I’ve missed Linda G. Hill’s One-Liner Wednesday two weeks in a row. I’m going to pay back the One-Liner fans, with interest.
WordPress says it’s AI can write a blog post for me, but WordPress can’t remember who I am.
I announced that I was taking a break from blogging, which I did. I suggested that I would still be visiting some blogs (because I enjoy doing that). If you received a Like from me, please know that I struggled to get that to happen. If you got a comment from me, please know that I wrestled WordPress the the ground to make that happen. I’m not saying that to brag or garner sympathy, but for one solid week, WordPress treated me like persona non grata. Every single time I tried to do anything, I had to login—sometimes, several times. Maybe they should deploy some AI in the blogger recognition department.
Seeing a ballgame in person is fun, even when your team loses.
I’m trying to stick with the one-line thing here, but there’s more to add. My brother and I attended a Pirates game on Sunday August 4th. It was 92°f (33°c) and very humid. Since we only go to one game a year, and since Pirates tickets are very reasonably priced, we purchase club-level seats. After a few innings, my iPhone said it was too hot—seriously, it flashed a message saying it was hot. I told it I was hot, too. I reminded my brother that the club was airconditioned and had the game on closed-circuit TV. We moved to the bar.
Halloween is when?
On our last day in town, we decided to visit the family graves. When our daughter and I visited the graves in March, we noticed that the flag on my father’s grave was broken, and the veterans flag holder was bent. Faith straightened the holder and put the remaining bit of flag in it. We stopped at a grocery store to see if they had flags. They had lots of lawn decorations, but no flag. The lady there told me to “check in seasonal.” No flags there, but a large display of Halloween candy. On my way out, I asked at the service desk. The man said, “We only have flags from Memorial Day until the forth of July.
Family matters
We stopped at the first cemetery, but the entrance road was under some sort of maintenance construction. We thought about walking, but then it started to rain. We waved toward the graves and said “hi.” We then drove to our parents’ grave. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the rain had stopped, and the broken flag had been replaced.
The best part of a vacation is arriving back at home.
I don’t think I have to add anything to that one.
All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
