Alrighty then, time for the perfect million dollar potato picture. As inspired by Show Your Potato by @old-guy-photos and as a part of his Monochrome Monday photography I came up with:

I was trying for a nice Halloween type feel in the lighting. Picture these strange tubers gradually growing deep within the ground, waiting for the perfect time to reach up like a hand from out of the grave. Reborn into the light to sprout once again.
Anyhow... here’s the color version:

Short update
I’m working away trying to acquire some seed capital for my bot experiment. (Picture an elderly looking computer scientist posing in a lab coat next to a replica of the ENIAC complete with spinning tape drives and flashy gridseed miners... or perhaps one of my previously posted desktop photos would be better, LOL) Your always welcome to upvote my posts to help out with capital acquisition. I’m planning to establish some more funding into @litesplasher my secondary account to feed the bot.
I tried to get the drphil bot code working. It runs, but no happy voting happens. :(
I may try to figure out what is wrong with the code and see how I might modify it. With any luck I can get it to run my “Secret Algorithm” What is it? Well it wouldn’t be a secret, if I told you but I hope to be able to use the bot to reward people who resteem my content, comment and vote for me. It is getting hard to manually vote all the time and takes a lot of my time.
It would be nice if I could program the bot to discover new content that fits specific “secret” criteria and vote for it on occasion too. That way I can pretend I’m “Google Inc.” or something, LOL. (Actually, hopefully my bot programming won’t get that involved and I’ll likely open source the code if I get anything worthwhile done.)
Yup, but it could become, “Doctor Phil’s secret zombie embalming bot code by @lightsplasher.” To be locked away in a vault only be shared with close personal family. But open source is a much better approach in general, I do believe.
You probably won’t be able to buy votes from the bot like some other services out there and I still plan on doing most of my voting manually.
Thanks for reading! I always value your support and comments. The pictures were taken by me with my Galaxy S9+. Text and graphics copyright 10/15/2018 lightsplasher & litesplasher.
