This is an amazing caravan, looks superb and quite spacious inside, albeit no loo or shower, but then neither has a tent.

This would be superb at a camp site with those type of facilities on hand.

This one is 16 minutes duration and shows how tech is advancing, at 1:23 watch Morgan Freeman, will we be able to separate reality from fiction?

Absolutely fascinating.
I stll think a proper map is great, I further think map apps compliment a real paper map rather than replace it.  I feel one can plan a route much better with a paper map than using a phone app, maybe I am just old fashioned.

A group of us were having lunch today, during conversation our content wandered to  the Thunderbirds puppet series.  We mentioned the four Thunderbird crafts and the various pods.  No phone searches took place.

When I arrivaed home later same day I was browsing Youtube on my TV and  a video on Thunderbirds was suggested on my home screen, this video (link below) covered the four main crafts along with reference to the pods, just as had discussed at lunch.

I've watched videos before relating to Thunderbirds - months, maybe years ago.  Weird coincidence nevertheless.

The following link explains the history behind this annual event as to why the North American Air Defence Command are involved.

Apps available for phone - I always install (despite my age) just before Christmas then remove after.

I always do where an exchange of money takes place, depending on one's browser hovering the mouse pointer over the padlock will give some indication that site is secure.  Of course any https site will show as secure but I will usually select 'more information' and view the actual certificate.  It will list who the certificate was issued to, by whom and valid dates etc..

I did on one occasion quite recently notice that one of my banks had a different Certificate Authority issuer to previously noted, I actually declined the transaction I was intending pending an email to the bank.  All confirmed by them, they had in fact changed CA issuers.

Now I am not that paranoid that I recall all CA details, this was coincidental as it was a relatively new card company I was using but worth checking, fraud is getting very clever on the internet.

Quote:One source mentioned for the unlucky nature of the number "13" is a Norse myth about twelve gods having a dinner party in Valhalla. The trickster god Loki, who was not invited, arrived as the thirteenth guest, and arranged for Höðr to shoot Balder with a mistletoe-tipped arrow. Dossey: "Balder died, and the whole Earth got dark. The whole Earth mourned. It was a bad, unlucky day." This major event in Norse mythology caused the number 13 to be considered unlucky.

There's more to the article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_the_13th , but the above was interesting enough to stop there. We watched the Vikings series by the History Channel and it was such an awesome series that the above quote spoke to me sort of. I recommend you watch it as well. Very informative, very well done, and we both were involved with the characters.]]>
