Nexus 7 2013, Chromecast, Caviar, and Enjoy!

UPDATE: 9:52 AM = Mr. Nexus 7 2013 has arrived!!!!

Google Nexus 7 2013 - When the original Nexus 7 was announced, I pre-ordered one. I was eager to add this device to my arsenal of Android wireless handheld devices.

Laura and I have ASUS Transformer Prime 10" Android tablets. These tablets are incredible. They feature detatchable keyboards with integrated trackpads and are very capable replacements for laptop computers. They are, necessarily, relatively large and heavy (albeit only by handheld wireless device standards). The 7" Nexus 7 seemed ideal for general daily use. I had been fully satisfied with the build quality of the Prime, and the Nexus 7 was produced by the same manufacturer, ASUS, so I felt confident it would be a quality product.

I quickly fell under the thrall of the Nexus 7! Within a few days, it became the device without which I would not travel. It accompanied me everywhere.

When it was announced that the Nexus 7 2013 would soon be released, I immediately pre-ordered one. It was being manufactured by ASUS once again and featured higher resolution, a front-facing camera (in addition to the rear-facing camera of the original model), increased memory, faster processor, etc., etc.

I was fortunate enough to have my pre-order processed well ahead of the stated release date of July 30th! I tracked the shipment of my Nexus 7 2013 and determined it is on the Big Brown Truck and is due to be delivered this morning!

I fixed my gaze to the live Web cam feed on my desktop—awaiting the arrival of the Big Brown Truck!

My pulse became rapid and irregular, and soon I swooned!

Fortunately, I was tended to by clients and soon fully regained my composure and am now impatiently awaiting the arrival of my new Nexus 7 2013!

Chromecast - I have a Google Chromecast unit pre-ordered as well. It will be warmly welcomed into our family of Android devices!

Caviar - Saturday, Laura and I enjoyed some of the delightful caviar that she gave me earlier in the week. She had never eaten caviar previously. She thoroughly enjoyed it. It had been some time since I had eaten caviar, so this was a great treat for me.

Enjoy! - Relax (I cannot!) and enjoy!

Amelia Earhart Day and Be Entertained

Amelia Earhart Day - Amelia Earhart Day honors a famous aviation pioneer. Amelia Earhart broke many early aviation records. Amelia Earhart Day celebrates the birth of Amelia Earhart on July 24, 1897.

Legend and mystery surround the final flight and disappearance of Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan. They were on a record-setting attempt to fly around the world, when they became lost over the Pacific Ocean. On July 2, 1937, they headed on a difficult leg of the journey towards Howell Island in the Pacific. Weather conditions were less than ideal. While still in radio communication, ships on the ground confirmed that Earhart was having difficulty finding the island. Ultimately, radio communications faded and died. The plane was never heard from again.

The disappearance of Amelia Earhart's plane resulted in the largest search-and-rescue operation to date. It also sparked rumors as to what caused the disappearance. To this day, theories and speculation still exists about the cause of the disappearance. Some theories involve conspiracies and even alien abductions.

Celebrate by learning and reading about Amelia Earhart, and other female aviators. We do not recommend you spend time searching for her or her plane. The U.S. navy searched over 250,000 miles of ocean to no avail.

National Raspberry Cake Day, Rattlesnake Avoidance Training, Surprises, and Be Entertained

National Raspberry Cake Day - National Raspberry Cake Day makes today as sweet as a summer day can be.

Tender raspberries are among the best of fruits that nature has to offer, and, the harvest is going on right now. So, it is only appropriate that we enjoy a piece of raspberry cake in celebration of the harvest.

Rattlesnake Avoidance Training - A Rattlesnake Avoidance Training (8/11)


A Rattlesnake Avoidance Training is being sponsored by our dog club to be held in the Chico area (location is provided on conformation of appointment) on Sunday, August 11, 2013. Download Flyer for details.

This training is done by professionals and has proven very successful in keeping a dog away from a potentially deadly rattlesnake. 15 minutes of training can save thousands in vet bills, pet suffering and possible death.

Surprises - Laura often delights in bringing me treats of various sorts: Often, they are tasty leftovers from her lunches at various Chico restaurants. Often, they are such things as granola bars, bags of nuts, etc.—calling them "snickets."

Yesterday, she stepped well beyond the general fare and brought me surprises that will thoroughly delight the taste sensors on my tongue and greatly delight me! She brought me two large jars of expensive caviar, some specialty wafers (upon which dollops of caviar shall soon rest and await the journey into my mouth), and a can of gourmet snails!

She also surprised and pleased me beyond all measure when she said she had a wonderful snail recipe she intended to make for me!
