I thought it was interesting that we got an email from our water company, telling us everything was fine, but that they have increased their testing for toxic chemicals. Their water supply doesn’t draw water from the waterways from the East Palestine train wreck, but winds carried the toxic cloud, from the chemical burn, toward our area. It is really horrible the response the residents there have received.

That is the way it works out for some of us. I remember thinking - Now that we have paid for our kids college education, that will be the end of the money drain. Then, after paying for two weddings, I thought that would be the end. Then we started that tradition of taking them, and the grandkids, along for winter holidays each year. But I wouldn’t change a thing.

Congratulations on your 35th anniversary this weekend. That looks like a nice trip to celebrate. I think my favorite tour from Naples was visiting Mt. Vesuvius and Pompei. We visited several of those ports on a 14 day sailing from Southampton in 2019. If you are interested in reading about any of the places we visited, I did a live report from that cruise. I see you are like I was, trying to gather as much info before the trip. Here is a link to that review.

Susan is still a Covid virgin. She never got it, and we were on five cruises in 2021 and 2022 during the height of it. I never got it until after our flight to California last summer to pick up our grandson. I was surprised she didn’t get it then, nor did anyone else. It was just like a cold when I had it. We only had one booster, and probably will not get another. Maybe if we had health concerns we would.

Ok, now I am getting concerned about Alexa. Never had this happen before. Last week, we had bought some Valentines cards at a Hallmark store. So when Susan was reviewing some charges online, she saw a charge from Little Green Apple and wondered what it was. It turns out that it was how the charge from the Hallmark store was posted. So fast forward to today. I get an email saying that Little Green Apple would like us to complete a survey. So as I mention this to Susan, she asks what Little Green Apple was, and I told her it was the Hallmark store. As soon as I said Hallmark, Alexa starts talking about where we can find the nearest Hallmark stores. No one said Alexa, or otherwise asked her to join in, but there she was, offering information. With all the changes in AI these days, it appears she is now giving me her opinion without asking for it. Well, no thanks to that, I already have one of those in my house. 😉
