It's simple html code with <sup>o</sup> being the look of it. (This particular entry isn't the actual string because it wouldn't show up when I hit "submit message." I typed the string into the https://mothereff.in/html-entities site we've been using to drop our Wordle scores into and below pick up the code so the colored boxes appear correctly.)

Slowly warming through the high 90s for the rest of the week and 100s by early next week, but in general it's staying in the high 90s for most of the 10-day forecast. We'll take what we can get.

Fussing with eBay that wants to pre-fill in boxes in it's opaque sales form. You have to force it to open every option and see what is selected or you're screwed. The old selling form worked well but is hard to get to appear very often. All of the settings benefit eBay, not the sellers. Still, it's the main way to sell online, I won't go near Craig's List and some of the other phone app ones are not to be trusted. I have sold on Amazon but mainly books, not household stuff or clothes.

I'm getting closer to being ready to put in a new heat pump, but it does take lining up some pretty important ducks (and building in a buffer for unexpected expenses like new ducts in the attic).

I helped my ex set up the Libby app (libraries use it for streaming content, etc.) in his phone yesterday. He's slowly entering the twenty-first century after giving up his slider phone earlier this year. Next we'll try pairing it to Bluetooth headphones. This morning in my email I was surprised to have an email from OPAC that WorldCat is soon offering a site redesign. I've used it for years but I don't remember setting up an account. This is a surprise. (In my experience, "improvements" generally aren't really improvements, they're changes to a system we know how to use to a new system that is more annoying to use. Like eBay.) As with the ex-spouse with the new-to-him device, there is a learning curve that you're just stuck with.
