Biden Inauguration ‘Field Of Flags’ Illumination — Video.
YouTube Videos.
Click to watch.
Some, alas & inexplicably, have NO SOUND. So, don’t panic.
Impressive. Cute. Touching.
The illumination, with 46 pillars of light to denote that Joe Biden will be the 46th President is symbolic & a nice touch.
You should definitely watch at least one of the videos.
Pity that two of the videos (the first two) do not have sound.

Amazon Is Now Trying NO-Packaging Shipping — One Extreme To Another.
Click to access original post.
Click to ENLARGE.
A ‘Roku Ultra‘ I received yesterday. Yes, it was Sunday & you can see that the Amazon label, at the Top Right, says ‘Sunday Delivery’.
But, the most striking thing is that it came WITHOUT ANY PACKAGING. Not even in a padded envelope or plastic wrap.
Just the Roku box with the Amazon label stuck on it.
I think this is NOT acceptable. Amazon has gone from OVER PACKAGING to the other extreme.
I have some objections. Sometimes I want to see the BOX, e.g., say a LEGO set. I also would like SOME protection & privacy.
BUT, a good start. I know that Amazon will sort it out in a few months. They always do.

Such A Good ‘Likeness’, It Could Have Been A ‘Selfie’.
At a ‘Chinese’ dry cleaning joint in ‘Joy St.’, Boston.
When I saw it I thought I was looking in a mirror.
Could very easily have been a selfie.
They say people turn into what they eat, & if so, this makes perfect sense. I eat a pig, on average, every two weeks. Yes, I eat some pig product –chop, ham, sausage etc. — nearly every day. I live on pork.

Traveling Across 7-States, 1,250-Miles, To Pick Up Puppy, During COVID-19, Is Challenging & Complicated.
We take COVID & COVID precautions seriously. Three of us in this household are considered high risk — I due to my advance years. So, we don’t ‘mess around’ when it comes to COVID.
That said I am not used to having travel restrictions! I did do two road trips last year — & there were NO restrictions we encountered. So we were always in compliance.
NOT SO NOW! Yikes.
New York state & Pennsylvania have some pretty onerous restrictions — at least on paper. We have been told by hotels that we can ‘bypass’ them. We would NOT be in NY or PA for more than 24-hours. But, I have this thing about being LAW ABIDING — though, interestingly, most of the COVID restrictions are NOT laws per se.
I was going to take my 14-year old via Niagara Falls. It is one of the few places she really wants to visit. But, IF I were to comply with NY ‘rules’ it would be complicated. So, we are NOT going to mess around & VIOLATE any restrictions.
All the states allow you to DRIVE THROUGH as long as you only stop at rest stops … gas stations etc. — & are not in the state for more than 24-hours.
So, I am going to drive from NH to Ohio ‘non-stop’. 10-hour drive. I can do that. Once we get to OH we will be in compliance. So, that is good. Staying well within the restrictions.
Bit bummed about Niagara Falls. I have seen it over 30 times (minimum). C’est la vie.

Garmin Connect APP (2021) NO LONGER Show Monthly Step Totals!
Click to ENLARGE.
From Garmin Forums. Yes, this is ALSO my gripe.
Click to ENLARGE. You can no longer get the WHOLE month. STUPID.
Click to ENLARGE. Luckily you can still get MONTHLY totals from the PC version.
Garmin has done it AGAIN. Thinking that any & all CHANGE is progress. No. No. Not so.
Why change something that was perfectly good.
I do want to see MONTHLY totals. Now I am screwed. I can’t get that on my phone. I have to logon to the PC version.
STUPID. Stupid.
Uncalled for. Who asked for this.
Give us both. Weekly & Monthly.

Commitment To Walk 500,000+ Steps/Month Means You Have To BRAVE Storms — Even TORRENTIAL Rain.
Click image to access post.
WOW. It bucketed down today — till mid-afternoon. Torrential rain & gusty winds. WHAT TO DO?
I could have tried waiting until it stopped — BUT then it might be getting dark, & I PREFER to limit my ‘night walks‘ to 2-miles or below. Plus, I wasn’t sure whether the dog wanted to go out. He did NOT. He was NOT having anything to do with this weather.
I, as I had done a month ago, wore TWO layers of outerwear. It kind of works. Outer latey gets soaked.
Snow is ALWAY much better than rain! Trust me. I know. Rain is wet. Snow not as much. When the ground is FROZEN (as it was today) they are BOTH slippery. That was an issue.
I wear the yellow glasses to keep the rain from my eyes. Pretty simple. Logical.
Well, I did 10,589 steps in this rain. SMILE. Felt good. I was SOAKED. But, I think I will live.
