Good morning from Ireland !

Spring

Three more paintings from the Algerian Tassili n’Ajjer (‘plateau of chasms’) More than 15,000 rock paintings and engravings, dating back as far as 12,000 years are known. These date from
the Bovidian/Pastoral period (4,000 to 2,500 BC) marked by more realistic images showing scenes of daily life and domesticated animals. It appears to be a society of nomadic herders with their whole life revolving around their animals.

Super cute Mom Mourning Dove in a nest in a wall planter by my front door a few years ago, she had 2 babies and we had to use the garage door entrance for awhile so as not to disturb the birds!

Guess what - more of #Brighton's West Pier, this time from the futuristic October 2005.

Includes mysterious concentric circles etched in the sand, and a random bystander (also looking mysterious).

《完美马提尼的制作》——Guy Buffet

Tried out Google's Bard, gave it a practitioner-level legal research question, an issue on which courts have reached conflicting answers.

Bard's answers were good as a compass but bad as a map: it pointed me in the right direction but messed up some specifics.

Bard's initial answer to the legal research question was good, though it was light on details, made subtle errors, and was outdated by about 18 months.

Bonus points to Bard including links to two reputable, though outdated, sources.
