I watched Google Stadia announcement today. I think this is a great idea but it suffers from one major drawback. Internet connections. A lot of people do not have high-speed internet and it is getting worse. If you do have high-speed internet, some people have data caps (which is ridiculous for a broadband connection or really any connection). The third and final issue is reliability. No matter what your ISP/Broadband connection is going to go down from something at some time.

For the first two items, I think Google, Apple, Amazon, Disney, CBS, Netflix, and Microsoft should make a separate entity sort of Hulu like for wired fiber. Wired fiber is the best option in the long run low maintenance cost and will last decades. Or they could split up grants like the various City, County, State, and Federal Government agencies do to expand broadband from electric coops and telephone coops. All I know unless broadband expands to all corners of this Country these services are not going to work.

I know that in Paris, Tennessee and Inverness, FL where I have property since they are rural there is no Broadband available. Satellite is not a viable option for gaming. Which brings us to the third item I like having everything local and back up to the cloud. The gaming and movie watching I can live within the cloud but it has to be RELIABLE 99% and there needs to be a way to have a local copy just in case the 1% happens.

Just my two cents.

Don’t know what all the fuss is about. I got back about 150 dollars less than less year, but have made more than that with the small increase in bi-weekly pay check. Taxes are taxes. I probably should make sure I zero out each year, but I use it as an emergency fund.

I have also been sick. Sickest I have been since 2017. I am finally on the mend. On another note this is my 10th year at Moffitt. 10 years. Second longest job. First job still longest for career.

Hello All,

I am trying to blog more, but I just don’t have it in me lately. I have been so tired. I think it is my medication for my heart. There is nothing I can do though. I want to learn WordPress to update and move my website to that. I am also trying to get a loyalty discount from my webhost. I mainly use it for the email anyways.

Well, tonight is the is the Superbowl and frankly I just don’t care. I am not a football fan. Take care all. Hope everyone is doing great.

Bye 2018 you were not that great. I lost my best friend Bella (my cat). Hopefully, 2019 will be better all around. This is will be my 50th year on this Earth and my 10th year at Moffitt. Hoping and Praying everyone else 2019 is 2 steps forward and no steps back. Cheers!

One of the few last post for 2018. This year has been a mixed bag of good and bad. I am hoping that 2019 will be better. On the financial front it is still a mixed bag too. Once my car is paid off I will be in a much better position. Cautiously looking forward to 2019 and what it will bring.

Merry Christmas!

Bella, my cat was hit by a car this morning sometime around 5AM to 6AM. She died instantly. I will miss her so much and already miss her. I remember the day she just showed up to our house. She picked me to love like she did. I loved her so much. She had 2 litters of kittens while she was here. I got Katie out of the second litter and she was my favorite like her mother and they both did not want to stay in the house and yard. Both were taken by cars from me. I think I am done having animals.

Trooper my very first dog I had to give away because of my first job.
Henry my second dog died of old age after having glaucoma and food allergies, but it was old age that got him.
Taco my third dog died of seizures that started all of the sudden one day. I got him from my sister who someone rescued from abuse. He loved me and me him just like Henry.
Then Katie by a car out on a busy street, now Bella. I don’t think I can take much more heart break.
I will miss you Bella you loved me for 5 years and gave me a lot of memories. I hope you know that I loved you so much.

Well, this is going to be a rant. First Ford is dropping sedans, which the Fusion, the one car I love and have bought new in the last couple of years will stop being made in 2019. Admittedly I would have had to buy a new car anyways since my last car died. I didn’t have to go with Ford, I went with Ford because they are a long time USA company and the Fusion is awesome. I see plenty on the road how can they say they don’t sell enough.

Now, Amazon raising prices on Amazon Prime from $99 to $119. I already let one price increase go and didn’t say anything. At $119 not worth it will not be renewing. Companies are going to be shooting themselves in the foot. I just might have to get rid of my Alexa’s and go with Google Home!

End of Rant!!!!

I am loving this new Lost In Space. Good job Netflix.

Nothing new going on. Did binge watch “The Gifted” TV first season and loved it. Glad that it got renewed. Watching the new Star Trek Series Discovery. So far so good.
