Okay now I'm officially worried about Corazon. At the time of our last contact with her, Manila was in the bullseye of a massive cyclone. So I hope she's fine and maybe no worse off than being without power?

Lotsa damage. Luckily minimum deaths and injuries.

Strong winds and rain from Typhoon Vongfong left at least one person dead and damaged hundreds of homes and coronavirus isolation facilities along with rice and corn fields in five hard-hit eastern towns, a governor said Friday.

Prayers up for Corazon's safety and for the Philippino people who have yet another storm. Corazon, it's so lovely to have you here. Hope all goes well for you and your loved ones.l

Oh, and all but two of the Pumpkin hills had cotyledon leaves this afternoon.They looked so cool!
I'm so jazzed about the pumpins coming up. You can make pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, and this time, it's more than wishful thinking. Night all.

Senior stay-at-home moment (swiped from RDigest.)

After doing some DIY projects around the house, I have a new motto: Do your best to do things right the first few times.

OK. Pumpkin starts:

Hey I'm here!
Luckily we didn't have many damages here just some problems with Internet! The connection kept cutting down (and this could only be due to the typhoon )
Thanks to all of you guys for being worried for me

 

[Corazon]

Goodnight guys!

Oh I'm happy you checked in Corazon. I've been thinking about you and sending up a prayer or two since the typhoon hit. But as you said you guys pretty much take those things in stride.

And now for your viewing pleasure.

An oops moment w/the appropriate attire:

And maybe karma on a shirt. . .

The color coordination on her hotel floor is amazing. . .

No, it wasn't planned. . .

Urban camouflage

Caption this another 'oops' or maybe T-shirt gets lucky?

And another coincidence. . .

⁜→ et al,

I am caught between wishing the old days were here, and wishing I was younger to see all the new things that will come in the future.

I was reading in the news today about the new photonic computer ships. I have a brand new iMAC (with 5 varying types of storage drives) and it only has just over 3 Terabits of storage capacity. These new experimental photonic chips have clocks with enormous performance that will reach 44 Terabit download speeds. That means I could completely fill all my drives with data in less than 7 hundredths (0.07) of a second. I will be long dead and buried when these become commercially available as an option in an iMAC. I'm going to miss out on that.

I just wonder if my Dad ever felt like he was going to miss out on the future? While he did get to see Apollo 17, he didn't last to see the Challenger Flight. He would have never guessed that I have more computing power in my wristwatch than the entire Apollo Mission Vehicle.

Most Respectfully,
R

More fun....... Yesterday the washing machine went on the blink....... About an hour ago went out to the garage with water flowing out from the water heater....... Luckily I found a plumber to come out this afternoon for the water heater. It's gonna cost almost two grand to replace it....... Now I know where the rest of our stimulus money is going........

Yea ! technology has certainly come a long way in my lifetime. I remember the first transistor radio, and the amazement when I saw the first colour TV through someone's window.
In my childhood TVs were black and white, and entirely operated by Valves. I remember wishing I could record films long before the VCR and the later DVDs existed. There were no lasers
There were no home computers, there was no space age, and people still thought there might be people on Mars and Venus.

Those alive up to the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's mostly shared much of the same experiences as the generations before them. Yes technology was advancing as was the ways we communicate, the ways we work, the ways we conduct war etc., but the world was not running yet at speeds too fast for most to adjust. With the onset of the computer age, though, technology development kicked in at warp speed with new innovations going obsolete almost as fast as they were put on the market.

Our generation that has lived for some decades now have seen more new concepts, innovations, advances in medicine, technology, engineering, and information gathering than existed in all the ages that have preceded us.

And IMO, I think we have likely only scratched the surface of what they is yet to know and accomplish.

I think of how much my mother would have loved casinos & computer games, but did not live to experience them.

$2k for a water heater? For the two of you? Ours is about to go out we think but it will be about $500 plus labor to replace it.
