i wish i knew about neti pots years ago
The older I get, the more I learn about stuff.
It didn't take long after 2025 began before I got my first cold of the year, and I have a standard list of things I do to make dealing with that easier. This is stuff I wish I knew when I was younger, but better late than never.
When I first started using PCs as a kid, there were only two portable storage formats. Tape (as in microcassette) and floppies (as in floppy diskettes). That was it. Tape was way too slow, so I used floppies, and I always hated them.
Today, 2024-Dec-31, is the last day of 2024. This year in particular involved emotional things that I've accepted.
There was a very brief period of time when I tried using navigation on the phone. Twice. The first time I tried it, I could barely read the screen due to sun glare. The second time, the phone overheated from Florida sun in less than 10 minutes and shut down. I went back to using a Garmin and stayed there.
And that brings me to one of Garmin's current offerings, the DriveSmart 76.
Over 20 years ago, I said to myself that one day I'm going to watch It's a Wonderful Life. I finally did.
Yeah, that movie. The one everybody has seen at least 10 or 20 times if not more. The one where many make it a tradition to watch every year. It was not until December 2024 at the time I write this that I finally saw it. Yeah, I'm not kidding. I never saw the movie as a kid nor as a young adult. It took until middle age before I finally watched this.
