my happy place

Hiked a portion of Ricketts Glen today. From Onondaga to Ozone falls (my son really liked it).

Glad to see the mullet is still going strong

I have an IPhone SE. I got it last summer, I’m happy with it. We haven’t financed a phone since our kids were home.

Im the type that doesn’t care about the best phone and I got an iPhone se a couple weeks ago for pretty cheap and it’s way better than the iPhone 7 that I finally had to replace. I refuse to have a monthly payment on anything other than my house.

This is how most of the world does it. They buy a phone (unlocked) then toss a sim card in for whichever carrier they're using. Here the majority are still financing their phones through a carrier. This is why we have a Samsung / Apple duopoly and this is also why phone makers get away with charging $1200 for a flagship device in 2021. Most people aren't paying $1200 up front. They're paying that while tied to a 2 to 3 year contract with a carrier. Personally I like the freedom to choose the carrier that I want (including MVNOs) and switching phones when I want. I have a buddy who absolutely hates Verizon but can't leave because he's locked into the contract for the next 2 years. He'd have to drop a few grand to pay off his family's devices to get out of it now...or wait the full term. That sucks imo

Nice early morning hike.

That sucks but really cool video of bears!

well the bear box finally suffered its first L ...
