The forum has settled down for a nice evening drink, a good meal, a song of heartbreak, a contented dog, the late shift, and adventures in the morning.
Whew! I can go to bed knowing all is right with the cyberworld.
Susie darlin’ - glad to hear ‘Irma’ didn’t do you any damage and you’re safe and well, but our weather forecasters have gone to sleep here as ‘jose’ seems to have dropped off their radar - what’s the latest on that one???
Joe, Jose is forecasted to turn north before hitting North America, though it could hit New England as a tropical storm. Time will tell.
Eliza, enjoyed the late night with you around.
Night to Sweetie Pie and the rest.
I spent a nice evening out for dinner overlooking the intracoastal waterway, a 3,000 mile navigable route from Boston, Massachusetts to Brownsville, Texas. Sitting under the stars and strings of cafe lights, watching barges and boats cruising by, I started thinking about how we hold back on the things we dream of doing,
At our ages, what are we waiting for?
With no good answer, I started planning a dream vacation and sketching out a painting in my head.
I had intentions of a lengthy and thoughtful farewell for the evening, but my daughter just spilled a gallon of orange juice on the wood floors, and looks like an orange grove just blew up. She and one of the dogs is covered in juice and the other three are slidding around frantically trying to lick it all up.
I got one of those chrome cast gadgets from my son, a great little invention, anything you have on your laptop/desktop can be transferred immediately onto the big TV screen, no messy wires, we’re watching an old episode of “Midsomer Murders”, the wife loves John Nettles.
Goodnight folks, sleep well.
Jem, what a nice gift and thank you for the heads up on the Chromecast. I had no idea this was available. I am one of those who has cables running across the living room when I want to stream from my Macbook to the television. In fact, I just emerged from having my head behind the stereo units trying to make sense of a tangle of wires that looks like a nest of serpents. It’s amazing I haven’t been struck by lightning with all of conductivity going through this place.
May there be fewer of the bothersome cables in your life to tie you down…
Tried Chromecast (and other gizmos) not much use, I think the problem is, the first few miles of the signal is through Fibre Optic Stuff, the last 100 yards or so (Not Metres) is from a Telegraph Pole and the Roof.
Long may this be the case, long live 625 lines Pal.
I’m also at the end if the line too, spitfire, and with lowly NTSC
While my internet and cable come and go, I discovered that I have shelves of these entertaining devices called “books” that are both wireless and never need recharging. That’s some elegant technology, if you ask me.
