Was wondering why George Clooney was on a nearby street mural. He was born here

to me, to be seeing this sort of thing reveals the thinking going on in certain camps, the socialist/climate-change/environmentalist influencer types. More of the "let them eat cake" while "we" of course will have air conditioning

We are seeing more hot nights on the planet
I hate it
AC loud in the RV but still able to sleep and my AC works great.

Excessively hot nights caused by climate change are predicted to increase the mortality rate around the world by up to 60% by the end of the century, according to a new international study.

I wanted a new phone with a better camera. I first went and looked at an iphone pro, then looked at a iphone promax. I had looked at the Z-fold as I liked the idea of having a phone and a tablet. Camera is not as good as the best iphone, or even Samsung's Ultra. But it's good enough.

First I went to buy the iphone promax, but learned I could only get it from Apple unlocked. Ended up getting the Z fold.

So I went from a $40 Trac phone, which works fine, btw, to like the most expensive phone there is. Now I'm worried I'm going to leave it behind somewhere and lose it. I've done that a couple times in the last 2 years, but no big deal. I always got it back.

I'm swear, I'm not buying a new phone every year though.

When mine is not in my hand it is in my pocket. I never leave it out in public. And I have an iphone 6.

I have a flip phone without ineternet connection.

Bah, who need the distraction?

Phones are for talking, not watching.

Talking? What’s that?

I can barely justify owning a phone for talking.

.. I never activated my answering system on my current phone. Best thing I ever did. Told everyone, if they really need me to call them, text me.

I probably make one call a week on my phone and maybe answer one call a week. I never surf the net on my phone. Mine is mainly used for texting and checking sports scores in my yahoo sports app.

a fancy office chair will not save you, because it is still a chair. Your body is happiest perching, which is when you sit on a high stool (think a bar stool at a kitchen island), with your rear on the edge of the stool. Perching works because your spine remains in an elongated S-shape ( not a slumped over C-shape), and your leg muscles remain activated, which spurs production of an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase, which burns fat from the bloodstream and prevents that glommed-up feeling. At first, perching might tire your abdominal and back muscles—that’s good! They’re getting stronger. Slowly build up minutes.
