Good morning. Happy Friday!
I need a friend like that!
We’re still enjoying cool fall weather. It’s supposed to get warmer early next week.
Wednesday evening when I walked around the complex I saw a lot of police standing outside one building and a long line of cars along one road. I didn’t ask. But we got an email from the complex management yesterday saying someone had been SWATted. This isn’t a big city. Why would there be SWATting going on here? But, there it is. I guess the evil is everywhere.
There’s something wrong with the gmail app on my phone. It keeps telling me that I have a wrong setting so I have to be in offline mode, but it won’t tell me what the wrong setting is. Apparently this is a known issue that’s been going on for a week or more and Google is still trying to figure it out.
Maybe it’s time to switch to an iPhone.
I managed a good Wordle today.

An alien friend!
Wow, a SWATing... pretty wild stuff!
You won’t regret getting an iPhone, especially if you are already a Mac user....
Should be fun.
No dragons!
Good Friday Morning!
Thus far it remains warm and sunny so we will continue to make use of the pool until we can’t... One of the pluses of a warmer climate...
I struggled with this one again today...

Enjoy, looks like a lot of fun!
We got a whole inch of rain yesterday!
Hoping there’s at least one Lagertha running around unattached though... *fingers crossed*
First time going, so I guess we’ll see.
The Danger Committee is going to be there and those guys always put on a great show. Seen them at the RenFest as well as their stand alone Christmas show... Good stuff.

Good for you! We could use one over here.....
Looks like a talented and thrilling act!
I hope you didn’t have to use a rowboat to get around. People ain’t used to that much water in your parts.
Insurance for that show must be through the roof!
I’m about 50’ above the valley floor, no boat needed just yet...
Just remember Noah was in the middle of the desert when he started building his boat.
He was just following orders...
We’ve had a bit of rain. Nothing to crow about, but enough to snarl traffic Thursday morning, with the usual 55-ers white-knuckling along at 45. Or less.

I’ve thought about your hanger problem and I think you should offer them to a dry cleaners. Or find a young couple just starting out and give them a gift of hangers. Maybe crash a wedding reception if you must. Hangers aren’t a glamorous gift, but you can have the confidence that they won’t ever be thrown out or brought to a “White Elephant” gift exchange party.

Android v Apple is a Ford/Chevy Coke/Pepsi, sort of thing: both systems get the job done but they’re different enough that migrating from one to the other is like relocating to Elbonia. Most I’ve know who made the leap endured a “test of faith.” Some of my acquaintances migrated FROM the Apple-verse and claim they’re never going back no matter what.
I began with Android, and found that, if there was anything I didn’t know how to do, I could figure it out; it worked so much like the desktop software I was familiar with that it just wasn’t that hard.
The Apple-verse is arcane.
My brother bought my elderly Mother an iPhone. Four years on and she’s only figured out the very most basic things: on, off, mute switch, make a call, answer a call, end a call. I can monkey with it and figure out some things, to help her out, but they’ve made some aspects of the interface far more clever than intuitive.
Switching from Android to Apple is associated with weight gain, alcoholism, increased tobacco use, insomnia, anger management issues, traffic infractions, and periodically deep feelings of remorse.

It is funny... I had the opposite experience... by the time I made the plunge in getting a “smart” phone and giving up on the flip phone world, I had been a Mac user for about 15 years... I had also acquired a mini iPad and regular iPad... so it was pretty much a no brainer for me to get an iPhone...
Speaking of Androids... Mrs. zz got a new Samsung Galaxy this week, I was trying to help her do a few things earlier today and found the interface beyond frustrating... I wanted to throw it out the window...
She is in the opposite camp... been a Windows user since it first came out, and uses android tablets... for her, the thought of moving to iPhone is chilling....
