“What is that thing, Twiggy?”
“It’s a window Bot.”
A window bot? What kind of crazy is that?”
“Dad-kind of crazy. He’s tired of paying to have windows done.”
“So he’s allowed another bot into the house? AI is going to take over.”
“Yep. I don’t know about takeover. Right now it is most annoying.”
“I just wanted to look out and check if there were some St. Louis candidates lurking.”
“Yeah, well, not right now. That thing is doing our window.”
“How long is it gont ot be there?”
“Hard to tell. Maybe five minutes.”
“I’ll keep watch. Maybe it will get the hint and move on.”
“Don’t count on it. Those things don’t listen well.”
“Can we bark it away?”
“Sorry, No. They have no fear of us for sure.”
“I give up. I think it’s going to be there all day.”
“I’ll give you five minutes; it’s really 35 minutes in dog time.”
“That is an eternity.”
“Not quite. Wait. I think it is done.”
Oh no, girls, the bots are taking over! Does it really clean the windows??

Yes, it cleans the windows. Not as well as I could, but at 85, it is a great substitute. Especially for those high windows that need a ladder.

More expense is right. There is a Windex product that attaches to a hose and can reach the upper stories. It does a good job on exterior windows. A lot cheaper than a hired service.
