Come to think of it, I&#8217;m pretty hard on all of my portable electronics. I just retired my 5th blackberry&#8230; This one was still working when I took it out of service..\u00a0 the other 4 were not so lucky&#8230;\u00a0 And. I&#8217;m now on my 4th .. no 5th&#8230; portable camera..

I love this show as oyu always come away thinking a little differently after you&#8217;ve listened. The main premise I liked in today&#8217;s podcast was that we rarely use research and facts to form a personal decision.. instead, we often use our research to help reinforce the opinion that we want to support. In fact, the more educated a person is , the more likey he or she is to have an extreme view on a subject.. The more we dig, the more black and white things become to us..<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>or red and green.. as we now see the Richmond Bridge that welcomes us home painted.. They had to stop mid paintjob for the winter.. leaving us with a seasonally appropriate mixed paint job.. hohoho !<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/dec1811\/dec1811131.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/dec1811\/redgreen.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The rest of the day was a pleasant drift..
