My constant dose of Viagra makes everything blue anyway.

after the learning curve from iphone life, its not bad. We are liking them. My ONLY gripe was I wanted wireless charging. But Ive never had that so the fast charge is a good compromise.

I've had wireless charging and don't miss it with the last Pixel or this one. These things charge so fast with the USB-C charger and the battery lasts so long it won't really matter. Plus, I always got heat with the wireless charging before

Replacing a five year old 47 inch Samsung that will move to CNN duty in my office.

So far we have flying Nola to Gatwick in London. Then easy jet to South Italy. Get to capri. See the country. Trainup Italy to France coast. Get back to Italy. Rome then end in Venice. Fly Venice back to Nola. Apparently it's cheaper to fly out of Venice than Rome

Bought the Google VR headset for pixel. Best buy $80. Was 20 off on sale. I want to be impressed with tech again.

Also looking at decent record players. Learning lots.

Welp. Got a Onkyo amp. Seems like the best budget one a-9010. Got it over the newer9050 based on rave reviews over 3 years.

Also got a meh record player to replace our old 80s pleb one.

Now I'm eyeing the fantec wheel and a playset setup. Hrmm

I imagine they are pretty awful... but when faced with getting a snack at a gas station, they seem lesser evil based on the nutrition facts alone.
