The best Virginia can offer is a discount to 65 & Over for a saltwater fishing license and a discounted Combo Fishing and Hunting License when you hit 80 (but you still pay full price for game-specific tags.) We won't talk about real estate and personal property taxes. I just wrote the checks today.

What do you use Alexa for, @Von Jones ? My daughter gave us one of the little ones several years ago, but we didn’t use it doe anything, so it just just been sitting around unplugged all this time. Don’t know if it even works anymore, but it doesn’t really matter since we didn’t use it anyway. Totally curious what other people do with Alexa ?
We have (had?) a Goggle Home. For us, we'd ask it questions, like we would our iPhone, and it would answer us. It can run different things in a home, but everything has to be associated with the Goggle Home. There is now a miniature version of it. The original Google Home is only sold on E-Bay now.
We have never used Alexa, our cell phone is only used on trips to grocery now that we don't travel. My son ask it questions when he is here, which is seldom since he lives in Texas.
Right now I'm using it to remind me to "Do a little thing." Tasks around the house that I keep putting off for 'later.' I programmed Alexa's reminder feature for every hour from 6am to 10pm. So far it's been working but sometimes I'm in the middle of one task and I'm reminded. So my tasks are not 'little' any more. I would change the reminder to longer than one hour but I'm afraid that I will slack up on my tasks. I also just started listening to music when I'm cleaning. Sometimes I'll play a trivia game or check the weather for the day or week. I like the timer feature too when baking. You can also watch movies though I haven't because it's set up in the kitchen.
