    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.

    I stopped doing that around the time bank balances and transactions became available online. I do scrutinize expenses once a month to make sure spurious charges are caught.

    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!

    @RealPlayer said in Free bike: Riding a tandem bicycle with a blind companion is one of the most beautiful things about bicycling. Trivia: the rider up front is called the Captain; the rider behind is the Stoker. Your trivia seems like arcane knowledge to me. How interesting. I didn't know anything about this until now.

    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.

    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.

    I don't think I could because the people are so animated! I'd get very confused. Same with Italians. But I love Italy and admire France.
