Oh, heck. I can remember when portable tape recorders first came out. We bought one and I can remember all of us learning how to use it. My mum trying to record herself singing Christmas carols. Only one problem with that. She couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. When you replayed the tape you could sort of hear my dad in the background laughing. She ignored them. A friend of my mum's had I do believe an old reel to reel recorder. I wasn't allowed to touch it when I was a kid. She showed me how it worked but that was all.

Hah. I remember getting my first "portable" tape recorder. It was kind of a beast. Big red brick with beefy black buttons on the end that had a grey strap on it. I carried that thing around with me at least until the next Christmas. If I wasn't recording my brothers and I doing goofy stuff, I was using it to play the music I'd recorded off the radio. I loved that thing. Long gone along with all those tapes now. Sure wish out of all the stuff I'd gotten rid of over the years that I kept that stuff.

I don't think it was particularly "cheap" by the time I got one, but I'm sure that they'd come way down in price or I wouldn't have gotten it at the age I did. I was probably only 7 or 8 years old.

Course I don't have an e-reader or a kindle. I love books, something you can actually hold and feel in my hands. That's probably why I have so many of them. I want that connection to the writer.

Yeah. My old man made the switch to Kindle and he loves it. I know he's way older than you are. I think with him part of the reason it's good is because of the backlighting. Even with his great health, your eyes are bound to start having problems in your 70's.

I prefer a book myself. I've gotten several old Kindles from other people over the years and I've found other unintended uses for them. I only ever used one for a book, and that was back when I was taking mechatronics courses. Had a few Electronics, Mechanics and Engineering books on there as well as PDF files I made of my own notes that one of the teachers ended up using and making his pre-final-test study guide for the groups going forward. They serve a purpose for me here and there, but there's nothing like holding a paper book in your hands.

Well, I guess I shouldn't have said politics. In my case it is mostly giving certain ladies a history lesson when it comes to First Nations. Say something wrong when I know the history and that really grinds my gears. So, yeah sometimes I have to bit my tongue. Unless I want a phone call telling me I shouldn't say certain things because certain people get their knickers in a twist.

Interesting. I'm curious, since you've never mentioned it before... do you play with other Natives? Exclusively or a mix? I would assume at least a mix, just because I couldn't ever imagine my Grandma going to a group card game or mahjong game and speaking her mind about anything having to do with Native culture except for maybe when that one PBS show came out a few years back that we were talking about. But then again, I don't think I've ever actually known anybody in these parts who is Native, or known anybody who did. Probably met some in my life and didn't know it I'm sure, but most people in these parts don't walk around with signs telling you all about their origin story.

My grandma was funny, especially at the end when she wasn't even intending to be. Some of it got funnier as she started forgetting things bad and repeating the same thing 10 times in a conversation. Every fall, the last 10 years she was alive without fail, she'd recollect how the Chicago Tribune used to talk about how Summer isn't over just yet an we've still got "Injun Summer". Yeah... I know they did Grandma.

She'd say it once and that'd be it until next y
