356 Porsche

 In 1977 I was in my VW squareback with a coupler of guys. a half a dozen other guys were in a couple of other cars. One of the cars was a white 356 Porsche. It was the middle of winter and we were headed north over rabbit ears pass. Snow was piled up and snow plows had plowed straight walls of frozen snow on both sides of the road. But it was night time and the snow didn't look like solid ice. We got to horsing around, gunning our cars and spinning on the icy road. The 356 has a rear engine and when the driver started spinning out of control he cranked the steering wheel around the wrong direction and the car spun into the ice wall. I can still see the front fender buckling and the headlight smashing. Fortunately there wasn't any serious damage done to the car and no one was hurt. We were going to steamboat springs for skiing, and that gave us a reminder that bad things can happen. The rest of the ski trip went fine.

pixel 2 xl , 3xl, 4xl

 I currently own a pixel 2 XL. At this point it is a 5-year-old design. It still gets pretty good reviews on the internals even for being so old. Apparently some of the progress has kind of slowed down. Processor improvements and even camera improvements are minimal. It took excellent pictures 5 years ago and it still takes excellent pictures today. Having said that the pixel 3 and pixel 4 are starting to come down in price quite a bit. So let's talk about that. The pixel 3 has some improvements but nothing major. The big thing that everybody points out between the pixel 3 and the pixel 2 is the screen. The pixel 2 screen is somewhat faded looking compared to the typical phone. It's still very sharp the colors are still in color and it works just fine, but really it doesn't look like something that used to cost $950. Still that's what they sold it for. So that alone really doesn't make it worth upgrading to pixel 3. The pixel 3 screen is slightly bigger but the pro...

spirits

  It's becoming evident that the planet is saturated in spirits and, dare I say it, demons. They really are everywhere. If you get an uneasy feeling, you most likely are under attack. They are real, it's not some psychological anomaly or left over distant frustration from your childhood.

God

  Throughout my life God has been working to bring things about and make things available when needed. A while back my wife and I divorced after 33 years of marriage. Shortly after that she died. Throughout the entire process there were many many things that occurred that just came together. For instance an apartment just happened to be available the same week that it was needed. Then other apartments became available as they were needed. Without looking much. Also my company fired me shortly after her death. But they also insisted that they would pay unemployment benefits. This just happened to coincide with covid-19. So my unemployment benefits were more than normal because of covid. Also medical benefits were made available, which was unexpected. Then my car died and another car was made available at a rock bottom price. It was a great car and did well for over 70,000 miles. There were many other small things that came into play. It's really incredible to see how God does things...
