Random Memorial for Monday 10/3/16

Gone but not forgotten:  hundreds and hundreds and HUNDREDS of pictures that were on my phone (I'm not kidding ... I think there were 3000 or so ..)

I have a problem ... I'm an old school person forced to use new school technology ... and so it didn't take me long to fill up my phone with so many photos that my phone fought back and said "no more photos for you".

With my trip to 8 states in 8 days starting tomorrow, I knew that I had to take action ... 'cause I also knew that I'd be taking pictures along the way.  So I finally bit the bullet and deleted the vast majority of them -- after confirming that they downloaded to the laptop appropriately, and after organizing them by month for some day in the future when *some* of them get printed.  I say *some* because of the 3000, I do believe that 2900 of them were of the puppies,.

Digital photos that were blocking my phone from any upgrades, app updates or new photos (it's like I have a NEW phone -- just in time for my trip!) ... you will be missed (even more so if I don't get around to getting you printed before the laptop goes bad).
