To Say That This Was A ‘Hot Winter’ Is An Understatement!

I remember the March 14, 2023, snowstorm vividly. It was a monster storm.

My U.S. Citizenship Interview, which had already been postponed once (2 weeks earlier), because of another snowstorm, was the next day. I was waiting for them to call to say that it was postponed again. Didn’t happen.

I had to shovel 3 times, early in the morning, because we had SO, SO MUCH snow.

And this year. NOTHING.

This is NOT RIGHT. This is SCARY. We are going to pay for this.

I am sure we will have at least ONE BIG snowstorm before Spring.

I Asked AI (i.e., Google ‘Gemini’ & Microsoft ‘Co-Pilot’) To Predict The ‘NEXT POPE’.

It wasn’t as productive & helpful as I had hoped. This is why I stay away from AI — other than using it, via ‘Amazon’, to create AUDIOBOOKS.

It took two efforts before Gemini would cooperate. First time around it said that it had no data!

Co-Pilot, to their credit, indicates their sources. That proved to be disappointing. All 8 names were from just ONE online post — from ‘ItalyStart.com‘.

Well you can see what I think.

I liked that Schonborn came up, as did Ouellet. They are HIGH on MY LIST. SMILE.
