@nprofile1q... I hadn't heard of Hotchkis, but I looked it up and no, not very close. But of course someone in Hotchkis might visit Pagosa. In fact, it looks like it might be about the same distance for her as it is for us -- no, just checked and google says it's 2.5 hours for us (that sounds shorter than I remember), 4.5 for her. Probably because getting there from Hotchkis involves twistier mountain roads.

@nprofile1q... That makes sense, but I'm talking about their external website, like when I browse there from home to see if they have a book. It doesn't even require a login: you can search without logging in, but your search results will disappear and go back to the start page if you're idle for five minutes, because you certainly wouldn't want your housemates to find out what books you were searching for.

@nprofile1q... My local public library is set to log people out after more like 5 minutes. Because, you know, you want the very highest security level possible with a public library website.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Thanks, I'm trying auxio, looks easier to use than GoneMad.

@nprofile1q... Thanks! It's definitely one of our prettiest local hikes. It's called Hidden Valley, and it's good for high summer because it's high altitude and requires a lot of wading.

@nprofile1q... Some Oracle person published an op-ed in one of our local papers (we're in northern NM, nowhere near Doña Ana) claiming that the water is recirculated, and total use is comparable to 6 households.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE FULL STORY and of course I don't trust the source, but if they really do recirculate, maybe water use isn't that big a problem.

Power use, of course, is still a problem so I'm tentatively still opposed. Not that folks up here have a say.

@nprofile1q... I didn't use anything underneath, just on top.

And the dissolving paper I got (cheap stuff) is great at dissolving, but not great at printing. It has an adhesive and backing paper, but the adhesive is very weak and it came apart from the backing while going through my laser printer, causing a paper jam. (It actually did print the pattern, but onto a crumpled mess.) I want to get some dissolving paper that's better for printing. Do they make it in single layer without adhesive?

@nprofile1q... It's Android. I use GoneMad Music Player, which isn't perfect but it's one of the few I found that lets you play in random/shuffle mode by directory, not just shuffle all audio files on the system. I last searched for a player app maybe 8 years ago, so there may be better apps now.

(Shuffle options are also poor on many dedicated MP3 players. I guess most people don't use shuffle, or at least hardware and software designers think people don't?)

@nprofile1q... Search ebay, or amazon or any general site like that, for "MP3 player". There are lots of options, many of them tiny and under $10. I don't have any specific model recommendations since I'm using my phone for that now (which unfortunately now requires a USB C-headphone adapter).
