Alexa is a little dumb, but is getting smarter

Kadizzle has an affection for gadgets.  Over the summer Kadizzle purchased the Amazon Echo, and an Eco dot.  If you don't know what these are, maybe an explanation is due.  Both are little gizmos that can understand your commands and play music, radio, or give answers.  Now the Kadizzles are regularly yelling at Alexa.  You don't really have to yell, but Mrs Kadizzle is so used to yelling at Mr Kadizzle that she figures it is best to yell at Alexa.  The morning routine now is to awake and yell Alexa play KCND radio Fargo.  Alexa in her polite stewardess voice obeys.  Alexa doesn't say " Do it yourself".

Now the Alexa programmers have figured out how to get Alexa to control the Sonos system.  This is super duper. The Sonos speakers which were great in and of themselves are really nice working with Alexa.  You can yell at Alexa and tell her to play relaxing music on Sonos in the kitchen or in the bedroom.  Of course Alexa will do math, call people for you,  give you reminders and so on.  There is a way Kadizzle could get Alexa to turn on the coffee, but that has not been set up yet.

Now the home base is semi automated it is hard to leave for the winter.  The Earth module does not have voice command. Wait yes it does.  Mike get the coffee, Mike turn on the radio, Mike open the door, Mike pick up your clothes.  So once you leave in the Earth Module Alexa becomes Mike.
