Unlimited Data


"Unlimited data!" Hey, I like the sound of that! Since for some reason, in my "Photos" folder on my phone and laptop, I usually have 8 or 9 photos of the same image for some reason, and I keep getting "You are out of storage space!" messages. It's extremely irritating when I read these annoying announcements! I thought the salesperson at the phone store told me I had unlimited data! Come to find out I don't really have unlimited data. "The cloud! The cloud!" friends keep telling me. They tell me to transfer all my stuff to the cloud! Yeah. yeah. I know! Well, my cloud tells me I need more storage space and for only $12.99 a month, paid annually, I can have actually own real unlimited storage space! Yeah right!

I know, friends, no need to explain the technical realities of actual unlimited data to me. I'm being a little facetious here. It's just that I hate those notices about...well, you know...that warning! I have decided to purchase a new laptop on Amazon, it will be here in a couple days. My old ones are running way too slow, and my desktop window is cluttered with all those little folder icons, of which I don't remember what they all go to. My new laptop promises to have gazillions of TB space. Sounds like my nightmares of notices I have no more storage space are finally over! I'll let you know in a year or two.

Texas' Big Bend Country

  How can I describe this snapshot of our Texas-Mexico border, taken on a trip we made to our Texas Big Bend country, other than spectacular ! We were driving Texas' state road 170 heading to Presidio from Terlingua. We were a little spooked since we were the only vehicle on the road. Along this section of the road, we didn't pass any other cars or trucks. I must say, this desolate part of Texas is just as rugged as it is beautiful! Every curvy turn of this lonely highway presented yet another picture postcard panorama. It would be hard to believe anyone would risk their life crossing such treacherous terrain, but I imagine some have, at one time or another. In the summer, temperatures go well into the hundreds and the dangers of heat exhaustion and death are very real! Diamond-back rattle snakes and scorpions happily make this desert their home -- we never saw any though. We held our breath while traveling on this deserted, stretch of road, not wanting to think of having any ...

Once We are Retired

Most of our adult lives our commitments consume our time. We don't dislike having to be busy and responsible for others. It's what we do! As we age our obligations and priorities change - that's not always a bad thing! If we live long enough it happens! Once retired, our retirement frees up our personal time, so we can pretty much can do whatever we want. If we have a choice, we can fritter our time away doing nothing , or we can do something !  My interests are all over the place -- seldom am I ever bored. Cartooning, creating caricatures for tourists at popular resorts here in the states and abroad, in the past, and music appreciation, church involvement, sailing, photography, creative writing, cooking and flying my drones, as well as, fooling around with my tractor on our property have been my occupation since retiring in my late fifties. In the days and weeks to come, I want to slow down on my writing to spend more of my time editing and producing my videos for my YouT...

Sleeping with a Fan -- or Not

I'm not a fan of sleeping with a fan -- especially, all night long! My wife is, and that's all I'm going to say about that! Best I don't go there, so I am changing the subject! What about dreams? What are they? Why do we have them? Are dreams real? Let's see, here's what I can report about dreams. "In your dreams!" Now, that's funny! When we dream, we get to act out what we probably wouldn't do in reality. That ca n be fun! In the 19th century, Sigmund Freud pioneered the study of dreams. However, in spite of all the advanced research done with science, through the years, and since then, we still don't know everything about dreams or why we have them.  Here's what I have discovered in my research on the subject of dreams : Typically, we spend about two hours each night dreaming. Our dreams can last anywhere from 5-20 minutes each. Sometimes, it seems, I dream all night long. Other times, I may not dream at all. I don't always rememb...
