October started at the Renaissance Faire in Gilroy, CA, after the conference at Google. Then we flew back to Florida and traveled by RV to Bradenton for the Living the RV Dream rally where we presented lots of seminars. We ended the month in the RV parked at a friend's property and attending a monstrous Halloween
party! ... See lots more photos on our October Photo Album.
By the way, our pictures, Blogs, Web Albums, maps, and videos are all examples of what we teach. You can learn how to plan, preserve, and share your travels (or your life.) It makes the experience that much more enjoyable to get
creative and share pictures, maps, stories, and movies with friends and family. Check out our Learning Library of Tutorial Videos, just go to GeeksOnTour.com and click the menu for Tutorial Videos. There are plenty of free videos in addition to our members only content to whet your appetite for learning. |

Google Photos is Not a "Backup" |
After your photos are uploaded to Google Photos you are encouraged to work with them there. You can edit, delete, create, and share your photos using the Google Photos copy. These are not extra copies - they are the working copy of your photos. If you delete these, they're gone, unless you have an extra copy
somewhere. |

How I Cleaned up my Phone Contacts |
As of last week, I had nearly 1,000 people in the My Contacts list, and 2,294 in Other. Many of these entries had no phone number. Many of them were only Google profile listings. Lots of names I didn’t recognize, and even worse, some of them I recognized as people who died years ago. |
