This test is huge on social media. Now you can take a quick test to know which Presidential candidate you match best with. You may be surprised.
Move over Donald !!!
Over 7,000 pictures in my camera roll.
Sorry folks!!!
I’m going to tell you about a new product that could possibly change how we get around in our senior years. It is very possible that we won’t need walkers and wheel chairs. All we would have to do is learn to balance ourselves on a portable WalkCar transporter.
This may seem improbable right now but just watch the video to learn all about It. WalkCar. fits in a backpack or large handbag. It is made of aluminum and weighs approximately five pounds. The WalkCar can only handle 265 pounds. It can travel 6.2 miles per hour and can go 7.4 miles after three hours of charging.
The WalkCar was developed by 26 year-old Kuniako Saito and his team at Cocoa Motors in Japan. You will be able to order a unit in the Fall on Kickstarter. Price tag? $800.
As more and more Americans read books on electronic devices, print publishers may not be paying close attention to certain details. Eliot was reading “Die Again,” by Tess Gerritsen, on his Kindle during our European trip. When we got home yesterday, Eliot decided to switch to the hardcover edition he had in his library.
Surprise, surprise. When he got to page 216, he noticed that the next page jumped to page 249. I posted a picture of the missing “signature.” That’s the term publishers use for a printed section of a book that is then combined with other signatures to make a bound book. Eliot, a book collector, is always amazed when he catches a typo. Today, he was astonished that Ballantine Books didn’t catch this major gap.
What do you think?
Arby’s Tribute to Jon Stewart
It was payback time for Arby’s during Jon Stewart’s final TV show. The sandwich chain tried to have a little fun at Stewart’s expense. All though the years, Stewart made fun of Arby’s. Tonight Arby’s took its best shot. Arby’s showed a 60-second montage of Stewart’s best jokes about the brand. Good attempt trying to even things out.
I Didn’t Ignore You, Gary Arlen
You asked me many times to change my profile picture because you were tired of the same old camel shot. Pick one. 
I can’t keep my eyes open. We arrived in Miami late this afternoon. I want to go to sleep so I will just post something easy. I love these signs.
The expression “Once in a blue moon” means that something is very rare. In astronomy, it means the third full Moon in a season with four full Moon or the second full Moon in a calendar month.
We experienced a blue moon on Friday, July 31, 2015. I was in France but friends back home sent me photos of the moon that night. They were so dreamy, I wanted to share them with you.

The next three were taken by Marilyn Scher on the roof of my New York coop.
Sharing signs are fun too.
We just got back to Monte Carlo tonight. Whitney and Fredrick are going back to Seattle tomorrow but plan to be in New York in 10 days, so I’m not that sad. Whitney navigated our entire road trip to Cinque Terre and back by using Google Maps. She took us through mountains and cliff roads a few thousand feet up.
If I survived the ride through those narrow, winding, unprotected and uneven roads, I am ready for other adventures. Fredrick did a marvelous job at the wheel even though I am a real altacocker. I was a complete nervous wreck.
Because of Google Maps, Whitney read the description of each town, information about the topography, points of interests, and named the personalities who frequent the area. She read off specific driving directions, available detours, activities, and the length of time needed to drive from town-to-town. It was quite an education.
Eliot was busy taking pictures as we got to see Monterosso, Levanto, Ceva, Mondovi, Cuneo, Limone Piemonte, Tende, and Fontan.
We drove three hours to Cinque Terre today. Whitney always wanted to visit this area so we ventured out. Cinque Terre is a string of centuries-old seaside villages on the Italian Riviera coastline. There are five towns that all have colorful houses and ancient vineyards on steep terraces. We took a speed boat or the local train to get from town to town. The Mediterranean was bluer than blue today. Just magical. Speaking of magical, we stumbled on an open air concert tonight of classical music in one of the towns. We were serenaded as we dined at the restaurant under the stars next door.
I can’t even pretend to write a tech post today. My head is spinning from today’s adventure. We did something most folks wouldn’t dare to do.
We went to two, two-star Michelin restaurants. Very decadent. Tonight we experienced Mirazur, the 11th highest rated restaurant in the world. It’s in Menton, France. (Next door to the Italian Riviera). I had a vegetarian tasting menu which I think was the best choice. Absolutely spectacular!!. My vegetarian friends are going to salivate. I’m not going to become a complete vegetarian (I do love a good steak) but I think I feel better eliminating heavier foods.
Here we go…..
We had lunch at Chateau De La Chèvre D’or in upper Eze. The food was outstanding. The pictures speak for themselves.
By the way, all photos were taken with my iPhone 6 plus. I think they look pretty good. FYI, I took a Pepcid two hours before bedtime. Slept like a baby. I also tried on my tight red slacks to see how much damage I did to myself with all the food I consumed. They still zip up. I got lucky.
One of the first things I want to do when I get back to the States, is learn more about the new program Amazon just launched for start-ups. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read that Amazon is going to help start-ups launch, market and distribute their products to the hundreds of millions of Amazon customers across the globe.
Never in my life did I ever imagine that a new company could have such an advantage. Amazon is appropriately calling their new program Launchpad. Startups now avoid many of the challenges a new company usually experiences. They can now rely on Amazon’s retail experience and infrastructure to help them be successful.
What an amazing world we live in. Read more about it in Retailing Today.
And then, we want to share our day in Nice with you.
Welcome to Nice
Getting an early start on the weekend.
Looks like the Flatiron building in Manhattan.
Strolling the streets.
Waiting for a wedding to start .
The Mediterrean.waters are so blue.
No sand, just large rocks.

Nice has a style of its own.

Jimmy Kimmel
Over five million people watched Jimmy Kimmel’s reaction to Cecil, a male African lion, being shot to death by an American big-game hunter, Walter James Palmer. I didn’t want you to miss it.
