Dear Friends,

I heard about sliding trucks and cars as ice coated the roads in Vermont. Just sunshine down here in Key West, though. I have been working on putting in a drip irrigation system for my plants in my yard and decided to check out the Rachio controller. It is a pretty slick device that you control with your iPhone or iPad that uses local weather reports to make sure you aren’t watering in the rain. I haven’t quite gotten it to work yet but I will report on that newest addition to my smart home.

We are continuing to support local hunger organizations both in Vermont and in the Keys so every time you buy from Small Dog Electronics we are making a contribution to the Vermont Food Bank or the SOS Mission here in Key West. I hope we have to write a big check on December 31 when this promotion is over.

Grace and I went up to Miami on Monday for our annual Miami Heat/Boston Celtics game which the C’s won handily. We stocked up on some food at Whole Foods on the way back to Key West. I love watching Grace use Apple Pay with her Apple Watch. For some reason she thinks she has to contort her arm as she waves it in front of the terminal. I love Apple Pay with the Watch, cashiers and other customers are still amazed at the magic.
