Brilliant Advice Given

Someone gave me a brilliant idea: let AI write a book for me and finish it faster so I can put out more books to sell. Problem: AI-generated material cannot be copyrighted. They call it public domain, so anyone can use it. Sure, I can generate an AI-written book and sell it, but so can everyone else, and not pay me royalties, since I don't have copyright law to stop them. I am allowed a copyright if I use AI for editing/proofreading, like changing verb tenses and correcting spelling, or even rearranging a sentence, but the plot, characters, and storyline are my ideas. Besides, AI suggestions are often concise, choppy, and flat. I write better stuff. AI way: A red ball bounces downstairs while Gilda sews a gown to wear for next week's ball. My way: A red ball started bouncing down the stairs as Gilda embroidered spring flowers onto her new gown, interrupting her daydream of the ball next week

Fun Dog Walk

Bumped into a group of children on our walk today. And of course, the children asked to pet the dogs. Anna jumped up on everyone and then rolled on her back to receive belly rubs. Rufus sniffed everyone making sure they knew he was there. Most people go crazy over the Corgi and completely ignore the Terrier/Chihuahua mix who barks when jealous. The kids were ready to take them home cause they are so cute and sweet. Then they got bored and walked away and we finished our walk. Dogs were so happy the rest of the way home.

Hiring Repairmen

Why is hiring professionals so difficult? You tell them what you want done and they give you a quote. Select the best deal and workers show up asking me what they are suppose to do. They do the job and it is not what you discussed with sales rep. It's what they feel like giving you in a cheap ass, unprofessional DIY project way. Then they are bewildered I am upset. What did they expect when you don't give the customer what they asked for? The finished work is not we discussed. Hopefully, they will come back to finish covering my gutters with new toppers, as I asked the sales rep who came back for the check on the roof repair. At least they did an excellent job on that. The water dripping in the basement decreased a lot.

Assistant Teacher Audition

Well, did another short practice teacher session with 3 instructors and they still won't let me assistant teach classes. I need more practice giving cues. Great. Wonder if I ever will get certified. I need 10 assistant teacher hours to apply for apprentice teacher job that pays as an employee to complete my practice teaching hours then complete certification test. Now the fridge is leaking water. Pretty sure it is not dropped ice melting cause it is too much water. Need to call repair person. Does my life not suck enough? Water still dripping in the basement. Have to wait for the water to finish descending from the walls. Flashing replaced and waiting for gutter tops. Took the dogs to local park lake, river still high but getting lower. The boat ramp was still flooded and part of of parking lot, better getting better.

Another Story Finished

Finished another story. Now to edit. It's about World War II and the Holocaust. Gripping. Took dogs to the groomer today. Took a walk around the neighborhood as soon as we returned and Anna had to roll around in the grass, dirt, and on concrete. Ran into kids who wanted to pet them as we walked passed a daycare. Another lady doing yardwork stop to pet the pooches.

Dog Walk

Took the dogs to local park lake today. River flowing by it was mighty high and almost touching the new bridge they are building. Boat ramp area at entrance parking was overflowing into the parking lot and had barriers up. Anna tried to drink the lake water. Yikes, bacteria. Pulled her away. Very nice day for a walk.
