I was minding my own business as usual, wasn\u2019t bothering anybody, and I got a little beep and a notification on my Apple Watch.  By the way, people keep asking me, &#8220;So what do you think of it?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Folks, it\u2019s turned out to be exactly what I thought it would be.  I\u2019m using it exactly as I thought I would.  I use it for basically two things:  to notify me that I have received either an e-mail or a message when my iPhone isn\u2019t nearby.  On the golf course, or even sitting here, I can get a notification look on the watch. I can at least find out that somebody sent something to me and I can check the phone later. <\/p>\n<p>As I also knew, given a choice between the watch and the phone, I\u2019ll go for the phone every time.  It\u2019s bigger; it\u2019s faster.  This is version 1 of the watch.  It\u2019s pretty slow.  It\u2019s really cool the things you can do on it.  You can answer the phone. You can make a phone call.  The battery life is fine.  It\u2019s just slow.  It\u2019s a version 1.0 device.  But I haven\u2019t had any problems with it.  I don\u2019t make phone calls or get them, but I\u2019ve tested it, and it works fine. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_105575\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushAppleWatch.jpg\"\/><BR\/>I just got a buzz now.  Let\u2019s see what this is.  Ah.  Kathryn just sent me a little note saying, &#8220;Yeah! Revere!&#8221; So I now know that rather than have to wait until the commercial break to see I got a note from my wife.  The watch just buzzed &#8212; actually the haptic feedback. It didn\u2019t buzz. It tapped my wrist.  I have the speaker muted so as not to be a distraction for you, and it popped up.  Now I can either reply to it here, which I think I\u2019ll do.  Siri on this thing is perfect, so&#8230;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Oh, I hit the dismiss button by mistake.  I\u2019ll reply to her later.  Anyway, it\u2019s exactly what I thought it was gonna be.  I\u2019m using it exactly as I thought I would. The point is, if the phone\u2019s right nearby and the watch is on, I\u2019ll do the phone first every time if it\u2019s there. But it\u2019s perfect on the golf course or at times like this when I can\u2019t do the phone first.  Anyway, this note from Erick Erickson.  He said, &#8220;My kid\u2019s book order through Scholastic is due on Thursday.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_105600\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/APP-Watch-3.jpg\"\/><BR\/>He\u2019s got kids at school, and he has to order the books according to the kid\u2019s curriculum.  So he just went online to the Scholastic Reading Club and a website to place an order for his kid\u2019s books, and he says, &#8220;Look what I see here.  The most recommended book by fourth grade teachers is <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rushrevere.com\/index.php\">Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims <\/a>&#8212; and it\u2019s beating Dr. Martin Luther King no less!&#8221;  He says, &#8220;Well done.  Thanks.  Erick.&#8221;  So I looked at this, and I said, &#8220;Well, hot damn.  That\u2019s absolutely correct.  He\u2019s right.&#8221;<\/line><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rushimg.com\/cimages\/media\/limbaughletter247\/rushreverereleasesbook3\/1315323-1-eng-GB\/RushRevereReleasesBook3.jpg\" width=\"585\" height=\"250\" style=\"margin-bottom: -25px\" border=\"0\" usemap=\"#Map\" \/><\/p>\n<map name=\"Map\" id=\"Map\">\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"6,8,582,212\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rush-Revere-American-Revolution-Time-Travel\/dp\/1476789878\/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;amp;sr=&amp;amp;qid=\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"200,222,294,250\" href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/rush-revere-and-the-american-revolution-rush-limbaugh\/1120481207?ean=9781476789873\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"297,222,366,250\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/rush-revere-american-revolution\/id888162020?mt=11\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"369,224,428,247\" href=\"http:\/\/www.booksamillion.com\/p\/Rush-Revere-American-Revolution\/Rush-Limbaugh\/9781476789873?id=6127802686661\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"508,225,574,247\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1442378182?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=theoffiwebs0d-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=1442378182\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area shape=\"rect\" coords=\"429,223,503,248\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1476789878?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=theofficiw0c2-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=1476789878\" target=\"_blank\" \/><\/map>\n<\/p>\n<p>Scholastic Reading Club, fourth graders, teacher recommendations: The number one most recommended by fourth grade teachers, is Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims.  This is mainstream stuff here.  So that\u2019s hopeful.  That is actually good, especially when I run across the story that only 18% of eighth graders are proficient in US history. (interruption) I just got another message from Kathryn which says, &#8220;Ha, babe!&#8221; Because she heard me talking about the note from the watch. <\/p>\n<p>So now I\u2019m gonna reply to it. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Very cool, isn\u2019t it, sweetie?&#8221; question mark.  Send it and it\u2019s gone.  You know there\u2019s something else about this watch.  Siri on the watch is flawless.  There\u2019s obviously a new Siri system, software rev version, server system, what have you. But it has, in over a week, yet to make a dictation error.  Now, it\u2019s confused words that have similar spelling but the same pronunciation. But it has not goofed up in a substantive way at all.  It\u2019s really stunning in that regard. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: By the way, folks, speaking of the Rush Revere Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans, the children\u2019s history book series, I got an e-mail note from Erick Erickson Saturday night.
