    In the trailer for Old Man With a Gun, Robert Redford raises his right arm and uses his right hand as a "hand" gun. What strikes me as odd is that his right eye is squinting. He's squinting with the wrong eye while lining up the sights on his imaginary gun.

    I've been seeing posts from Roto on FB fairly regularly, and I know that she reads my posts there as well. She tends to post when she's just finished a grueling number of consecutive days at work, or when she has just seen another proof that others with whom she has to share the road don't know...

    After reading this article, I've got newly renewed hopes for faster internet than is currently available to me. One thing, though.... the article mentions that providers of 5G service can attach repeater units to street light poles. What the heck are street lights? Four minutes of fun:

    There's also been a sighting of @Semiretired, who wished Matt a happy birthday today on FB.

    Happy Birthday to @MattB101. We haven't heard from him since April but one of his most recent messages was an apology for being too busy with work to spend time in this forum. I know that one of us tried to contact him last month through Facebook and got no public response. Anyway, I did some...

    For some bewildering reason, people who study space rocks are hired to predict the weather. There must not be enough meteors to go around. I figure that's why the forecasts are so frequently wrong.

    Any serious golfers out there? I'm not one of you, but Bob Vokey is my cousin. If you want a Vokey wedge, I can get one for not much more than full retail price. Bob is quite the practical joker. The chances of him giving you or me a free wedge are nil, but the chances of him giving you a free...

    I'll have you know that I find "Crip Spot" to be quite offensive. Shoot, I have dear friends who are authorized to park in Handicapped parking spaces for very legitimate reasons. :thumb: Seriously, YOU can use that phrase and it's hilarious, but rest assured that I will NEVER use that phrase...

    Here's another one where Alexa has too much wax in her ears. If Alexa is more than a few feet away, and there's background noise (like the TV) and I say "Alexa, ESPN 2", she just might say "getting Deadpool 2 on Dish". It's happened twice.

    Alexa's ears perked up when somebody on TV said the word "elections". Time for Alexa to see an audiologist. I did an experiment with my own voice. First, I said "elections", but Alexa didn't bite. Then I gave the first syllable a schwa sound instead of a long e sound, and Alexa thought I...

    At times like these, the lack of an "agreed! funny but not" rating icon is very noticeable.

    All furnaces are heaters, but not all heaters are furnaces. My house, like a great many others in the South, has central heating using a heat pump. All heat pumps are heaters, but no heat pumps are furnaces. Boiler heating is another type of heater that is not a furnace.

    That 70s Show, 8 seasons, 1998-2006. I had randomly seen a number of episodes, but once I got DishTv I started recording and watching the entire series that was being shown on Laff channel. It's so much better on Netflix, though, so I deleted all the episodes I had recorded. Netflix advantages...

    I have no experience with the medical alert systems, but here's an informative article on them. I am surprised at the costs, especially if you opt for GPS. "Fall alert" costs extra as well. I thought it would be much less expensive to get a medical alert system. How to Choose a Medical Alert System

    Legs, I couldn't believe it could be true, but Netflix does great with my <10 Mbps speed and it does great with David Ock's even slower speed. The only other stuff I can stream well is Amazon Prime, but Netflix does considerably better than Prime. I was a total non-believer just half a day ago...

    Well, I'll be hornswoggled! NetFlix is streaming through my Internet connection rather than coming over the satellite. It continued to work for a couple of minutes after I unplugged my router, but then it stopped. Color me scratching my head.

    No Ginny here... she's with Legs. Please don't feel bad... making such mistakes is part of your initiation, and we're happy to have you!
