I am shocked, De.
Amazing. Surprising that you decided to rely on a device guaranteed to be controlled by the demoncrappers . . .

You really should have written your own programs to handle those tasks for you.

Me? I have found that a simple little pad of paper and a purple inked pen do a marvelous job of both reminder service and shopping list.

The Amazon Echo (aka, "Alexa,") used to be quite smart. But, of late, they have intentionally dumbed it down, perhaps in preparation for introducing a 'for pay' alternative. Now, ask it a simple question like, "Who was the Speaker of the House last year" and it comes back with, "Sorry. I don't know that one." Phrase it any way you want. You aren't going to get an answer.

It's sad. The Echo used to be a valuable tool.

Me: "Alexa: Who are the last five Speakers of the House?"

It: "According to Wikipedia.org, there are four living former Speakers of the House: Newt Gingrich, Dennis Hastert, John Boehner and Paul Ryan."

LOL. That's right! I'd forgotten that Nancy Pelosi is one of THE UNDEAD. And what about Kevin McCarthy? Or the fact that my question had no LIVING SPEAKER restriction. As I said, they've really dumbed it down.

I just hope they leave the reminder service and the shopping list. I'm very dependent on them.
