Apparently we have the “purchase” that keeps on giving. The “used car” we bought recently has a “built-in back up camera” which was a pleasant surprise. On our trip to Fargo-Moorhead recently, we discovered we also have Cirrus satellite radio service. Yep, there it was. Over 150 stations of “static free” being delivered with our favorite music. Station No.19 is Elvis Presley, 24 hours per day, broadcasting right from Graceland without advertising. Whoa! And it is free! I’ve been told to not get too excited. Cirrus radio is known to install service on a car as a trial and eventually we will need to pay for the service or lose it. Grasshopper No.3 went through the same experience. Then again, because the car is used, maybe the previous owner paid for several years of service and the gift will keep on giving (yeah, right). The question is “is 24 hour availability of Elvis, worth $15 per month”?
In viewing the Rio Olympics, it was disclosed that young people searching for love used the “tinder” app. I guess e-harmony.com is “old school”. If you are hip, “tinder” is the place. What puzzles me is that e-harmony is designed to find you a “life pardner”. What is the “tinder app” designed to do? It sounds like a one night stand.
We had “the greatest show on earth” last Friday. We had two, 3-stories high, arborvitae trees removed. They were encroaching on our garage. I’m sure when they were planted, they were 3-4 feet high and certainly “non-threatening”. The tree service company arrived at 10:50 AM. They left 20 minutes later. They have the sharpest chain saw I’ve ever seen. They have a humongous tree grinder that gobbles up tree trunks with ease. Now all I’ve got to do is find the cash to pay for all the entertainment.
Packers play first “real” exhibition game tonight. The emphasis seems to be to go through the motions, test young people, and do not risk hurting key players. Why even have exhibition games? Dah! Big TV revenue!
Love,
Dad
