^ The rain is supposed to arrive in Berkeley on Tuesday, and it's supposed to continue, more or less, for at least two weeks. I'll be out of town during some of that, but where I'm going it will be colder and I might see some snowfall.

Someone on my stamp collecting forum started a thread for AI-generated stamp designs, so I've been playing around with http://www.craiyon.com and getting pop culture postage stamps that look like they were designed by an extraterrestrial having an LSD-induced fever dream. Here are a few of my favorites; I'll let you figure out who they're supposed to be.

last one is Winona Ryder?

Yep.

HAPPY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!
My heart goes out to those of you who are suffering through the blizzard.

I received my after-life cash as usual for Christmas from my friend. This time it is American currency though. I hope it won’t be needed for some time but you never know do you?

I'm playing with the Picsart AI Image Generator now, and it's much better at producing images of people that look like people. Some celebrity names that I input come out as really grotesque images, but Picsart tends to do pretty well with Winona Ryder. So here she is again, and if the writing weren't gobbledygook, this could be a real postage stamp. I would buy dozens of sheets of Forever stamps with this design.

"I’d like a book of 20 Forever stamps, the new Ryders, if you have them."

"Yeah sure, that’ll be $532.40!"

^ By the time the postage rate gets that high, stamps will probably have been completely replaced by NFTs. Or I'll be dead, God willing.
