Nothing like a sunrise during wildfire season.

Very red sun rising over wooded hills.

The dogs have had quite enough roughing it, and are lounging comfortably in the tent with @IamMrsGeek

@VE2UWY @IamMrsGeek I’ve been enjoying it but I’m also happy to now be heading back home where there are comfy chairs and coffee and device chargers and 49” ultra wide monitors

Me: “I need to give someone my resume but I need to make an edit and I’m in Linux.”

Also Me: “Are you going senile? LibreOffice.”

Me: “Never mind! Found the PDF Export option.”

Also Me: “right absolutely that is exactly what i was gonna say just waiting if you figured that out on your own”

@synlogic I don’t mind GUIs, though they aren’t needed for quite as many purposes as they get used for.

And I do prefer text sources for everything, though after looking at a friend’s notes the resume will probably start in YAML for processing and shuffling into whatever specifics are needed for a given gig.
