Welcome / open talk

I really like having a Chromebook. It's lightweight, cheaper than a laptop PC or Mac, fast booting, etc. I keep mine near my chair so when listening to the radio, watching TV or playing a movie, when a question arises, I can Google it right away.

I remember as a kid, waiting for things. But I think even myself, over the last 10 years, I don't feel anything should take more than 2-3 days to get. I did order a car in 10/06 and it took 9 weeks to arrive--boy that was a rough 9 weeks!

Found the news in Washington Post today.

So, I did a lot of genealogy work on my Win 10 PC today and left a bunch of windows open to continue working on after din-din. When I came back after a couple of hours, I noticed that I now had a picture as a screen saver instead of a blank (black) screen.

I'm the type who has to touch the stove and get burned.

Yesterday I made a payment of over $9k to pay off a credit card debt once and for all.

It's bittersweet.

When my son was born I got a 0% for 18 mos credit card--that was over 7 years ago.

The idea was whatever the spend was every month, I was going to put that much into savings. After 18 mos., pay it off.

Hi All

I see lots of speed cameras being installed in my area near schools. Do we know if these cameras monitor vehicles speed in both directions or just just the vehicles passing by the camera?
