Family news

we went to decorate the graves today, and later went out to lunch at Luz Restaurant.

Not too crowded. I did take photos but it's on my tablet so am not sure I will be able to download them.

Luz Restaurant is now a hot spot.

this is Chano and Lolo in our yard before we left.

 

I had to laugh at a news report saying that you could find hurricane information on line. The news report was implying that if you didn't have electricity you might not have the ability to go on line.

 Yet in the US, often landlines stay on when the electricity goes off.

And here in the Philippines, with brownouts, even if the local internet line is off, Chano just connects via his iphone to put things on Facebook etc.

 And during our bad typhoon last year, our local grocery store had a generator and would recharge your cellphone battery for a nominal fee.

Ruby got a new ASUS transformer: A ten inch tablet with a detachable keyboard for her birthday. This means she doesn't have to borrow her mom's computer, or use the old slow desktop in the office that we use for business or for backing stuff up....

The new computer is neat, and not too expensive.
