Spring is a time for change, so I've decided to master some of the things I've been thinking about. I finally downloaded (and after a whole day of fussing) finally got both my phone and my laptop to sync to a VPN software to use in public areas. My phone plan is very low data because I'm usually in WiFi areas, but some of those WiFi areas have the hazard of fake networks that are there just to harvest the data from naive users. Turning on the VPN keeps anyone surveying the phones and devices in the area from seeing what I'm working on.

And last winter I bought a new radio. It had a car attached. I've finally figured out how to get my mp3 player to easily play through the aux plug. Now I can listen to books on my way to and from work. I like National Public Radio but I tend to leave it on around the house and at work so I hear some of the news stories a couple of times a day. Now at least in the car I'll be catching up on my reading and I've just synced three long novels into my mp3 player. (I could also put them in my phone and use the same plug.)

Back out to the yard to mow. And ponder again why the healthiest Bermuda grass is that which grows in the garden, not that which grows in the lawn.

Linn, I don't try any more to use facebook on other computers since I've set up the two-stage authentication process. Facebook asks me to give a code that comes through my phone to show that it is really me logging on to the new computer. This is good for security, but makes for setup anywhere but home or work more trouble than it is worth.
