Yesterday I went to check on my very neglected Goodreads account and discovered 3 books I hadn't written attributed to me. At first I thought maybe this was AI made by some poor unfortunate who actually thought my name was known enough to piggy back off, but no, they're "writing journals" published through Amazon, which baffled and confused. Further investigation found many people using KDP to produce notebooks. Do people actually buy these? It seems like another passive income scam.

Ive now lived roughly the same amount of time in other states as I did there, but I'm still a NYer. Until I try to get a word in edgewise with my family. That's when I noticed I've slowed wat down. 🤣

If I hear someone from Suffolk County talk now I'm stunned. I'm remembering, though, that when I was a kid in the '60s that a lot of people from NYC were migrating to the suburbs in Suffolk. That's migration patterns and influences a lot. 😃
