Something that keeps you busy when the snow is up to your ass?

as much as i have traveled and moved, the so-called smartphone has been great. when i traded in my last vehicle, there were a ton of maps in the glove box. now, no need. grocery lists? no more paper and pen. accurate weather forecast at any time (if you're on the course for four hours, thing can change). i can check my email from anywhere and respond instantly. when i was in the trades, it eliminated the need for a calculator and a lot of paperwork. i could also order items right now. 

in other words, there are advantages.

I'm with you Al, these flip phone dinosaurs don't know what they're missing!

 

Don't be afraid of technology, learn it and embrace it.

I do know what I am missing Toire. Phones that are always having screens broken and other stupid sh#t problems left and right. Buy and replace, buy and replace, until the sun goes down. How do I know because I buy and replace for three different users under my account with T Mobile.

If I have to be a dinosaur it's going to be a Brontosaurs.

was the brontosaurs a cousin? 

AlCzervik

speaking of cats and dogs, i believe there are planned puppy bowls and kitty bowls being broadcast at the same time as the super bowl.

i have two cats. i have had others previously. i have never seen them awake and playing for any four hour period.

That would interfere with nap time and the energy needed to stare out the window at squirrels and birds.

It’s forty degrees where I’m at.  This is considered a heat wave

Today is Ground Hog Day and Punxsutawney Phil the official Ground Hog of Pennsylvania did not see his shadow today so legend has it that it will be an early spring this year. 

MEXIMARTINI
