I just finished clearing - with the leaf blower - our one-and-a-half inch covering from all 500 feet of the driveway, based on the Apple Weather app's forecast of nothing for the next few hours.

So what's happening now?

It's sn*wing.

It’s going down below freezing tonight for the first time this winter. I need to cover some plants.

DR John, we found Alexa's new voice very irritating and have changed it.  There are four voice options.  I don't remember which one we decided on.

Yup.  You don't have to say Alexa anymore, except then that means she is always listening and ready to respond.  We have turned that option off.

Today is a milestone in my medication as I dropped down to only 10mg of Prednisone.  I'm also a bit nervous as my chances of problems have gone up.

Given the sugar, it's not entirely healthy. But it is tasty.

You could have used Alexi and just mumble, Joaquin Phoenix style, the last syllable.
