I’m a cat person, who turned into a dog person, and who is now a dog person trapped inside a cat person’s body. I know that was kinda hard to follow, so let me try to explain… When I was a kid, I was 100% a cat person. This is probably because we never had a dog the whole time I was growing up.

inside to eat and hang out. At night, he went right back outside; we
didn’t have a litter box for him in the house.

Many new cars come with GPS navigation systems. But what if you don’t have one? Adding it might not be practical-perhaps you drive more than one vehicle, travel and rent often, or just don’t want an expensive piece of electronics permanently and visibly stuck to your dash.

Now for something that is not gadget related at all… I used to be into fingerstyle guitar, but haven’t played in several years. My poor Collings acoustic guitar has sat idle and neglected in its case for a long time now. This past weekend, I got it out and tried to play. Unfortunately, it felt
