The lit old timers thread

Nice to see you, Pink. How goes that wild fire?
We don't currently have any smoke so I'm not sure if it's out or not? I'm guessing it's out. I hope things are good with you and your family.
 
Pretty good, we had some pet challenges, but they are on the mend. No smoke here for a week or so.
No plans for the holiday, other than taking care of things that I procrastinated with last month. We are supposed to set a record temperature this holiday.
 
It's a holiday weekend. Are there any old timers lurking about?
At my cabin, drinking coffee and snuggled up with the grand-dogs right now. A strange blue color to most of the sky that's been shades of gray for a month. The gray comes back this afternoon along with the rain this evening. Tomorrow will be a wet day. But, the cabin's got a damn fine roof and a wood stove. Life is good.
 
we're both currently indoors binge-watching Killing Eve again

so much else i probably should be doing but meh
 
Yeah..I thought about those and just didn't see the point. Feels redundant kinda
Except if you live alone and have a fear of falling and no one checking on you for weeks. They'll find me and Bloobie's stupid cats will have eaten off my face. That Dick Tracy thing looks pretty inviting, now doesn't it? I bought one finally. It's still in the box sitting on my desk...

Clearly your plan is working out lol

That's because you're too young to have grown up with Dick Tracy newspaper comics. Just as the flip phone was like having a season 1 Star Trek communicator, the smart watch was like having a 2-way wrist tv. Not that I bought one ( on account of my geezer eyes), but I thought that they were way cool.

Well, it does look cooler than a medical alert device! Good idea. Getting it, I mean. Not the part about leaving it on your desk.

I know who dick Tracy is.
I just find them redundant personally.

My watch was cool enough to call emergency services and my wife when I was out cold after an incident where my helmet protected head augered into the ground when mtb riding by myself. Ain’t the best, but it works.

Redundancy saves lives.
