Siri alert for you old guys (Like Me)…..who
· May not know
· I got up to 240 pounds at one point about 14 years ago
· Suffice to say, I started walking in the mornings and dieting……….
· I’m 74 new and weigh about 138 these days…..a size 52 waste to a loose-fitting size 34
· During the summer, I walk early to beat the heat……….
· I’m often out between 4:40 and 5:00 a.m.……I went 5.2 miles this morning as an example
· I did not take my cell phone with me….which drove my wife and daughter crazy…..
· The dang thing was just to bulky…and who was going to call me at that of day anyway…….
· I live in the High Foothills of the Blue Ridge (Lenoir, NC) for goodness sake…….
· Further, there is nobody out there that early……and the occasional street person is in such bad shape……
· Suffice to say, they either don’t know I’m there or even an old guy like me could defend themselves against these pitiful folks
· What was the answer to all this?
· An Apple wristwatch……
· It times my miles, alerts people if I fall, has all the temperature/humidity/heartrate functions/etc.
· It also has Siri
· Siri can tell me out loud what the score of the games were the night before/stock market info/etc.
· I talk with Siri a good bit these days…
· Right before I go to bed, I talk to Siri though my cell phone….
· Temperature stuff/etc.
· I knew today was the first with college football…
· Just for the heck of it, I asked Siri what ball games were being played today
· Dang if she didn’t come up, tell me the games/times/networks……
· I know it is easier to look up and read most times……..but Siri will also tell you out loud
· So, if you are a clueless old guy like me…….Siri can tell you/Just FYI
