I hope those of you with telescopes did your best to track down Santa and his sleigh last night! Here's a shot I captured. He was headed West, must have been on his way to California.
Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate :)

I mentor a young lad with poor literacy skills who is starting a landscaping business. He struggles to communicate with clients in a professional manner.
I created a GPT3-powered Gmail account to which he sends a message. It responds with the text to send to the client.
