I've enjoyed seeing your mushrooms and thought of these posts yesterday. We finally had a few popping up, after a rare rainfall.

They are such great birds.

Had a large spinal meningioma in 2014 (removed) and thought I would end up in a wheelchair. Was a years-long ordeal with progressive loss of function.

The surgery 'fixed me' (miraculous) and now I hike any chance I can get! Walking is the miracle.

Keep going.

The snake trails we see from the bigger gals are a little more sinuous that what this cutey was doing. It's strange to think about moving in such an undulating way, and straight ahead.

Pool looks good. We had a roaming vacuum, way back in Indiana, I recall the algae learned to grow in the corners.

But about Patch. Do the neighbors see him? Is your family on nextdoor-do you compare notes? Is that his official name?

He's a cutey. What do you do when he shows up, besides photos?

During the original STV run we were lost in grief, saw some episodes, not all. 20+ years later we watch the series end-to-end. What tremendous writing, acting, chemistry.

And, I'm so delighted how much the Doctor loves Italian opera. References here, there, everywhere. (a beautiful voice to boot.)

Thank you! I asked another agent too, FWIW.

Using querymanager, can agents see where else an author has queried within the agency or more broadly? If so, can agents see other agents' response to the query?

It's not critical to know, but we mull this on writer sites from time to time. Just curious.

Thank you! :)

A topic that's come up on writing sites is whether QueryManager (as opposed to email queries) allows agents to see a writer's querying history--at the agency or more broadly. If a writer queries w/query manager, does the agent have access to that writer's broader effort to find a fit?
