So I've gotten notices that they're discontinuing their message app and to download Google messages.  Ok, but when I tried to go to the app store Google wants me to sign in. I've tried several times but wasn't successful.  I called Verizon to make sure the message app ending was legit and they confirmed it. Funny thing is I could get into the app store on my tablet but not on my phone.
I'm paying Verizon about $110 for two devices and unlimited data. Consumer cellular gave me the same for $60 so I signed up with them. They use at&t towers so it should be ok.  I still have to solve the messaging app problem but now I'm saving $50 a month.
Does anyone have a trusted app downloading place beside Google play store? I'm using Android devices. I know it's a small group of regular members here but I also know I can trust you guys if you have recommendations.

Wine Review #23: Don Benigno - Amontillado Sherry!



Bottom line: Hazelnut on the nose. Sweetness followed by hazelnut followed by tartness. A caramel apple flavor shows up later. 4 Thumbs up!

The Sixth Floor Museum in the old Texas Schoolbook Depository is gathering stories from individuals worldwide who have any connection to the events of November 22, 23, 24, 1963 in Dallas. I traveled to Dallas yesterday to add my two cents' worth to their Oral History Collection. For those who can't go to Dallas, they also can do Zoom or telephone interviews. Here's the site where these interviews are posted, alphabetically by last name. Scroll through the list and see if you know anyone there.



Here's an example of an interview with Willie Allen, one of the UPI photographers I worked with at the time.
