Yes, Yes, yes. I know. I always take things to the ‘extreme’. I SURE am NOT hurting/harming anyone or myself. My time. My most precious resource. MY TIME. Well, I do not squander it. New thing is listening to educational AUDIBLES while I do the bulk of my walking. SMILE. I am learning. I am learning. Yes, yes, yes.
500,000 steps a month is now becoming the new norm. 4-months of that. SMILE.
I had my quadriceps tendon repair surgery,
at ‘Frisbie Memorial Hospital‘ —
performed by Dr. Charles Blitzer
of ‘Seacoast Orthopedics‘
on Thursday, March 7, 2019.
There was no pain to talk about
— throughout, from surgery to now.

This is when I am TRAVELLING & don’t have ready access to FAST Internet to backup my pictures on the cloud.
We, with our PHONES, take cloud backup for GRANTED but that is contingent on having decent Wi-Fi/Internet — especially when you take as many pictures as I do.
What happens if you don’t have Wi-Fi/Internet, the connection is patchy or it is just too slow. Your photos don’t get backed-up. That is OK UNTIL something BAD happens to your phone — lose it, drop it, break it or you accidently delete the photos.
That is where this little (& it is small enough) GIZMO steps in.
It has its own built-in Wi-Fi.
You connect your phone, Google Pixel 4, in my case, to that Wi-Fi. Yes, you have to type in the password each time.
Once you are connected & LOGGED IN (password AGAIN), Bob’s your uncle. It will automatically backup your pictures. Just what I wanted.
Why Wi-Fi rather than an USB connection.
Bloody Android 10! Clobbered USB-attached storage. I tried. I tried.
That is when I found this. This works.

Inflation Simplified — Jamaican Style.
YouTube Video below.
It is cute. Just 30-seconds.
What is REMARKABLE is that it was made by the “Jamaica Central Bank” (JCB) — their Government Agency responsible for their monetary policy. Their equivalent of the U.S. ‘Fed’.
Impressive.
I heard about this video on NPR’s ‘MarketPlace’. It intrigued I. I had to go find it. Then, I would have been remiss IF I didn’t share it with you.
Enjoy. Concentrate. You could learn a thing or two about inflation.

Father Churchill & I are NOT strangers — though we have yet to meet.
We know each other through my books. He contacted me over 10-years ago after seeing my “Pope Names” book. We have been penpals ever since.
He is no stranger to the readers of this blog. He helps me out.
But, his review is genuine. Honest. SMILE.

“Tesla” (2020) Movie On Amazon Prime — Glorified Rather Poor Documentary; At Best Just For Buffs.
Click for Amazon Prime Video listing.
Click for IMDb.com listing.
YouTube trailer
NOT to be confused with ‘Current War‘. That wasn’t stellar BUT much better than this. I am glad I had seen ‘Current War‘ because it filled in many of the gaps that this movie overlooks.
Strange. V. strange movie. Really a documentary disguised as a movie. The ‘freewheeling’ & ‘unconventional’ terms used in the movie description are spot on.
You are probably much better watching one of the many — much better — videos on YouTube.
Kind of felt cheated. Didn’t come close to what I was expecting.
I would find it hard to recommend this movie. Sorry!
This review on IMDb.com gets it spot on.

Adoptive Parents got married August 27, 1952 (68-years ago).
I have spent TOO much time in the U.S.
Click to ENLARGE.
I try to mark this day, viz., August 27, every year with a post. To be honest it is only meaningful to I and I am the only one that cares,
Wow. I left Ceylon 53-years ago. As I get older the percentage of my life I spent in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) shrinks.
Left from Katunayake Airport which in 1967 was pretty small — just one, ‘one-room’ building. Quite a few people came to see us off. It was night. I think the flight left around 9pm. We left on a Pan Am 707. My first time in a jet — though I had flown quite a bit on DC-3s. I had always liked the 707 and it is still one of my favorite planes today. First stop, for a day, for Athens, Greece.
44-years, to the day, I walked into IBM! Wow. Much water has flowed under the bridge in Romsey.
P.S., Lord Mountbatten’s assassination was on August 27 — in 1979. I was still at Hursley and remember it well.
