  1. Oh I remember him. He was a fixture for quite a while. The dancers would gravitate to his table near the dance floor. He would pass out paper money like it was napkins.

    He was there with a posse of dancers one night when I was there, and most of them were hanging out at his table.

     

    Either through the use of my amazing seduction skills or merely that they were just bored with DL, I managed to seduce three of them to sit by me at the bar and let me cuddle them while they bought me drinks for two hours.

     

    I was amazed these guys were paying for my drinks until the bartender later told me that they had charged it all to DL's tab! :)

  3. I have a 77 year-old longtime friend who just recently took up the edible habit last year; dark chocolate is already his go-to favorite now.

     

    He figures if there are long term side effects that might show up in 10-20-30 years he's really not worried about them at this point. :)

     

    I'm patiently waiting for Maryland to legalize it so I can try some of that chocolate myself!

  4. Yesterday I could not find my car key. I knew that it was in the car because the car would start. But I could not lock it. My husband and I tore the car appart looking for it. My car dealer is nearby, so I went there. The agent became frustrated too as he could not find it. Finally, he lifted the passenger seat and it dropped out. It was stuck, not under, but in the bottom of the seat.

    So I went to Amazon and bought a package of Tile tracking devices. There were 4 in the pack, so I have one attached to my key chain, one to the husband's keys, and one to our dog. Using the phone app, I can get each tracker to beep. I don't know what it does if the Tile is a couple of blocks away.

    Anyone else tracking things?

    I used Tiles until they stopped working after a couple of years. They worked OK, but I had little use for them. I don't recall ever misplacing anything that had a Tile attached to it, so I wasn't motivated to replace them.

     

    For your car key example, I'm not sure Tile would have helped. I don't think they are super accurate so although they would probably indicate that the keys were inside the car, I don't think they'd be able to pinpoint them to a specific location under a car seat. My experience with them was when they first came out, so who knows if they've improved their precision since then.

     

    Regarding distant Tiles, when a unknown Tile is detected by the Tile app, it "phones home" and notifies the Tile servers where your Tile is located. This is a great feature, but it only works if there are other people in your neighborhood also using the Tile app.

     

    Apple has a new tracking tile coming out "any day now" (lol) and I'll probably try them. The big advantage they are said to have over the Tile tags is that they can track items to within 5-10cm.

  5. I suppose here is a good platform to announce my Semi Retirement as I entered a new career in May. I’m working a 9-5 and boy has it been an adjustment. I’m happy to start the career I dreamed of in an industry I’m passionate about - Wealth Management. I’m upset at the Pandemic for forcing this move upon me sooner than I had planned, but the universe set this upon us all. I love and appreciate my connections and travels. I hope to still travel on a weekend basis and keep in contact with many of you. Overall I must say thank you for everything and it’s been a fun ride. I hope you’re all well and healthy. I’ll always love this chapter in my life. Take care.

    Good luck, Victor. This is an exciting new phase of your life!
