Too Nice Of A Day To Be Blogging -- April 23, 2020

Because NoDaks "Get 'Er Done"

 

Amazon

Last evening, about 8:30 p.m. I saw a driver in a brand-new Budget minivan dropping off Amazon packages.

About an hour later, coincidentally, I saw the article at this line: https://www.foxbusiness.com/business-leaders/coronavirus-pushes-jeff-bezos-to-focus-on-amazons-problems-report.

T-Mobile: 5G Gets Boost As Sprint Merger Takes Off

Link here. 

With the addition, T-Mobile users in New York will be the first to be able to access low-band, mid-band, and mmWave 5G. Later this month, current Sprint customers who have a Samsung Galaxy S20 5G smartphone will be able to tap into T-Mobile's 5G network in 5,000 cities and towns across the United States.

This marks the first giant step toward supercharging the Un-carrier's nationwide 5G network by beginning to combine the assets of T-Mobile and Sprint, just weeks after completing their merger. The company's unique combination of low, mid and high-band mmWave spectrum makes T-Mobile the only company with the resources to create a transformative network capable of driving innovation across the country and providing people in cities and rural areas with a 5G network the other guys can't match.

As of now, Sprint customers can roam on the T-Mobile network, providing access to more than double the number of LTE sites than on Sprint's network alone, expanding cellular availability to everywhere T-Mobile's network covers.

Too Nice To Be Blogging

I may take the day off, come back to the blog later this afternoon / evening.

It is incredibly beautiful. Sophia and I biked for about two hours in the park, discovering new trails that we had not seen before.

Some photos:

Is this not a great photo?

On the way home, we stopped for donuts. The Texas governor has declared donuts "essential."

And now, outside enjoying breakfast.

Movie:

Parr Park, Grapevine, TX

 Crawdad Season 

At the grocery store this morning, we picked up a free loaf of French bread -- a promotional item -- which we will "save" for tonight when we have crawdads again.

The seafood restaurant where we get the crawdads, gets a fresh delivery every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and they always sell out by the following day, which means, Monday is the only day they do not have crawdads. We order early enough to make sure they still have some.

Because there is no traffic, a round trip that would normally take forty minutes + with a challenge to find parking is now a twenty-minute trip and we always find parking right in front of the restaurant. It's really quite incredible.
