We drove from Bellingham, WA to Seaside, OR Friday night. Normally this trip takes about 5 hours, but due to snow and downed trees it took 10 hours. I have never seen this many trees on the road. I would estimate 50+ trees, some were total blocking and had to be dragged off the road and one was so large that we had to wait...

I have started writing some content on Medium. I don't expect to make a lot of money there, but it does look like a decent platform (I've been a reader for over a year!) to get my views on my articles/blogs. I guess time will tell. If anyone is interested, my articles can be viewed at https://canutethegreat.medium.com/

So the work conference I had in NYC at the end of March has been canceled due to coronavirus. I called the airline (United) and they are refusing to refund the tickets and there is a $200 per ticket fee to change to a different time/destination. That's almost what the tickets cost each to begin with! So it looks like I'm out like $1200 now...

Has anyone tried following one of those relationship building books or guides? The one that comes to mind is The Love Dare. I've only seen snippets of that book, but as I understand, it is a 40 day challenge. In each day of the challenge you try to focus on a particular area and keep things simple: one day at a time. I find that...

I haven't played Star Trek Online (PC) for 2 or 3 years. Does anyone currently play?

Has anyone tried one of these game streaming services such as snoope or parsec? It sounds interesting and might be a way to do away with dual-booting Linux and Windows on my gaming machine.
