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.

SSK 2TB PORTABLE Storage, With Built-In Wi-Fi, For Backing Up Android Phones, E.G., Google Pixel 4.

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.

“Tesla” (2020) Movie On Amazon Prime — Glorified Rather Poor Documentary; At Best Just For Buffs.
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.

August 27 — An Anniversary That Is Only Important To I (2020 Edition).
Click to ENLARGE.
Adoptive Parents got married August 27, 1952 (68-years ago).
I have spent TOO much time in the U.S.
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.
