¶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!

¶Sunset will occur tonight at 08:54 PM. My sunsetter script is set to take a photo at that time and at six deviation times.

¶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.

¶We had a thunderstorm roll in just as we were eating dinner. Heavy cloud cover and rain made it look like the sunset would be washed out. Then the rain stopped just in time and the clouds broke to reveal a real beauty.

¶Ulysses works fairly well with Shortcuts. This could make it a lot easier to publish to Daystream. Will keep tinkering.

¶Working with Ulysses on my iPhone while Renee is driving for a bit. What a great app! I can see how this could greatly improve my writing by reducing the time it takes to move something from my mind to paper, so to speak. Both for personal and professional writing.
¶And I think I can hook it directly into my existing Daystream workflows that use iOS Shortcuts.
¶Trying that now…

¶Futuristic stuff that we’ve waited decades for seems now to be arriving in rapid fire succession. AI, of course, has garnered headlines (and mind space) for the last several months as ChatGPT rolled out new versions. And Congress received seemingly credible whistleblower testimony alleging that the U.S. government has been covering up, for decades, evidence of aliens and their spaceships.
¶On the good and not-so-scary side of this, we have had the Dick Tracy watch for some time now (with the Apple Watch).
¶Maybe flying cars are right around the corner.

¶Headed to St. Pete Beach today. Left Perrysburg at our usually time ~4:15 AM. It’s a long drive, but I truly look forward to it. I’m not exactly sure why, maybe it’s nostalgia (been doing it my whole life), maybe it’s the “dashboard thinking time,” maybe it’s the opportunity to catch up on podcasts. Whatever it is, SPB here we come!

¶Our drive to St. Pete Beach went fairly smoothly. We arrived at about 9:30, which is pretty good for us. We had a few slowdowns along the way, but nothing too bad. Weather was a bit choppy–a few downpours here and there.
