Time comes when you bring your vehicle in for routine maintenance and you get a call thinking the car is ready to be picked up, but it’s the mechanic saying you need an at the time somewhat unexpected, expensive repair.

That’s life you say, right?

Indeed.

We’re rolling with the Covid thing now.

Well, as best as we can I suppose.

We’re evolving into a remote workforce.

Chromebooks are the best bang for your buck now, too, no matter what you’re doing remotely.

I say this because of how much less of a time suck any updates to the OS or applications are compared to Windows or Mac. That’s no lie, too, as we’re literally talking seconds compared to Windows or Mac which is always an adventure in time.

And we don’t need adventures in time as we’re all trying to make the most of the little free time that we do have.

So yeah, any device that gives me back time on system updates is worth your time and consideration as well.

Did I mention Chromebooks boot up in seconds, too?

Now I did.

Fall is a transition into the bleak, dark coldness of winter.

Winter is not fully felt until it is actually upon not only the calendar, but when the temperatures and conditions are synonymous with it being most directly in our faces.

This is why we should enjoy fall that much more. It’s blessedly cooler than the stinking hot summer which seems to suddenly evaporate overnight each time fall creeps up on us.

Computer interface changes keep us on our toes learning-wise.

Perhaps it’s coincidence, but it always seems like something changes all too soon and after you’ve become comfortable with a certain way of working on the computer.

That’s alright as experiencing interface changes not only keeps us mentally sharp, but it provides delightful surprises in the form of discovery.

In my case just now I found where the word count is on this thing.

Pleasant surprise.

I like I can take a Chromebook on the couch as I work and my dogs snooze below me on the floor.

It’s relaxing. Check that it’s relaxing computing.

You also read that correctly. Computing does not have to be stressful.

If you don’t have the time to learn how your hardware and software mesh and work, I recommend you take a class–online or in person, it doesn’t matter, and learn more about this.

The quest for continuity, while admirable, is not something the practical person strives for.

Life’s unexpected and sometimes even expected events have their way of intervening in our plans.

That too is alright.

I prefer recognition of life’s simple pleasures such as hearing dogs snore. Their snoring doesn’t keep us up but we can probably disturb them when we’re in the throes of passionate throat crawing.

Throat crawing is a phrase of mine and obviously not of the spelling and grammar checkers we use. My definition for it is raging, raspy snoring of the primordial kind.

Kind of like the way I write:

No agenda.

Influence-free with only occasional calls to action.

Sometimes expected. At other times it is unexpected.

Unlike many areas of life, however, it’s always cost-effective.
