I wouldn't want to be employed in the tourism industry these days. Yikes.

Interesting that, Joe. Walmart was the reason. I don't remember the details but it was basically they canceled an order and I remade it. I don't remember why it was canceled or why I didn't think I'd be charged twice.

And you thought they were just private transportation for cats.

Bikes are gold in many parts of the world. A local bike organization here in Chicago collects, refurbishes, and ships bikes to various international organizations. https://workingbikes.org/

My nice watch is an IWC Portugueser. [image: 1771934856581-img_0772.jpeg] I’ll probably give it to my son as a college graduation present. My daily wear is an Apple Watch. I use it to track exercise and sleep. I really like it for those two functions.

Wonder if there will be a rule that says a stroller must float on water right side up with up to a 40 lb. payload.

Mandelson was arrested? I guess that was inevitable.

@AdagioM said in Weather where you are thread: Can’t believe that snowstorm! It’s 40 and rainy at home in Portland. I’m in Madrid, and it’s sunny and 67. Lucked out! You're in Madrid? How exciting!

I wonder if I'll have one of those again. I'll check. I hope so.

@wtg said in A new Grindr ad just dropped: He probably got up close and personal with a few too many toilet seats. And syringes filled with heroin. I'm not against "drugs." The pharmaceutical industry certainly isn't against "drugs." It's your body. I believe you can do what you want with it. But after witnessing certain drugs shatter what was once a beautiful mind like a pane of glass being thrown on concrete, I know it can go wrong and when it does go wrong, it goes very wrong. It's truly disturbing to witness.

@bernard - when you say internet phone, I assumed it was something through Spectrum. Do you mean a phone number through something like Ooma? edit: I just re-read your OP. If you want to keep a VOIP version, kind of a "landline", instead of going with the NH Broadband option you could do something like Ooma. i haven't checked their monthly cost for basic service, but it used to be quite reasonable. Though given how little you use it, you probably could get rid of it altogether.

I really don't want to know.

Saw those in Missouri. Don't see them in Colorado or Arizona. A doctor in a nearby town noticed that the local barefoot kids that were treated for worms did not get the disease Starlings spread.

What about the battery life?
