late last night i got the message that explore was not getting any signal fromt eh donkey camera... so i will go t check that first thing.... or maybe joyce will would be even better....
*********
.i watched a CNN bit last night on pitching new ideas-- and the topic was uber..
how a pitcher must be enthusiastic and preferably on their feet while pitching.... the concept was interesting and the pitch worked- uber has it.---- so i tried to enter the new world of tech.. at 2am...
. from the pitch i was told.....
you go to your computer to sign up
get a "thingie" on your cell phone
poke one button and
a nice person in a car with no dents will arrive at your door.
and you don't have to pay them money.
seeing as it was 2am, i was hesitant to push any buttons after i gave my name and address..
there seemed to be a "beater car" with other people was the cheap offering
on up to a black uniformed driver etc....
from registering a person and all the card information--to gps your location- mapping the route- estimating pick up time from cars in the area, calculating the cost, it was an interesting intertwining of technologies...
one concept interested me - among other things was they suggested you could rent a car and drive all day , and you would still make money.
i have always been interested in what could i do to make money if i landed in a situation of being in a strange town with no visable means of support.- like standing in a long line-- and then selling my spot to someone who has more money than time was always a possibility.. like the insurance runners who just carry papers to the registry- that might involve a car...
there was a guy at the entrance to the tunnels in boston who carried 2 tanks on his back- regular or decaf- and had milk,sugar,cups sweetner- on his person....and you held your cup out the window with a dollar. he had a huge business.
from those kind of concepts i always meant to make a million dollars by figuring out a monopoly board" life" game of rolling the dice and those cards in the middle with good and bad real life problems things
you broke your glasses
you won a car
got arrested for loitering
found a mcdonalds gift certificate
slept thru court appearence
found a steam vent
new house in the suburbs
or go to jail do not pass go
things like that...
it could be done--just another one of those wierd ideas i will never get around to doing.
BACK to me and uber....
all i did was sign up- not sure what for, but i now live in fear that that phone of mine now has a new option along with butt dialing- it can call uber.
********
then for nightime news entertainment was mr trump- he must have a huge staff of creative people to think up controversial things to say to get free news coverage---
i did hear something.... did i hear correctly that he went to new york military acadamy? ( not to be confused with west point) that was right down the road (9w) from where i lived in cornwall ny... i knew a guy who went there back in the 1950's . it was one of those "maybe the military atmosphere will control him" situations...
i also wonder why anyone would want to be president when so many get shot at... i forget... was it 10 out of 44?
*****
steve ( meatcutter steve) was here over night so is here first thing... i have no idea what is in store for the day....
******
wellllllll.... we will get to see what the new pup has in his stool today because megan gave him all wormer last night
and won't that be exciting????
