The World Changes

-

 My wife and I were talking the other day about all the changes we have seen in our lifetime.  The greatest change has to be the Internet that can be accessed on our smart phones.  I said in my post yesterday to just Google the rest of the information.  But it seems that Google isn't what it once was.  There are reasons for it and the computer geeks of today are in search of the next big thing with some thinking the Internet as we know it needs to evolve.  But the evolution of the Internet now belongs to Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter.

How many articles have you Googled that refer you to a social Internet site asking you to sign in to read the rest?  I don't have any of these accounts and now when I Google something I get a lot of YouTube videos on the subject.  I could find those videos in my searches in YouTube.  The fact is that Google is losing ground to social media.  But even social media is aging, but Google is no longer king of search engines.  I am certain that as Xeeox has lost ground to copying, we will still be saying to "Google" it.

When we talk about changes, Tesla does not include AM radio dials in its cars.  They say the electronics interfere with AM reception.  Many car companies are doing away with the AM radio band.  Some are wondering if AM radio is still relevant any longer.  According to the FCC the AM radio band is still relevant to emergency broadcasts.  But the question is whether AM radio is even relevant any longer.  There are still die hard AM radio enthusiasts out there.  AM might be hearing the death nells, but it is far from dead.    

I am smoking my Tim West pipe this morning with my Rum and Maple tobacco.  It is cool this morning with temps in the low 60's.  It will warm up into the high 70's but will be warmer tomorrow and into next week.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

Strange

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
