"Today is a new day
that has been handed
to you for shaping.
You have the tools, now
get out there and
create a masterpiece.”

Raccoon In The House!!
I am NOT an "early adopter."
I do not buy the "latest thing."
I do not wear logos,
or designer names.
I still have my first smart phone:
A humble Moto E. *
But as of yesterday, it is
resting in a drawer.
You might know that I like to
take photos. And carrying a camera
EVERYWHERE was getting old.
I needed an excellent camera
for daily unexpected shots too.
So I bought the best camera in a
smartphone: The Pixel 3, released
October 9, 2018.
The photo at top
is my first shot,
taken Oct. 21 2018.
If you haven't seen the
TV comercials, the camera
shoots a series of pics, before
and after the shot you click.
Then the phone shows you
the BEST one according
to artificial intelligence.
I am free to select any of the
shots and to edit them at will.
They are immediately added to
my Google Photos for
sharing right then,
or on my blog later.
Because we are in the
San Francisco Bay Area,
a tech person brought me
the phone I bought from
Google online the SAME DAY
and set it up for me!
She shot the raccoon on the
coffee table, I cropped it
and edited it.
You can see the FOC, unedited,
un-cropped shot below.
The Pixel has Google Assistant.
I can unlock the phone with
my fingerprint.
Then squeeze it twice
and Assistant is ready.
"Dial Mom on the phone."
"Is traffic to the store bad?"
"What is the weather today?"
"Tell me a joke."
Google Lens is cool too!
Turn the camera on something,
and Lens can tell you what
you are seeing with helpful links!
I have no buyer's remorse.
And now I have the coolest
phone in the cafe!
It charges
Super Fast too.
So if you need a new phone
-or a new convenient,
excellent camera-
consider the Pixel 3.
The Pixel 3 XL is larger!
You want to be sure
to buy an UNLOCKED
Pixel from Google Store.
Talk to your carrier.
You can use the SIM
card from your current phone!
I really like Consumer Cellular
for US coverage. Great,
HUMAN customer service!
My case - ordered on Amazon -
is arriving today.
Incidentally, my Pixel 3 is the
"Not Pink" color.
A beautiful object in my hand!
