US Tournament

Barb was going to a pickleball tournament in New York State.  She typing Courtland, New York into the GPS and nothing came up.  So she looked it up on Google maps and found out that it was Cortland, New York.  So then she typed Cortland, New York into the GPS and found that the estimated time to drive there was one hour longer than what Google Maps had told her.  Then she realized that she had Avoid Tolls on the GPS.  When she turned off Avoid Tolls, she got the same route as Google Maps.

If You Could Read My Mind

I was talking to Stan during our video chat tonight about pdf editors.  I was talking about it.  Then after we had talked for a little while, I typed into Google "Open Source" and the search engine added "pdf editor".  How did it know?

Letter

Sarah sent me a letter attachment as an email today.  I read it.  I didn't understand it but it looked very legal and such.  So I thought she was in some kind of legal trouble.  It turned out to be sort of a joke.  She sent this letter of agreement to her supervisor which tried to get him to commit to take her with him if he ever leaves the company.

Up Early

Barb has learned to stay up late with me and sleep in in the mornings now.  She gets her 7 hours of sleep every night and then she is good for the next day.  I usually sleep for 10 hours each night.  Anyway it is no trouble for her to get up early in the morning if she needs to.  She has been on European time for the past two weeks (5 hours ahead) because she is getting up early to watch the French Open tennis tournament live on television.

Fallacy

I was reading this book on Clear Thinking which described all these fallacies.  Near the end of the hockey pool, Barb kept asking me how Dave Mason could get all the best players on all the best teams.  And I tried to convince her that she was thinking about it all wrong.  Dave Mason was in first place because his teams had gotten this far and he had good players on the teams.  If I was in first place, I would have all the best players on all the best teams.  She is getting cause and effect all mixed up.

Birds' Nests

A whole flock of birds are building nests in the fur tree in front of our house.  They are constantly flying in and out of the tree and sitting on the roof of the house above the garage.  They just love to poop on my car.  Today there were 5 poops on my windshield.

Android

Barb always said we don't need two cellphones since we can always take the shared cellphone with us individually because we almost never go out at the same time.  But this weekend she found that it was difficult for her friends to reach her using her cellphone if I have the cellphone.  So when I got home from Cobourg I found out that Barb had gone out and bought another SIM card and was investigating cellphone plans.  She was disappointed that the pay-as-you-go plan that we have on our current phone is no longer offered.  So she looked into the options and decided to buy a plan from Rogers.  That was just the beginning of our problems.
