  1. When you think about it there are just too many distractions built into automobiles these days.  All the computerized bluetooth satellite link backup screen seat adjusting wizardry that you can not even opt out of anymore and adds thousands and thousands of dollars to the base price of cars. I mean who has time or attention span to concentrate on driving anymore with all the bs other things to watch and try to keep track of?  Its  no wonder that teslas are killing more people than ford pintos did.  I drove my folks pinto station wagon for years when I was a kid - you had less than half a dozen gauges to monitor and that included the speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge, and battery /alternator monitor.  The radio was strictly AM and if you wanted to go hog wild,  you knew a guy who could install an 8 track tape player and pair of $20 speakers for you under the dash board.

  2. Pretty cat.  And I wouldn't say that just cause you found him in a bad spot he can't be a rag doll or other high bred type.  Cats can be notorious for getting themselves lost from their original owners and as you know not all owners are deserving of their pets either - My snowshoe siamese was about the prettiest cat I've ever seen,  blue eyes and all and he just wandered in one winter looking for a home, half starved,  as a full grown adult.  Have you had yours checked for a chip ?

  3. I am pretty hard on my cell phones- I've always carried flip phone and my most recent 3 have been military grade tough against water and dust/dirt and drops.  I have to find something new and think it might be time to upgrade to an actual smart phone.  I am wondering if any of you out door work or outdoor a lot types have any experience with them and what to look for?

    I own several LI type tools in addition to the usual electornics- I don't charge them overnight either - nor leave Li electronics plugged in when I leave the house -

    what else I hate about preseason?  These 10 minute interviews with a player not playing that produce no new information--just fluff.  Forget the game--lets go to a long interview where a sideline reporter lobs softball questions at a guy who is not wearing pads.  Then the announcers fill the viewers in when they return to action

    Loved it when smitty made the comment about 2 minutes till the half  something to the effect -  " we got some great halftime highlights for you"  .  I about fell out of my chair laughing.

    Edgecombe, Pitt, Wilson, and now Nash counties are getting the majority of tornado warnings so far

    Had them all around us all day yesterday in SE NC- I finally had to ask swmbo to turn off the emergency alert notifications on her phone.

    Don’t really care, there are other preseason games 

    Isn't this on par with last year when all the great huddle foot ball minds claimed that preseason really wasn't indicative of what the regular season was going to look like?  That once regular season kicked in things would be completely different ?
