If I'm reading something, it's either because it's interesting, in which case summarising it would defeat the point, or because it's important, in which case I need to know what it actually says, not what a lying machine pretends it might say.

I love how magnificently the ptarmigan blend into the hillside at this time of year, as they turn gradually white as the hillsides do (when the seasons turn on time). They needed it today with two young golden eagles out looking for food.
