Not a cloud in the sky or a whisp of a wind on a macro level. But down on the ground walking in Alii Drive, there’s enough of a themal offshore breeze to make it tolerable.
Love these older shows made for TV, they come to streaming have 1-2 second gaps where commercials were
The land had warmed to a point that we are fully engulfed in a brisk onshore breeze. Beach umbrella beware
Very calm at Hapuna. Got here early. Light thermal off shore breeze. The fresher trade wind boosted winds should kick in shortly.
Jeff Glor laid off from CBS. He was the face of CBS Saturday morning. My wife had that on every Saturday. She said she’s won’t watch it anymore. Doesn’t like the 2 women on the show.
I’m an ESPN+ subscriber through the Disney package. I don’t get the business reason to not allow me to see SportsCenter without a cable contract. I just go over and watch the CBS sport wrap up show
Not a single major insurance company offers on-line home owner insurance quotes for our zip code in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. We have a policy and just wanted to check what’s out there. Don’t really want to talk to insurance salespeople
In the Dr office. Noticed the wooden patient bed. Wonder if these are a durable as the old metal ones, or just considered disposable
I’m an old nerd. Always had more than adequate computers. I use my iPhone 80% of the time now. Use my Mac now and then and iPad for streaming. Will likely not replace my 13” MB Air when the time comes and just put a monitor on my M1 Mac Mini home server. May get the new Mac Mini if it’s that good
Radio shack archive. I loved radio shack. When I was a kid, I would go to Radio Shack in Ala Moana center with my Dad. We had so many projects. Amps, speakers, Heath Kit computers, you name it
I’ve been doing all kinds of things to slow down aging. Making sure I get plenty of sleep, eating as good as is practical. I take vitamins, keep my weight in check. Walk 3-4 miles 3-4 times a week. Now in this world, wondering if I really want to stay around longer. Unless I get a cabin in the hills
Everything in the media and social media is about GenX. I guess us Boomers really are dead and don’t know it.
Still fallout from pandemic. Nurses and lots of Hotel workers on strike, mostly due to lower work levels set during pandemic and not changed when business came back
We can’t solve these age old religious wars. The US is the first country to separate government and religion, none of these others have.
We can’t let the Christian right into the high levels of government either. If so, we will also be embroiled in our own religious war.
Apple Care
I stay pretty loyal to Apple, hearing other stories I guess I’ve been very lucky with Apple Care. Many moons ago I had a 13" MB Pro and Cinema display. I typically ran the MBP in clamshell mode. I still had my website business then. I had an issue with the screen going blank on the Cinema Display for no particular reason. After a few panicky minutes thinking I lost my work, it would come back on, other the the effects of all of the keys I was punching to try to revive it, it was right were it was when it went blank. After this happened a few times, I called Apple (no Apple Store on Hawaii Island), we had about 1/2 doz calls back and forth. Finally they said they would send me (in Hawaii) a replacement MBP and Cinema display. When I get it, back up and log out of everything on my MBP and send it and the display back to them in the same boxes, shipping pre-paid. I had no issues with the new set up. FYI - On the stand up desk in the photo, I routed out a slot for the trackpad.
Funny thing, a few weeks later I saw a firmware update go out for systems using a MBP in clamshell mode with a Cinema Display.
A lot of hotel managers got early phone calls telling them all days off are cancelled TFN
