Item #0: the Weather<\/span>\"\"
\nOur high temperature on Thursday was 100\u00b0F. Tomorrow, Saturday, the high is expected to be 76\u00b0F. That’s good news.<\/p>\n

Item #1: New phones<\/span>
\nMy new phone has now replaced the old one.
\nIt works in the car and takes pictures.
\nBeing of Android\/Google linage, it prods me to do things to enhance their bottom line. It also has a mess of an introduction every time it is turned on. I’m at the beginning of the learning curve.
\nHowever, our provider is Consumer Cellular and they buy tower space from ATT. We do not have a connection in the house and barely outside. Booster kits are available, but cost more than the phone.<\/p>\n

Item #2: Good things to eat<\/span>\"\"
\nMy chance of getting to Australia is slim to none. However, you might.
\nIf you do, look for the confections of a company called Darrel Lea. At one time the company sold only out of its own 60 stores. That business plan started to fail and now they are in 3,000 outlets. Ice cream will be available, such as Rocklea Road, peppermint nougat and peanut brittle. So, a nice story from OZ.
\nDarrel Lea<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Item #3: Man rescued<\/span>\"\"
\nA man in Germany called police. Why?
\nYou have seen this story \u2013 right?
\nSaved from a tiny squirrel<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The link has photos of the actually chaser, but not the chasee. I could not find a nicely presented story. The one linked to is okay, but could be better. I wanted to see a picture of the chase.<\/p>\n

Item #4: Stargazers \u2013 heads up <\/span>\"\"
\nThere is to be a multitude of meteors this weekend.
\nOne story is here: Kat Kelly says<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Really, that’s her name. Here is a video: H.R. Macmillan Space Centre Astronomer Kat Kelly <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Kat K. urges folks to go to a dark place, take a blanket, and your favorite beverage, and several people to talk to. There are lots of breaks in the action.
\n{Actually, she did not quite say that, but close.}<\/p>\n

If you are not going to watch, there are nice photos here, with some tips on how to take such photos.
\nTips from NASA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

.
\nItem #5: Be more active <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nJust about everyone needs to turn the TV off, turn you cell phone off, and close the refrigerator door.
\nIf you want to get some exercise, folks in Western Canada can introduce you to Axe throwing.<\/p>\n

Ales Soloducha<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

You can travel to “Lumberjax Axe Throwing” in downtown Regina and Winnipeg. Or you can find a place closer to your home.
\nTry Philadelphia, PA.<\/p>\n

And that, for this week, is the not so nasty news.
