1 - afisherThis email from United Airlines informs us that COVID-19 has changed our travel routines ... in case you've been living totally off-grid since March. That said, at least they're going to start cleaning their planes for once!
1 - afisherFrom Arizona Family news (azfamily.com) is a bit confusing journalism. If the police don't know who the owners are of the missing emu, how do they know the emu is actually missing? Perhaps the emu does not have an owner and is simply on walkabout …

afisherHopefully they'll build some bigger, more impressive waterfalls! With laser or LED lights synchronized to music. Seriously, if you ever get the chance, I highly recommend staying overnight at the in-park lodges in Bryce Canyon and Mount Zion …2- afisherIf you're interested, check out Juganu, an Israeli startup that makes hi-tech street lights that (1) are energy efficient, (2) have integrated traffic cameras, and (3) a mesh WiFi network that keeps you connected while you drive down public …1

afisherQuite so. The problem with the Internet is folks generally don't know when you've made a joke. As The New Yorker magazine prophesied way back in 1993, on the Internet nobody knows you're a dog... 😉
5- afisherToday, Cortana decided to help me manage my time better. Admittedly I'm not the best time manager in the world, but scheduling my day for me seems a bit much. Pretty soon it will be assigning my sleep period, my eating period, my working period and …
