Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Being Woke
Being woke in my humble opinion is being aware of the life and sufferings of others. It’s also having concern for the well-being of others. Sure, it’s easy to just ignore all the stuff going on in the world but I believe that having some sympathy and empathy for the plight of our fellow human beings is a good thing. Wokeness is a byproduct of people being tired of injustice, oppression, and being discriminated against.
I have always thought that “political correctness” is more akin to demanding people be treated better and recognizing their differences should not disqualify their participation in society. It’s also just exercising politeness and courtesy and that is a basic human need.
I hope that we can return to being civil and making our world communities better places. We so desperately need some goodness in this place we call our global home.
Don’t Forget To “Fall Back” This Sunday! #DaylightSavingTime
Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend. Don’t forget to set your clocks back on Saturday before turning in. You will get an “extra” hour of sleep which I know we can all use.
Have a great weekend good people.
New Phone, Who Dis? #TeamPixel 5a With 5G
We have been Team Pixel for years. I have owned the Google Pixel 1, 2, 3a and now the 5a with 5G. I think these are terrific phones that won’t break your bank. Even the Pixel 6 is priced well for both versions.
Android is a great phone OS with a lot of features including a rock-solid camera and the ability to use all of the Google products such as Drive and Photos at your fingertips. I am impressed with the 5a so far and look forward to capturing and sharing my world and sharing it with you with this new phone.
If you haven’t heard of Google Fi which is their mobile phone service, check it out, The pricing and features are really good.
World Series Game Six – Atlanta Braves vs. Houston Astros #WorldSeries #BattleATL
The Atlanta Braves are up 3 games to 2 in the World Series and they will have to win it in Houston tonight (or tomorrow night if needed for a best of seven). My entire family is Braves fans and I will be monitoring the game on social media because I don’t want to jinx them. Hopefully, they can win it all.
