Pokemon Go thoughts, Part 3

Okay so, again I've tried on my tablet to load the game app. I have to admit even before officially playing, it's addictive just trying to get it to work when I'm in a public place. I was at Starbucks yesterday with my husband Rob, so the photo credit goes to him for this.

I know it's kind of hard to read, but the board at Starbucks says to be careful playing Pokémon Go and to never play alone. It makes a valid point, and here are some news stories to remind you if you're playing, to play safe:
