She got her penguin badge. She’s wearing a fitbit. Each day she gets words of encouragement from this thing on her wrist when she meets her goal; walking 10,000 steps a day. There are “attagirls” for milestones achieved. The penguin badge corresponds to the distance Emperor Penguins walk to their inland nests in Antarctica; 70 miles! I don’t know how long it takes a penguin, but it only took Judy 14 days. It all adds up.
What is the future of television?
In the early days, we received our television signal with rabbit ears on top of the TV. Later we got more sophisticated and put an antenna on the roof of the house. Many years later, along came cable, then satellite. Now we have a smart television that is able to get programming off the internet; a hybrid; a combination of satellite and internet. What’s next? How will we be getting our television signal in five years or ten? Will it still be cable or satellite? Will it all be streaming internet? Will that overload the available bandwidth? There is so much content to deliver now; it doesn’t all come from the networks. Who will be able to pull it all together so it’s available without us having to subscribe to all the individual providers? Will there be something entirely new and different that delivers our content? Somebody probably knows right now, but I certainly don’t.

On the horizon.
A bump on the rocks.
The Burrowing Owls are back!
For the winter.

Number 399! Halloween at our house
A table out front with buckets of little beers, some Mike’s Hard Lemonade, or a pack of M&Ms. No kids, but plenty of friends and neighbors in good spirits wandering the park for a visit at each stop. Some in costume. The Halloween tradition. A very social afternoon.
