July Already

WOW 2023 is half over already!
Sadly, I am feeling less optimistic about our country this July 4th.
The division and hate thanks to trump and his cult really is ruining the American experiment.
Thankfully, my neighborhood is nicely diverse and listening to all of the outdoor BBQs yesterday was a pleasure.   Glad the air quality improved enough for these outdoor events.  Hearing laughter, children and music made me feel a bit more hopeful.  It was quite surreal to see the Hasidim Jews walking to their Rebbe's home for the Sabbath sundown.

Anywho, I have changed my media choices for workouts this month and like the change.
ROKU works much better (less buffering) with Web Video Caster files and web streams using a Smart phone.  I have collected several deactivated Tracfones since I get a new one each year with a bundle and have an SD card in each of them with files I wanted to back up.  I will not be buying anymore Flash Drives for backups since sd cards on smart phones work so well.  Temu sells sd cards pretty cheap and the Kodak brand seems to work well.
Speaking of Temu, I love making a fresh cup of coffee with this gadget:



So my quality of life has been improved in spite of the Deplorables.
I do have a gay son in this dog fight but I cannot imagine how painful it is for all of the targeted minorities who are losing their right to pursue happiness.  I have enjoyed the new Threads app because it gives a louder voice to the silent majority.

Healthwise, I have found resistant carbs a great way to become more regular and help me lose a few pounds.  Best part is I can have my beloved bread and pasta!
I freeze bread then toast it and make alot of pasta to chill in fridge for at least 24 hours. 
My family actually prefers reheated pasta.
