Well that's like a 10% increase in the 36-55 group. Who were last to the table, but still want to be recognized. Pfft! you youngun's best learn to be on time if you want your pudding! 🍮 🤣

So half of the folks here are basically of retirement age.

And a third well on their mid-life journey.

So much for social media being mostly for the Kidz.

That's nuts - 🥜 I thought there were more youngsters lurking around the halls here.

Here's your Participation Peanut. 🥜
And my "Thanks for Playing!"

In this randomly developed poll, I was curious as to the age spread of our CoSoverse. Three broad 18-year categories. No gen-labels. (I don't know what they are anyway). Your cooperation is appreciated and you will be rewarded with a peanut. 🥜

Looks like both emergency power and regular grid power assist are in the works for Puerto Rico, which badly needs it, and quite a few other places.

Good morning all. 2nd cuppa done, last drips of the press are next, then on to mini-chores.

From a friend's FB post noticing their aging and growth:

Good morning all! 🌞
Woke to 2 dog's constant barking.
Slowly caffeinated.
Sigh.
Some days are for hibernation.
This is one. Recovery from 24 hrs of travel.
🥱
Go kick some butt today!
Or not. Do what you feel.
🫶✌️

Alrighty then! 1am arrival, napped on the floor in a corner of the airport, made my 8am flight, stopped for a few groceries and beers and I have now arrived back at my Casa Amarilla in PR after dropping off something I picked up for a friend and exchanging some groceries we each had too much of. For now, lemonade in hand, with chips and guac which will be breakfast and lunch.

On the train. I never trust I got on the right one, even when plainly marked, and I feel trains often aren't. Or at least I don't look in the right place.
😅
It's like; Track 4, 13:46 hrs. --- sure but is it really this train, or the one coming in 3 minutes.

I'm on the bus to the train to the airport. Hurricane 🌀 Brett will pass near/over Puerto Rico late week. I'm headed down to prepare/clean up/help neighbors as needed. Made all reservations last evening. Bus/train to DEN, $15. Frontier GoWild pass gets me to San Juan at 1am for $32. Nap in airport until 8am puddle jump on Cape Air across island for $40. Friend picks me up in my truck I left at her house 5 min from the Mayaguez airport. Chalk up a winif all works as planned! 🤹‍♂️ Woot!

Never trust my good morning greetings as authentic again;

I'm not sure I'm ready for this AI world.

How often do you put in the laundry in the washer or the dryer then walk away and forget to push the button?

Mary Trump: Contempt.

"What we are collectively facing is a test to see whether this country can set itself right. This is a test we have failed repeatedly throughout the centuries. One aspect of this case that makes the situation more fraught, is the knowledge that Donald’s indictments and criminality intensify his followers’ devotion to him. The same if true for the entire Republican Party, with very few exceptions."

I dropped my phone in the toilet. Fully loaded. Quickly removed, rinsed - also quickly. Removed from case, towel-dried, seemed to keep working but screen jumpy. Couldn't turn off for a while, finally got it off. Now sitting in white rice in a warm oven. Send good vibes.

I guess the picture didn't attach - I had a failure to lunch.
