I referred to any Kindle that has direct wifi as Fire to differentiate it from the original ereader which required you to download books to a computer and then use a cord to upload to Kindle. I have a Paperwhite
and it did not give sufficient battery life for Korea to NY or Sydney to London.
newbee……….
The paperwhite battery was not sufficient for a flight from Korea two months ago.
As to printed books: I love the texture of vellum or fine paper and the look of inked letters, as well as the heft of the book in my hands. I don’t like the feel of a battery/device getting warm as I hold it for hours.

I won’t make my decision who to vote for in November until after the political party conventions nominate their candidates.
I am a Democrat. I’ll be a delegate to our state convention, haven’t decided if I want to go to the national convention, but could have a seat if I wish (I’ve gone a few times in the past).
That said, If I find the Republican nominee to be more agreeable to my beliefs than the Democratic nominee, I’ll vote that way.
I’ve know Clinton for more than 40 years, but she does not yet have my support in the primary.
BTW>>> should I decide to vote for any Republican candidate for public office (something I have done on occasion) I can not publicly support the person or donate. That is forbidden by the rules of out Democratic Town Committee of which I am a member. CT does not have cross endorsed candidates (like the days when DA Ted Hogan ran as the candidate of all 4 NY parties) so it is not an issue.
I’m with DaasYochid on this one
squeak………..
I don’t give my vote to anyone, they have to earn it.
That said I’ll be a delegate to the state Democratic Party Convention, and will be bound to cast my vote as my district votes in the primary.
I have not yet committed to Clinton or Sanders. I know Clinton more than 40 years and respect her intelligence. I have only met Sanders 3 times in my life and find him honorable. BUT is he electable? I’m not sure.
I’ll not vote for Trump under any circumstances. I’ll not decide my November vote until we know the official candidates after the national party conventions.

I don’t consider audio books equal to traditional hardbound books. You don’t see the punctuation, italics, etc. in an audio book. Instead you get the voice interpretation of the reader, not your own take.
As to Kindles, I have two, the original and a modern Fire Paperwhite. I don’t find the battery life sufficient for long haul intercontinental overnight flights. Besides, I prefer print to ebooks, buts that’s a topic for another thread
Waterbury, CT
They even have a Kollel there, now.
I’m with DaasYochid.
Trump is both crazy and smart. They are not mutually exclusive.
He will never get my vote for any elected office.
I use audio books when flying at night because the lighting on the planes is not sufficient for hours of reading from a hard-copy book.
Also good around the pool when sun glare inhibits reading.

Your singular mind pointed out a one base advance. San Francisco used to be Manhattan. Minnesota used to be Washington(AL). Washington (NL) used to be Montreal.
I, OTOH, pointed out double baggers,those who have abandoned fans twice.
Soon,opening day arrives and I shall be occupying my seat behind first base in the Bronx on Thursdays and Sundays as I have for decades.
The US government doesn’t have standardized sizes required by law(some countries do).
There has been size creep over the years.A pair of size 40 pants today is substantially bigger than 15 years ago.
In the 1960s women knew that for every $10 more they spent on a dress they went down one size.
The reality of clothing production is that time is money. Workers are paid piece work, not a flat hourly wage. A sewing machine operator will sew the wrong size label into a garment rather than wait for a bundle girl to bring the correct ones. One operator leave 1/8″ seam allowance, another 1/4″.
Typically sewing floor inspectors are operators who have become too old and slow to profitably operate machines. Instead they inspect: trim loose threads and look for major defects. They don’t measure garments for size accuracy.
When I left the garment business in 1980, major retailers would spot check one garment per hundred dozen for size within tolerances.

I’m a father and grandfather approaching retirement. My body has changed over the years, but I weight within 15 lbs of when I was 18. My wedding suit still fits…we took an anniversary picture wearing our wedding clothing last year.
Unlike off the rack clothing, custom clothing (not shirts) are made with ample seam allowances so that alterations can me made for some realistic body changes.
An off the rack pair of slacks might have a 1/2″ seam allowance in the seat and a 2″ hem. A custom will have a 2-3″ seam allowance and a 3-4″ hem. After all the customer pays for the material so it doesn’t cut into manufacturer’s profit. Having grown up in the garment business I know all about squeezing every possible garment out of a roll of fabric.

Marriage and divorce laws vary by state, they are not set by federal statutes.
As I’ve stated before I practice family law along with wills, trusts, estates.
A number of years ago, here in CT the decision was made that any civil marriage dissolved by the courts during the first year is deemed to have been annulled. No divorce decree is granted by the court.
