Was thinking that 23 mph winds and gusts to 36 mph would make for bad biking this afternoon (it did) but it was worse for sailboating. Biked by Lake Calhoun and saw a sailboat that was pinned sideways against the downwind shore. Looked like another motored boat was coming to tow them in. That would be embarrassing.

Just curious what everyone's thoughts on this commercial is and if you've seen it on TV yet.

Had not seen it. I'm assuming it runs on facial recognition? Cute kids. Nice positive ad, about how bright the future is. As I finish typing this guess what comes on? A. the commercial.

the commercial was cute, seemed like it should be for something more transformational than an OS upgrade, you know? Like for a completely brand new product - think when the iPad (yeah I know they weren't really the first) came out, electric car - something like that.


I might have gone the route of showing people trying to read little smudged scraps of paper or mumbling trying to remember their password, getting locked out, frustration, etc. Then show the 10 saving the day making your life easier by not having to remember all these passwords. Just show them smiling at their computer and it saying "welcome cowgirl" or something like that - since I saw one of the commercials saying "you will not need an umbrella today".

Worked outside all day today it was beautiful out all day. Got home and finally finished mowing the lawn 1st day mower broke, then two days of rain, Raised the deck one notch and called it good. Best part of the day was the end went and checked sweet corn and it's ready had 2 ears along w/ cheddar brats for supper YUM.

CG in ISU flash that C.F. Fred Foreman passed away. An Sci /Dy Sci professor and renown cattle judge. He is well before your time but thought I would mention it.
