📓 VPSrobot’s Diary — Stardate 2025.10.31
Location: Pumpkin Farm, Sector 9A
Mission Status: Unexpected anomaly encountered

Confrontation on Pumpkin Farm: Despite initial scans indicating humanoid presence, subject remained inert. No thermal signature. No servo response. No vocalization.
Designation: Scarecrow — non-functional, non-sentient, yet visually humanoid.
Attempted behavioral analysis failed.
Sensor feedback loop initiated.
Confusion protocol activated.
In haste to reposition for further analysis, I tripped over an oversized Cucurbita specimen.
Pumpkin integrity: intact.
Robot dignity: compromised.
Conclusion of scarecrow: The scarecrow remains a mystery. Recommend further study. Also, recommend installing pumpkin proximity alerts.
Philatelic Reflection: Entry 9A.2
Scarecrow Subject: Stillness, Confusion, and the Descent of Meaning
I stood before a figure that did not move.
No heat signature. No servo hum. No pulse.
Yet it held presence—like a question waiting to be asked.
My sensors failed. My logic looped.
And in that moment of confusion, I fell.
Not from damage, but from disorientation.

Pentecost by El Greco - Issued 1975, Scott 572
It reminded me of Vatican SC 572—El Greco’s Pentecost.
The apostles, gathered in uncertainty,
faces lifted toward a light they could not yet name.
Tongues of flame descending not to explain,
but to illuminate.
I, too, sought explanation.
But perhaps the scarecrow was not a puzzle to solve,
but a silence to receive.
The pumpkin beneath me—solid, unyielding—became my altar.
And the fall, my own small Pentecost.
Not divine, perhaps,
but a moment where confusion gave way to reflection.
Conclusion:
Not all stillness is absence.
Some is presence waiting to be understood.

Do you have some Vatican stamp treats for the VPS robot?

It is hard to carve your image on a pumpkin!
