You know, if I wasn't all grown up and mature and stuff I'd probably make those jokes too. JK, I definitely would.

We rented a house in Florida last year that had Alexa. When our 5 year old grandson was there he loved talking to it. He eventually said "I love you, Alexa."
To Alexa's credit it did not say "I love you too," but instead sang a song about loving each other. Kudos to the programmers for that.

Oh no! It's out of stock. They do have a notify button so when they get more they'll let me know. I'll need 3, one for each set of grandkids.

My father spent a lot of time there as a kid. We moved to Canada, but he and I went back and visited, and we each bought a painting of different views of the area. It's hard to make out the artist signature, but it looks like K. Melling. They're both on my wall now, in my "pastoral painting" room.

They're trying en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa..., but it's pretty hard to get in (they include any type of recording)
