I thought that the most popular item on my Christmas gift list would be the electric scooter, but nobody took one. Over half my tenants picked Bose headphones, which surprised me, although perhaps it shouldn’t have. Headphone technology has changed a lot. The sound quality has improved greatly. Also, most older headphones connect to an iPhone with a wire, but new iPhones don’t have headphone jacks. It is possible to connect wired headphones to a new iPhone with an adaptor, but wired headphones are clearly heading for the electronic scrap heap along with floppy disks and VHS video tapes.

RING DOORBELL.
I thought about putting Ring doorbells on my Christmas gift list, but I didn’t think that any of my tenants would want one. Let me know if I was wrong about that. Here is a great Ring doorbell story. A woman got a text message while she was at work saying that the motion detector in her doorbell indicated that someone was at her front door and moving back and forth between the door and the window next to it, but not ringing the bell or leaving the property. So naturally she called the police. The police came and looked around the house but found nothing wrong. Later, when the woman returned home, she reviewed the video the doorbell made and found the suspect. See the photo below.
