We don’t have any wild fires and the volcano isn’t active, but we still have nice sunsets.


Worn


I often miss the analog days of the 80s. Had a pager, not a phone. Used pay phones. Read the paper, had magazine subscriptions. Looked through the TV guide to see when shows were on. Life was more measured and time off was really time off.


We had our fireworks a day late due to technical difficulties. Nice show


Going to work on a day off for the 2nd time in 3 days. It’s fun being boss.

Someday, we’ll have enough staff that I can have a full day off now and then.


ESPN+ turns out to be a joke, can’t watch anything of substance without a cable subscription.


They both work. If only for nostalgia sake. I tried last year, can’t get a SIM card for the iPhone 1. The kids at ATT thought I was joking and just laughed. The real problem is the network won’t support it.


Have very much enjoyed the international competition more than the EPL season by a long shot. Much more diverse and creative matches. Euro and the Americas


Well, earlier in my life we left Viet Nam and it fell, and here we are further down the road of my life and we’re leaving Afghanistan and it too will fall.

I guess the lesson we haven’t learned is don’t get into a fight you can’t win.


Love this song writing Deacon Blues music.apple.com


We are all misfits living in a world on fire music.apple.com


Found this in the closet. It starts up. The battery fine. Now how to get music on it.


Companies won’t ship batteries outside the continental US anymore. That means no more do it yourself battery changes to my devices.


Very exciting Tour stage today. The tour has been blown up by Pogacar. Great stage win by Dylan Teuns. Loved his interview


Most of my Twitter feed is Brits. They are insufferable with England up 3-nil.


ESPN sells the alternate feed as a benefit. No replays, doesn’t follow the action, follows 2 player and 2 static cameras


I really hate the #Espn only gives me this feed because I don’t have a cable subscription, even thiugh I’m an #ESPN+ subscriber


Dead letter box


Got an Apple Watch for my birthday. I haven’t gotten a new personal Apple device for a couple of years, save for an Apple TV last year. The set up took minutes. After only a day, nice having battery life again.
