Where's Alex?

 Today is special in the paradoxically odd scheduling universe I work in: today is my Saturday and according to the calendar this is Saturday.  There is a bit of a contentious point, however, in that I have to work tomorrow, which means today might actually be considered my Sunday.  Or maybe I should think of it as a Combo Weekend, where both days are smushed into one, and call this my Satursunday.  That doesn't exactly work for me since it's impossible to scrunch 48  hours into 24, so maybe I'll just call it a day off since my weekend actually begins on Tuesday.

I did order a color printer last evening, an Epson.  Rather than go with a laser, I went with an inkjet which has a lower cost and, surprisingly, better reviews.  The dpi (dots per inch, I believe) is higher on the printer I'm getting then on most laser printers.  It even works with Alexa...  That's a bit of a joke.  I have a tablet which works with Alexa and she is turned off.  You see, Alexa listens and I have a habit of talking out loud.  Alexa doesn't understand what I'm saying (bad AI) and will either say the equivalent of "that does not compute," or display something extraneous on the screen.  Some might enjoy watching a video on olive picking because Alexa incorrectly interpreted what they've just said.  Not me.  Of course, I also have a problem of having to talk to Alexa rather then Alex.  Why does society seem to think our assistants need to be female?  For example, if Alex misinterpreted what I said, I might actually watch something like this:

Bathwater has just published his first book on Amazon. Give it a look.

Also, the 2nd impeachment trial for the Idiot Jerk is set for February 8.  Since he's listed as a Republican, enough Republicans will never vote to find him guilty since that implies their own guilt.  However, I understand a number of them are 'agreeable' to using the 14th Amendment to keep him from ever holding office again.  There's a paragraph in there about initiating and / or participating in an insurrection.  This might prove necessary because in his tiny mind he believes the lie that he won.
