Even I, a person long known to be on the leading edge of fashion…
…(OK, settle down now)…am amazed the magazine, GQ, has a watch columnist.
"GQ’s new watch columnist…is here to give you a glimpse into the world of watches."
Me, I'm not planning to retire my Timex any time soon.Meanwhile, speaking of fashion

According to the U.S. Department of Defense, 2,200 Marine Corps and Navy personnel are assigned to Parris Island.

So much for fill-'er-up and go
Carmakers compete to keep you entertained
"You can play music straight from your Spotify account and when we have been charging the car on our journeys we have been watching Netflix and YouTube through the apps which come with the vehicle," he says.
Seems you have time to watch a movie while you're charging your whiz-bang electric car on the road. Assuming, of course, you're someplace that hasn't had a thundershower recently, like we did two days ago—it left 100,000 people with no electric power at all.

Beware misinformation in October.

"Of all the bags that come through this store…
…I like this one best"…not exactly Bogart, but seeing the brilliantly perceptive young woman at the checkout counter this morning was talking about my bag, the canvas newspaper-style bag I use to carry groceries home, it was good enough for me.

I'm getting so paranoid I'm fact-checking Siri

I'm willing to bet the median age on Twitter is a lot lower.
