Christmas Eve is a sad day for me. I dropped my Pixel 4XL and the front screen has cracked. It is moderate and the phone functions. So I will have to spend the money and get it fixed 😞. Especially since I have at least another year.

Merry Christmas Eve to everyone! Hope everyone is doing great. My family is doing as good as can be expected in light of everything. We are all COVID free which is great. Just wanted to remind everyone to keep in mind The Reason for the Season the birth of Our King Jesus. So while you celebrate and get and give gifts remember the true reason why we celebrate.

I have to say Disney+ is a hit and the Series The Mandalorian is great. I just watched the Season 2 Finale and it was 9 out of 10. Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni should have been handed the keys to the Star Wars Universe. They have the best handle on the Star Wars Canon and tying all the Star Wars Universe Materials together. Abrams did a disservice to the Star Wars Universe.

Here is my hair post haircut. I feel lighter and it is cooler. The barber is great! I still didn't feel safe too many people in there this time but we all had mask on, so I think it will be OK. We stated away from each other.

This is the longest and most out of control my hair has ever been. This is my pandemic Covid-19 hair. I will hopefully be getting a hair cut on Monday after work. It is way too hot for this long hair.

It has been a long time since I post a blog. I really have just been working and trying to keep my sanity with the political theater lately. I have voted and it has been turned in and can't wait for the election to be over. I am also looking forward to Thanksgiving week. I will be off 4 out of the 5 days. I will be gaming mos of the week.

Petals are last dog would have turned 16 years in October of this year. We had to put her to sleep today as she was suffering from some kind of medical problem (either tumor or stroke). She was a great dog and was always happy to see anyone of us.

My family and I have been doing fine. We have not been sick other than I have a minor sinus infection. But again none of us have been tested so we don’t know if we are carriers. We try to keep away from everyone and only go out for work or the grocery store. I wish there was reliable testing everywhere. I blame China for this and wish we would pull everything out of there.

Thank you to all of you that have wished me Birthday wishes for my 51st Birthday. I can’t say it was much of a celebration in the light of being in a pandemic. But, the wishes were great and I wanted to thank you all. Thanks to my mother for one of my favorite dinners and the red velvet cake. Hopefully, next year will be a little better. Stay safe everyone and let’s pray that God will guide us through this and his will be done.

It is the end of an Era for the Mitchell Tribe as I have sold the Inverness Property I inherited from my Grandmother. I tried to hold onto it until I could fix it and improve the land with a new trailer but after 12 years and money lost I sold it. I remember spending my summers up there with my Grandmother and my family going up there and watching the fireflies and walking up there and being able to just relax.

Well, I hope everyone is doing great and keeping their social distance and washing their hands. The Wuhan China Virus is teaching us a lot as a Nation and People. Here is what I am learning so far. 1. Our Internet Infrastructure is not adequate if a majority of people are working from home. Congress in their Coronavirus 4 package needs to include money to finally bring fiber to every corner of the US and I mean wired either through their own through municipalities and through grants to private companies.

I have been thinking lately about a lot of things broadband related. If telecom and cable companies don’t start investing in building out high-speed internet they are going to lose. When Starlink and OneWeb and even if Kuiper gets up and running they are going to lose a good portion of there customer base depending if these low orbit satellites residential price is right. Centurylink and Frontier will definitely be bankrupt and probably under Government control.

This will be my last entry for 2019, my 50th year on this Earth. This year has been a much better year than the last few in many ways and worse in some ways. Overall, I will say I did not mind this year. Not sure how 2020 will turn out for me, but I am hoping it will build on the positive things from this last year. My 50th year overall was positive and hoping 2020 will continue.

I watched Season 2 of the New Lost in Space from Netflix. This is the greatest show Netflix has. It was outstanding. I can’t wait for Season 3 and hope I don’t have to wait another year. Netflix get to work or sell it to Disney Plus.

Google should shun the Carriers and just build or turn on their own RCS services and make a bold announcement about it. Then bypass the Carriers and bake in encryption and just make a true competitor and Android version of iMessages. It is time Google. OK, Google are you listening! Do it and show the Carriers if you want to you can beat them at their own game.

Google now is the time to go full speed ahead and take RCS into your own hands and out of the carriers. You want to be Apple-like when it comes to phones well that includes RCS messaging. Bypass the Carriers and do it yourself like Apple does. This way it is own your own Phones by default and probably get other phone makers (except Samsung) to make Andriod Messages the default.

Google the Pixel 4 disappoints. Please listen for the survival of the Pixel line. No, I don’t have the Pixel 4 nor do I want one. Why? No fingerprint reader. Face unlock/ID might be just as secure, but it is not 100 percent reliable. No FM chip. I know that streaming is your bread and butter but it would bring in more people to the Pixel ecosystem and it does have National Security/Emergency implications.

The highlight of this week was watching the Microsoft Surface Event. I liked and wanting everything they announced. My wallet says no and that is the final word. My head says get get get! I plan on waiting to see the reviews and hope that next year will be a better year financially so that I can maybe get one of the new devices. I am really looking forward to the Surface Neo.

Please, Netflix you don’t have to add sex to every episode of TV Series. The storyline is strong enough without it and I personally don’t want to see it. Respect the storyline and people’s modesty.

Everywhere I go lately service is terrible. I went to CVS today to pick up my prescription which was only 7 pills for 15 dollars. I get home and look in the bottle and I have only 6 pills. So I called CVS they will have the other one ready for me. I am not making an extra trip until Monday after work. Everywhere I go nowadays something is always messed up because places are short staff or just pressured to perform.

Saw the Apple keynote yesterday. Was not impressed with anything except the new Apple Watch Series 5. I did like the new colors for the phone especially that midnight green. However, the new phones are not that inspiring. I like my Google Pixel 3. Let’s see what Google comes up with as I have come to love Google Products. My tech rankings Microsoft Google Apple’s iPad and iPod (but that is it).

Went to my Primary Care doctor. Have a lot of medical issues trying to work through them one at a time. But doesn’t help when a staff member sends you home with somebody else’s paperwork. Now, who has mine if anyone. Been a long week glad it is almost over. I need about a month off.

Do you remember where you were when 9/11 attacks occurred? I do. I was in traffic court in Plant City, Florida.I had just left when my mother called me to tell me about the first plane and then while I was on the phone with her she watched the second plane fly into the Tower. That whole day was a long day for me and I remember almost everything about that day.

Back to work tomorrow. It was a relaxing weekend, except for the leg cramps I had every night that I was sleeping. I played video games but not as much as I hoped. I was tired and decided to just relax. I did finally get to start Season 7 of The Walton’s. This month and next month will be a big challenge in many ways. Hope everyone else had a great Labor Day 2019.
