Just a short video filler test from Twitter after receiving a message that MyDesultoryBlog was inaccessible (suspect it is because previous post was personal and only for registered readers?)

Easter is a time for celebration, a time to reflect on the sacrifice that Jesus made for us, and a time to rejoice in His victory over death. It is the day that we Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ; His resurrection is the foundation of our faith.
The crucifixion of Jesus was a sign of the evil and sinfulness of the world. But it was also a sign of God’s love. Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. He took our punishment upon Himself, so that we could be forgiven and have eternal life.
On Easter Sunday we celebrate that Jesus rose from the dead and that He is the Son of God has the power to overcome death.
If you are not a Christian, I encourage you to learn more about Jesus and His resurrection. It is the most important event in history, and it has the power to change your life forever.
===> Happy Easter! <===

I’m not really sure where the data for this map came from or if it is accurate (??) … but it is something to think about.

Last year one of my earlier Wyze Cams failed to update and wasn’t connecting to our mesh wifi (continued to disconnect). Thankfully Wyze politely discounted a newer version to which I happily upgraded. The old one has been sitting on my workbench and before tossing it in the trash, decided to peek under the hood. I was impressed at just how much is jammed into this little cube and sold for a fairly low price. Well done Wyze.

There is probably a new survey or report out every month or so comparing the cost of living in different areas of the country. I usually gloss over them for one reason or another. Some exclude income taxes, state and local taxes or hefty property taxes. Others ignore lower 
salaries and some just don’t factor in the unattractiveness of living in a particular area.
For most of us though, we prioritize living in a city or state based on our job and providing for our families … although often are required to compromise when it comes to career opportunities in a two income family. Once a person or a couple are empty-nesters or entering retirement, there are a few other criteria that factor in: interests, weather, activities, health care … as well as being close to grown children and growing grandchildren. Still it is interesting to know where money goes a bit further.
In any case, here is a current look at where $100,000 goes furthest. A SmartAsset article reprinted in the Cincinnati Business Courier caught my eye and had me thinking, perhaps we should move to Tampa, FL (23), Columbus, OH (13) or Fort Wayne, IN (14) instead of staying in Cincinnati (25)? (but at least we are not on the east or west coasts!)

Have you ever wondered why we use paste and powder (old school) to brush out teeth? Probably not … since I never gave it much thought until seeing Bite Toothpaste Bits. Brilliant idea … although the price point is keeping me from giving them a try.
It is great to see ingenutiy still works and going strong in the United States as putting toothpaste in a tablet is pretty creative.
