1 BILLION HRS PER DAY

This may be straying a little bit from PCa But as BillyBob and I were discussing lack of exercise and obesity how does every body like this statistic. 1 billion +hrs per day of you tube watching! all of this since 2005 when you tube was started. What if 1 billion hrs was spent on cancers like Pca etc? Thankfully my grandson likes to munch on fruit when he's watching you tube but how many people are not eating healthy. Wonder how many calories are consumed during these billion hrs? Scary when I think of being in one room school house in elementary and hearing stories about the number 1 million like it was something you didn't believe. now we talk about billions and trillions and probably more than that!

I went on a hike this morning - there was the one hill we had to climb that felt like it took a billion hours to walk up ...

Like many other things in our shiny new world of the future, YouTube has its place.

I use it to learn about new things - like how to install a double split mini - split air conditioner. (I am 1/2 the way through doing that).

Also new (to me) artists like Jon Jomm's "Passion Flower" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny7gnaq6znw and Kaki King's "Playing with pink noise" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uqv_5rvtnc.

I didn't know much about Pink Noise and its application to hollow body guitar music until I ran into those 2 artists. Now I am trying to convince my guitar to do some of that, despite I lack the mad skills of those 2 incredible young musicians.

As for exercise....the docs are still adamant that I continue my (insane) workout schedule and distance running, which they credit with my continued resistance to the PCa progression.

Yes there are some great music videos one that comes to mind is Leonard Cohen and his song Hallelujah

Googling (no quotes):

My wife just reminded me how I watched the whole robotic surgery on you tube it was great My wife thot I was nuts!! We talk about the prostate all the time but after you watch the video and see just how small the prostate gland is and and the difficulty the surgeon's have just getting to it and then not cutting into the margins it really makes you appreciate the skill of the DRS.

I went to you tube to research new subarus and 11 hours later I was watching videos on how to talk to giraffes.

Stones caved in and substituted “spend some time together.” Doors refused to substitute “we couldn’t get much better” for “much higher.” Pretty tame stuff these days, but was a big deal back then.

The Doors were not invited back to the Ed Sullivan show. lol
