I am sure I am not the only one who complains that summer is going by too fast! It indeed seems that way… For me, it all began with a trip to Southern Spain in May, that we thoroughly enjoyed, then a trip to Southern California for a wedding in June and then to Canada for a few days in July. When you travel time tends to go by faster than if you are just hanging out at home. On top of all of this, until mid June or so, the temperatures were not the usual warm ones, instead they were pretty cold.

I have been learning a lot more now by engaging with ChatGPT and Bard than simply asking my phone questions by saying “Hey Google” and asking random questions. For example, the hard work of planting some vegetables by my wife in our garden hasn’t yielded much this year. When I probed the AI tools, I learned that when the temperature is colder than normal this happens. They cite many reasons including the fact that the bees don’t come out when it is colder to pollinate the flowers. Got it. Could I have found this out through Google search, yes, but through multiple steps for which I don’t have time 🙂
