
"Nope"
"Sorry."
"Nothing."
the last one says
"I might have something..."

Panel 3:
The woman reaches into the drawer which says
"That's it...Right At the back."

Panel 4:
The woman holds some paper 
"It's just a pizza menu."

Panel 5:
The drawers reply:
"Oh well"
"We've done our best"
"We have secured a great reputation for eternity!"

But another voice joins in:

Panel 6:
"Now, hold on there. I've got a few things that might Interest you..."
It is the waste-paper basket, filled with crumpled balls of discarded paper.

Happy Saturday from a dreary spot in the northern part of western Canada. Attempted a walk but the rain has gotten a bit heavy, so enjoying the sound of it and some fresh air instead.
