    Playing online poker

    I've been lucky so far that I play okay enough that I don't have to buy chips. (Plus when I lose bigly, I simply go into Settings / Storage and delete the storage data, which action fools the algorithm into automatically giving me 30k free chips.) What I can't stand about myself in playing...

    Buying a new smartphone

    Am going to need to get a new one by summertime (next month?), when I hope a good sale's going on. My budget is cheap, so something under $300 for me, probably a Motorola G Power. (Tend to drop my phones, so an expensive 'phone is not an option.) Three days' worth of battery power is a major...

    New words

    What word have you come across lately that is new to you and you probably won't ever use in your everyday vocabulary but is still pretty neat? My latest is flueric, which means a fluidic device without any moving parts. That is, a siphon or sink trap. Other flueric devices are found in the...

    When will the SIP end?

    I say in May, maybe May 11. Deaths and number of ill people is slackening somewhat in the SF Bay Area. Maybe in three weeks the curve here will have flattened enough for the powers that be to lift SIP but to continue encouraging we wear masks, gloves, and washing our hands a lot. What do you...

    Any BARF LEOs been to the FBI shooting range in Reno, NV? This a.m. I talked with a town cop who, among other things, told me he'd been invited to shoot at the FBI Reno range. He also said FBI agents have gone back to shooting 9mm pistols. (Something about most Fibbies not being able to...

    Dumbest thing you did while out riding

    Me? Somehow I managed to put the kickstand on my left boot while I was still astride the bike. How I didn't break a toe, I guess I owe it to my Sidi boot. And was I grateful that the rider who came to my rescue didn't laugh at me. You?

    If you could go back in time ...

    ... to redo something you did or didn't do, what would it be? Me, I'd stop telling mom over the phone to go to the mall and walk. Instead I'd have driven the 45 minutes to her house and insisted we walk together at the mall to get her in shape. And do this at least once a week. But I didn't...

So I need to dial my attitude way back. Like no more road raging. If I want to die in a crash, the best...
