¶Renee and I watched a married couple walk into the ocean today as we were floating off the beach. The woman walked in, snorkel gear in one hand and a lit cigarette in the other. Renee and I looked at each other, clearly wondering the same thing — is she going to just flick that into the water? To the woman’s credit, she didn’t. She dunked it, then carefully placed it in a bag she had (I think for any shells she finds while snorkeling).
¶Renee and I looked at each other again: Nice!
¶Then the man walked in, a few minutes after the woman. Same thing, except for the dunking and bagging part. He looked at his kid (who had walked in before both of them), flicked his cigarette in the ocean, strapped on his mask, and swam away.
¶Ugh.

¶I’m 53, and still 16 in some respects. I couldn’t pass this sign without thinking of the fight scene in Caddyshack.
¶“What’s that sign say?”
¶“No bare feet.”
¶“What’s that sign say?”
¶“No fighting.”
¶“What’s it mean?”
¶“No fighting.”
¶I can’t remember the name of someone I met an hour ago, but I remember every line and image from that scene (and so many other scenes from Caddyshack).
¶I love still being 16 in that regard.

¶What can go wrong when you slash beer prices to boost attendance at an event? Before today, I thought the gradual descent into a riot was the only possible bad outcome. Thanks to Ron DeSantis’s experiment with dollar beers, I now know another—crickets.

¶It’s not pretty yet, but I’ve converted my iOS Shortcut for posting posts to Daystream from using Drafts to Ulysses. I had the new version working on the iPhone a couple days ago, but paused a bit as I implemented the iPad version. For some reason, all Shortcuts actions for Ulysses weren’t showing up on the iPad, leaving some of the steps in the shortcut with an “unknown action” label. I deleted and reinstalled the app, thinking that would force everything to arrive, but that didn’t work. Just as I reluctantly accepted the possibility that the iPad version just didn’t have the full feature set, they showed up. Now my Shortcut for posts works seamlessly on both the iPhone and the iPad, allowing me to write on both devices with Ulysses and post from either via the Shortcuts app. This is great!

¶Now I need to learn how Ulysses handles images. Can I post photos to Daystream using Ulysses sheets?
¶It’s not ideal, but basically I should be able to write the description for a photo and then select the photo when the Shortcut runs. The Ulysses sheet won’t actually contain the photo, but that’s ok.
¶Let’s give it a try.
¶UPDATE: It worked (see photo above).

¶The Mets have been an entertaining sideshow in baseball this year. We’ve reached the trade deadline and they’ve realized that their record-setting payroll isn’t going to produce a championship. So now they’re bailing water, dumping two multi-Cy Young award winners on the same day (deadline Max Scherzer to the Rangers and Justin Verlander back to the Astros).
¶Apparently ownership has a new vision for the team, and it’s not the “all-in, multi-superstar” vision they brought to opening day.
¶Looks like ex-Guardian shortstop Francisco Lindor still factors into ownership’s new vision. We’ll see how long he lasts.
¶Meanwhile, I’m watching the Rays dominate the Yankees for a second night in a row. I love this game.
