If you’re having problems with your phone automatically converting quotation marks, don’t use them. Just search Matt Gaetz. When you see the bazillion results you’ll see an option to refine the results.  It should look something like:


If you click The phase “Matt gaetz”, it will change your results to have the correct quotation marks without you needing to do anything on to your phone to change how quotes are done. 

I don't know how you would be storing the HTML part of this, but Filemaker lets you store an HTML page in a container field. Let's give it try.

Makes perfect sense. After all, the whole idea of 'gamification' was to keep people on a site longer so they can be exposed to more ads.

Looking at the weather map, it appears that the dome of hot air is pretty much trapped by a very large meander of the jet stream, which drives a lot of weather systems on the northern tier.  I haven't read anything about it, but if that river of air behaves like rivers of water, meanders are symptomatic of slowed current. I've read that the Gulf Stream, part of the global network of ocean currents, has been slowing as well. Both of these things may well be a result of warming temperatures, and further changes may be in store.

I'm in a small town near Olympia, WA, and it got to 109 here today, a few degrees hotter than yesterday. We don't have A/C, so it's been open doors and windows, plus fans of various kinds.  Even so, I've still managed to get a ~3 mi shirtless walk in early in the morning, while the temperatures were going from 70-something to 80-something. sure, I get the occasional wave, but so far nobody has tried to pick me up.

You are all most welcome. Doing this was our way to honor our friend (and 'water-brother' for any Heinlein fans out there) Bill. Deb is currently in upstate NY, caring for her mother, and will return in another month or two. When we are back together, we'd be honored to have a fine dinner out, and to raise a glass to Bill and the community here.

My Octopus Teacher on Netflix is well worth watching. Nominated for best documentary.

The most recent tarot reading I was part of was done by Deb (my wife) and I, as part of our New Year tradition of getting feel for the upcoming year. Notably, it said there would be a death in April, which turned out to be our friend Bill/Daddy/Guy. The first reading she did for me was at college in 1971. She laid out the cards, snatched them up and refused to tell me what they said to her. (And no, it wasn't a ploy to get my interest.)
For some people, a reading is mechanical, using the interpretations provided with the deck. For others, that's a starting point, but they look at the imagery on the cards and develop their own interpretations over time. There are even readers who use the cards to help the client focus on their question, and get psychic impressions for each 'position' in the reading that's not necessarily anchored to the card.
And each type of deck is different. Some seem to respond better to questions about specific people, places and events. Crowley's Thoth deck, in contrast, provides a reflection of the forces and influences at work in the person's situation, like the political struggle in a family or business setting.
There are also different kinds of reading layout. A simple three-card reading can provide the past, present, and future of the situation being asked about. The Celtic Cross layout provides information about various aspects of the person's question, and can be used to focus in on any one of them, but that's a discussion by itself.

Let's that that thought a bit farther, then. Since Crowley's Thoth deck responds well to questions about the forces at play in a situation, (as opposed to discrete events and people,) we sometimes engage in what we refer to as future-casting. When the querent is faced with several choices that will pull their life in clearly different directions, we do a series of readings. For each one, the question is framed in the form of 'what will be the result of making [choice X]?' The readings then provide a glimpse of the dynamics that result from each choice. It's a kind of visualization tool that helps to put the querent into different probable futures, enabling them to get a feel for what their life might be like in each case, and that helps them to make their choice. Have you ever tried that sort of thing?

I think I imply that in a sense. I tend not to make outright predictions on anything especially since most of my clients don't actually ask their questions out loud for some reason. Not knowing the specifics of what they want to know makes it hard to be specific myself.
I usually ask my clients to focus on one question or one area of their life they are confused about. The first two cards they pull indicate "how they got to today;" the middle card is "what is happening in that moment;" and the final two cards are "where their mind and energy is taking them based on today." I am a believer in free will so I always tell clients you have the power to alter the future by the decisions you make based on the energy you are projecting. Most people have been pleased with my readings.

Just how bizarre is it? Is it a jungle of HTML pages, or is it a database? If the latter, I've used Apple's Filemaker Pro database for doing all manner of obnoxious database conversions over the years. If I can read the data in, maybe I can munch it and spit out something you can use.

What did it want you to get from their server? I ask because when I needed to set up and old printer, it said there was not a suitable driver in my Windows installation, and directed me to let it find and diwnload one from their server. Once it had done so, I could print things, with no further need of their server.
