So I was checking out this whole tarot card thing, you know, just for fun. I found a website that had this neat list of tarot cards. It was all organized and everything, so I thought, “Hey, why not grab this list for myself?”
First thing I did was open up my browser and went to that website. The list was right there, clear as day. I figured the easiest way to get it would be to just copy and paste it. I highlighted all the card names, and descriptions, and whatever else looked important, and copied it. Easy, right?
Then, I opened up a new note on my computer. I pasted all that stuff I copied into the note. It looked a little messy, all jumbled together, but it was all there. I went through and started cleaning it up a bit. I used bullet points to make it look more like a proper list.

After a while, it actually started to look pretty good! It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely better than that messy paste. Now I’ve got my own little tarot card list to look at whenever I want. It’s kind of cool to see them all laid out like that. Maybe I’ll even start learning more about what they all mean someday.
