EAR BUD BLUES

            I listen to a lot of music. I discovered earbuds a few years ago. Well, I really didn't discover them. I won them in a draw at the casino. I started using them and liked them. I listen to music on you tube and play a few games. I don't have a phone so I don't use them outside.

          They were a bit temperamental or maybe it was my lack of experience with them. I found that they would stop working and needed to be paired and "hooked" up again.

         I'd gotten to the point where I had them working for a long period of time. Then last week they stopped working , first one and then the other. Since I don't really understand their system I just try things and it usually works. 

       This time I tried a few things and I couldn't get them back. I asked my son for advice but it's difficult for him when he's not here to give advice. So I tried things. I think I tried the right thing at the wrong time and the wrong thing at the right time. I managed to get my earbud completely confused.

      So one afternoon I said , there must be a logical solution here. I went through the instructions again and again. The left earbud was on but the right one was not on. I knew they had to be paired again. but I couldn't get them to Pair. Somehow I had them side by side in my hand and the led came on. Hey!  They were pairing. 

     All I had to do was go to you tube and connect them. 

    So I'm in business again and listening to music.

    At this time I listen to Austrian folk music and South African folk music. Austrian folk music has lots of vocal and brass. The South African has no vocals and the main instrument is the concertina.

    So What will I find next? What do you listen to?

SNOW

     Into every life a little snow must fall. 

   Well, I guess this would be impossible for the tropics and many other parts of the world.

   Well, I'm just trying to tell you that we had  a little snow last  night. It's common to get snow at this time of year. Most of it has already  melted.

      For all Canadians, have a great Thanksgiving.

   

MONEY

       Put not your trust in money, but put your money in trust.

                                                 Oliver Wendell Holmes

        Common advice here.

FALL COLOR

       I spent a few minutes after supper checking out some fall color in lower light. These are all non native species. I see where the tops of the trees are cut off in some photos.

GETTING RESULTS

              You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.

                                               Mahatma Gandhi

            Gandhi was controversial in his time.

BEING USEFUL

    It is not what we intend, but what we do that makes us useful.

                                                  Henry Ward Beecher

      Great sense in his one. We can sit around and think about things but that doesn't get anything done. 

GREAT FALL DAY

        Today was a great fall day. It was bright so the fall colors showed nicely. I finally got out to take some photos. I was able to show some harvesting that was complete. Then I was able to look out across the Red Deer valley. You can see some of the city in a couple of shots.

     I had actually gone out for lunch with some elderly colleagues. I'm the oldest. So while I was waiting for them, I took the photos.
