Given the current state of Dropbox Paper (can’t even trust the metadata,) I can’t be entirely sure why exactly my [original draft](https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/Reviewed-Rock-Springs-Wyoming--CO7txZrHgjwhlVC8diO8fx2xAQ-jeE4RlaRHowleHZOkQqb4) of the mid-Missouri-to-Portland journey story - which included a failed tire slashing and our disquieting realization (at 1AM or something) that we were very near - if not right on top of - the scene of the worst anti-Asian-American massacre in the country’s history - never appeared in any of the dozens of export attempts from that service I’ve attempted over the years.

Yesterday morning, a friend’s inquiry into the pursuit of owning a Jaguar like mine led me to realize this, and you would not believe how much time I spent spinning my wheels to get the original text from Paper to what [you can now experience on The Psalms](https://bilge.world/rock-springs-wyoming). I hope some entertainment might still be gained from it.

My absolute favorite Git client… on ANY platform.

I had the relatively unique experience of coming to Git, mobile-first, via this very application on my iPhone 8 Plus, almost exactly 4 years ago. Thanks to GitHub’s Education program, I’ve had access to unlimited repository creation since that first day, and it’s honestly quite a testament to the power of Working Copy just how much of a mess I made in those initial few months.

Now on my iPad Pro, I keep so many repos (89 as of this writing) that I have an automation that maintains a browsable index of the lot (which is, itself, a testament to Working Copy’s incredibly comprehensive and solid Siri Shortcuts support.)

This is an automatically-generated palette of the latest entries on colornames.org created by my Siri Shortcut. :)
