In the early 1980’s, our family bought a VCR for playing video tapes. There was a big controversy initially about the VHS format versus the BETA format. We eventually settled on VHS because it was universally favored. We even bought a VHS video camera to continue the format. The VCR is going the way of the buggy whip. The last VCR will be manufactured at the end of this month, July, 2016. The video tape technology lasted 33 years. Your Mom has many, many family memories in VHS format. If those memories are to be preserved, they need to be converted to a current format. What the hell is a current format?
I understand that one individual has maxed out the PokemonGo game challenges. He has captured 132 dastardly characters. In the USA, that is the most you can get. Apparently there are several “extra” characters available in foreign countries (like China and Japan). That means to be the ultimate world champion of PokemonGo, you must travel abroad. I think the design of the game is genius. I also think people need to get a life.
The Green Bay Packers started training camp this morning at 8:15 AM. They need to field a great team so they are successful and it protects my investment. I see that Jordy Nelson is listed on the injured, unable to perform list. All I’ve heard for months is that Jordy has been the model athlete and rehab has all been ahead of schedule. Then why is he listed as injured. I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer sometimes but I would think the Packers are scared to death that Jordy might get reinjured during practices. They found out last year what happens when someone as fast (and smart) as Jordy is not in the receiving core. I bet Jordy is not “injured” when official season begins.
Your Mom and I watched several episodes of “Stranger Things” on Netflix last night. It reminds me a little of the X-files.
Stay cool.
Love
Dad
