@RandallGrahm Don't sign up for TikTok then. The dog videos are so cute. And then there are the tiger videos. And the monkey videos. And the cat videos. And the next thing you know.... You're searching for parrot videos, and they are real good too. And then there are the tarantula videos
@joyannreid We're here. You're here. And so many others!
@RubenAugusto Want me to talk to Macanita for you? :) #wine
@RubenAugusto When Xito Olazabal gave me an experimental batch, the acidity was so high it made my mouth pucker. And THAT'S from Douro. I tasted many typical Vinhos Verdes. Thin, tart, boring. There are some I like more (Eulalia), but I also learned, as you say, on a warm day, chilling it a bit, sitting on the dock, goes down well w/food. Then life is good.
I still can't make it into a typical wine, though, at least not as it shows in VV. Some of what Vallado is doing is impressive. #wine
@aquatic_euphemism You know, old habits, like the Bird Site, are hard to break. But new things become familiar and normal. I like the backlighting. I like choosing my font. Digital bookmarks. Looking up words with a click. Automatically downloading the next in the series. Having something that is virtually weightless in my hand. And it takes up no room in my living room. :) I use the bookshelves for souvenirs and wine glasses. Ebooks. I was an early adopter. Never going back.
@danb @willbunch Alas, it is not everyone's wish. See, social darwinism.
@RellaPdx @Stonekettle Now, we need him TikTok. I long to see a duet with him and Tom Powell. ;)
@aquatic_euphemism I've gone exclusively eBooks but for art books. I can walk onto a plane with my library and it weighs no more than a phone. :)
@RubenAugusto Yes, Vinhao, a bit different as a go-to. ;) I like what they are doing with it in Douro too.
