Last year, I sent a request to Google to blur my house on Google Street View. I'm now getting junk mail showing that blurred image from Street View. Too funny!

Today, I went out to find a mystery cache for the #geocaching Pi Day souvenir. The easiest one to find was at the New Castle Court House Museum. The last time I attempted this cache, the museum was closed. Had no trouble this afternoon. The museum is a historic attraction in this area and there are hourly tours of the court house.
After the museum visit, I still had a lot of daylight left so I decided to go for 2 more mystery caches to get the next tier of the Pi Day souvenir. I headed over to the northern part of Middletown, where there were two easy mystery caches within a mile of each other. All in all, it was an enjoyable Sunday excursion.
First tulip and daffodil of the season. It was a long, cold winter (for this area at least) but the plants really started growing quickly as soon as temperatures went up.

@kootenay@fursuits.online I had similar experiences the last few times I attended furry cons. If there wasn't a good tabletop/card game happening in the game room, I used that time to return to the hotel suite to eat my takeout dinner and fall asleep on the couch. (showing my age there. LOL)
For some reason, I doubt this stat.
@tilton They just wanted to reduce head count all along.
Ending remote work and citing AI are simply two ways to do that without declaring an actual layoff.

@digitalfox I guess I might have had a bit of a strong reaction to KnowBe4. Within a few months of when they started requiring those cringey condescending training sessions, I decided that the company wasn't going in the right direction and I left. It was not the only reason but it turned out to be the kick in the butt I needed to go away.

@zenbrowser How do Live Folders work? Is there a spec that websites can follow so they too can be added as a Live Folder?
Not too cold outside today so I decided to go to the DuPont Environmental Education Center at the south end of the Wilmington Riverfront. I haven't been using this resource enough even though it is not very far away. It's a building next to one of the entry points to the bike path, with a collection of educational material on local wildlife, plus some aquariums with turtles and fish, plus a telescope for viewing a nearby osprey nest.
After that, I took a walk out on the boardwalk across the marsh to listen to birds and identify them with the Merlin Bird ID app. There were lots of robins, cardinals, and red-winged blackbirds, plus a white-throated sparrow somewhere in the distance. I could not see any birds until one red-winged blackbird flew up from below the boardwalk just 10 feet in front of me.
Anyway, it was a good time. Well worth the visit.
I'm still having dreams about work and being in work meetings. Two nights in a row now.
After I was done with school, I had dreams about going to school for quite a long time afterwards. I wonder if this is a similar situation. If so, then I'll be having work dreams until I'm 80 years old. Maybe even for the rest of my life. Ugh.
