Mental workarounds

Olympic trials schedule
Figured out how to watch this in Australia. Ridiculously simple solution.

Solutions are predominantly simple, yet elusive because of their simplicity.

As a last resort yesterday, i wondered if reverting back to ATT would allow me to view American cable networks.

What i was up against was that nothing that worked in USA was working in Australia.

As soon as i muted Telstra (Australia’s main cellular provider), and switched back to ‘normal’ (ATT), Peacock Network instantly became functional.

ATT costs $10 per day for the International Plan. i was trying to avoid it. And as such, never even tried.

For eight more nights in Australia at $10 per day, it’s like getting USA Olympic trials for $80 total. In hindsight, a complete bargain versus not being able to watch.

Trade a skyscraper

Big sky country appeals to me radically better than big city lights.

Trade a skyscraper for a silo.

Campus Kangaroos

Kangaroos on college campus
After lunch with Chapin and a friend in the campus dining hall, Cheryl and i strolled campus, stumbling upon six kangaroos.

Cheryl sat on the sidewalk. i laid down in the grass next to her.

What is normal for me might be special for another. And vice versa.

dad

Kangaroos are no big deal in Australia’s Sunshine Coast. But Raccoons would be.

At home i find Raccoons a potential threat to home and yard.

Australia Day 9, mind

Lifeguard meeting on a beach
Our Pacific Ocean view is 24/7. It is literally a 180-degree vantage.

The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Sage wisdom

Son, we are proud of your confident, adventurous spirit.

The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.

You are living proof.
