Ron says … What!

I'm down on Cape Cod for Easter weekend. I was looking out a window when I saw a fox trotting across a neighbor's yard. It was surprisingly petite in size but that tail was big and bushy and ended in white fur. Very exciting sighting!

I'm still on Cape Cod and today on my way to somewhere I saw a turkey crossing the road (there must be a joke there somehow). On my return trip from somewhere I saw another two turkeys crossing the road (two jokes?). Also, a minute before my morning alarm went off a woodpecker began pecking at the metal siding on the house just outside the bedroom window ... rat-a-tat-tat the sound drummed loudly against the metal, as if to announce that it was in fine form for spring breeding and his pecker was up to the task, of making a home in a tree somewhere, of course, or something like that.

The question is, if you had taken that same path two more times (going and returning again), would you have seen three and four turkeys crossing the road, respectively, or four and eight turkeys.

Aha! I see where you're going with this. Well, I'll have you know that when I was somewhere yesterday I saw a rafter of turkeys -- some dozen or so. Two of the males were on splendid display what with their tail feathers being fanned out and their wing feathers spread and tipped right to the ground. All strutting and such among the lady folks!

A first! I ordered a 4K Blu-ray from Amazon and after removing the outer plastic wrapping I got a surprise: The box was empty (so to speak). Yep, the 4K disc and the regular Blu-ray disc along with the accompanying paperwork for the digital copy were missing. The inside was as pristine as the day the plastic was made, but sans material.

I initiated a return. Reason: Broken or missing parts (with explanation). Definitely missing parts .

It's both baked and unbaked until somebody opens the oven.

I bought a Blu Ray containing various remixed versions of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. I listened to the stereo version (24 bit - 192 kHz which is greater than a CD's 16 bit - 44.1 kHz) and it's fantastic.

When I was putting it on the shelf for the first time I then realized: I have the original CD; A SACD; and, now, a Blu Ray version.

Some of you must be thinking, 'Ron really likes this work of music?!'
