A record number of people are waiting to do it.
Apple, Samsung et al are coming up with new models faster than the demand for them. I’m happy with the Moto G6 I bought for a couple hundred bucks a year or two ago. I don’t see any features in the newer ones that I can’t live without. Of course, I see my cell phone as an evil necessity, not something integrated into my existence. I often forget to take it with me when I go out of the house, and only use it in the house when I need to text.
The LA Times has the latest on the mess.

Kind of amusing that the contract value for WSP, the biggest consultant, is the number of the beast.
Bezos is hinting that at next month’s satellite conference, he may announce an expedition to the lunar south pole.
There is a bipartisan bill from two Colorado congressmen to establish one.
I heard about this from George Sowers when I stopped by to visit him in Golden a couple weeks ago. Presumably, their goal is to put it in the Front Range, and probably affiliate it with the School of Mines, which currently has the only graduate program in this discipline.
They’re now averaging $4 a gallon. I paid sixty bucks to fill the BMW last weekend to drive back down from the Bay area. Just nuts.
People have far too much faith in the medical profession in general, but I’d have never put up with this kind of thing. I’ll always get a second opinion on any major dental procedure, particularly when the person recommending it is going to perform (and profit) from it. A few months ago, I broke a molar that had been weakened from a filling. But it was just the side, and the basic tooth remained intact. I got the dentist to grind it for a crown, and we avoided killing the tooth (for now, at least). I’m sure a lot of others would have recommended a root canal (though those are generally done by specialists).
Thoughts on the modern version of it. What’s horrible is that children like Greta Thunberg are being terrified by leftist propaganda.
I’m going to be on Hotel Mars this evening at 1830 EDT (1530 PDT).

Sorry, I forgot that he records the shows. That’s just when I did it. I’ll let people know when it will air (if they care, or even if they don’t).
Yup. The only one who has a chance of beating Trump is Biden, and he probably can’t get the nomination.

With twenty-one entrants, here’s the state of the 2020 Democrat primary.
I have one valued commenter whose comments are almost always being held up for moderation, even though I always approve them. I can’t see any reason for it in my blacklist. Does anyone have any ideas what the issue could be?
