  1. New laptop. Generally for the last couple of years I've been using a chrome OS pixel book as my daily driver, but some things work better in Windows, so decided to get a new one as my old one is getting old, tech evolves so fast.  Anyway, bought a Lenovo 14" Flex 5, under $ 1K and a really great set of capabilities.

  2. Sad news, one of the old guard, Old Dog passed away yesterday. He was one of a kind, well known for his participation.in CERB, a great supporter of the socials in Ottawa, and will be missed for his sense of humour. Although he wasn't too active in the last few years, we shared a bond, we were both proud grand dads.

    You will be missed, RIP.

  3. My lease runs out next September and I'll probably downsize to a small electric, something to gad around town. But I'm getting on so if money wasn't a consideration I'd opt for comfort and prestige, a two door Bentley.

  4. It's important to realize that there are still risks, and I have discretely taken that risk by continuing to see a few trusted MAs during the shutdown. As the spa owners reopen they must realize that if a client tests positive they might have to share info if they are called by contact  tracers with public health..

  5. I have to agree with Greentreal. I'm elderly and considered a person at risk, but I see a limited number of ladies that I trust. Yes, I accept that there is risk, but I try to be informed and am careful but accept what I consider my risk tolerance.

    My feeling is this industry will not fully recovery to any semblance of normalcy for 1-2 years. During that time it really depend on the testing/tracking protocols and the treatment options that evolve. Until there is a vaccine that has a wide distribution nothing will be the same, and this thing may be with us forever if they need a new vaccine every year as it mutates, just like the flu.

  6. It's rare that series can maintain and sustain high quality after a few years. I am watching two that are in their third season.

    The first is "The Crown", which was very good after changing lead actors with the shift of generations. I believe the fourth season is in the can, looking forward to it.

    The second is "Fauda" , a gritty series unusual for being produced in the middle east and addressing the Isreal/Palestinian issue.

  7. Getting an email today from the bank saying my credit card was compromised. I must say I give the issuer a pat on the back for recognizing the problem so quickly. Have to wait until next week to get the replacement.

    I will note that I keep my card in a rfid sleeve in my wallet, so it probably happened at a vendor terminal.

  8. I'm presently down south. Was at the Bestbuy today so picked up half a dozen sensors and the like for my Samsung hub of things, selection is great in the automate your home section. Don't seem to be stocked at home but have to be ordered on line. My intent is eventually drop my alarm system provider in favour of having it all on my phone.
