Switched to a smaller slow cooker a couple of years ago since it’s just 2 of us. If we do end up moving to California, that will likely increase to cooking for 7 or 8. Right in my wheelhouse.

Is this the twilight of the smartphone?
Fascinating discussion. I use my iphone for 80% + of what I do online. My wife uses her Mac more mostly due to her vision. I ’m old and don’t see a smart phone going away in my lifetime, maybe it just gets smarter.

Pau scanning 329 photos left by my Great Auntie who was frequently in Hawaii from 1939-43. Mostly on Hawaii Island. I scanned to PDF. It will maintain better quality for the long term. The originals are likely to go to my daughter. Her other half manages at the Bishop Estate archive.
