Trying to pick up from where we left off yesterday in Claude Cowork and I'm getting constant "Server is busy" messages.
I'm inclined to believe that an enormous number of Mac users are exploring what Claude can do.
I'll try again later.

The screen door is open and I can hear the birds singing. It's 50°F out there, but no wind. Just an absolutely beautiful morning. It's supposed to cloud up later, with possible thunderstorms this afternoon, but I'm just going to enjoy this for now.
I haven't extolled the virtues of living here lately, but we still love it. When we went to the movies on Monday, Mitzi observed the 35 minute ride was little different than what we'd have spent in the car in Florida.
In terms of time.
What was different was the experience. There is almost no traffic. Occasionally you'll get stuck behind a car driving under the speed limit, but we're retired, not in a hurry and you're still moving. To go to the movies in Florida we'd be in stop-and-go traffic, staring at a suburban sprawl landscape, competing with dump trucks and cement trucks, sitting at lights, sometimes for two cycles.
If we drive down the hill going south, you can see two waterfalls from the top of the hill. The landscape is just gorgeous.
This image is perhaps unremarkable, but I love it. I'm looking very much forward to being able to step out onto our deck in our new home, perhaps 15 to 20 feet above my current elevation, with the power lines below the horizon. I'll sit out there on the deck and watch the shadow of the hill retreat.
I still feel a fair amount of anxiety about the new build. I'll feel better when we've settled on a design. But I have no anxiety whatsoever about the decision to live here. Winter was winter this year, and we endured. It didn't scare us. And we'll get smarter and better at coping with it as we get more experience.
We love it here.
Shout out to AKMA and Margaret who are looking forward to owning their own home. It is a different experience from renting. Property taxes for one thing. But there is something about being completely responsible for your domicile. It's challenging in many ways that renting is not, but it's rewarding too. I wish them the best of luck on closing the deal and moving into their own home.
