Nobody is Promised Tomorrow. . .
So, let us just enjoy the light and leave politics aside for today.
Investments. I always wanted to own a salt mine. So, I bought some stock in a salt mine the other day. That is pretty low tech.
Tech. Decided to spring for Apple Care for the Airness. $250 for two more years. Health Insurance for the computer.
Well, yesterday it seemed like a good idea to root for Christine O’Donnell. Now it appears that she will win.
Since I live in the US of A, for now… no matter how amusing Sen. O’Donnell would be – now it is time to get with the program and send the teapotheads back to where ever it is that they came from.
These guys (of both sexes) make Tom Colburn seem totally rational.
May you live in interesting times. I fear that I might be too old to see the end of “interesting times”. It will not be boring – the twilight of my time.
All you good folk in Delaware – Get out tomorrow and vote early and often for Christine O’Donnell. I think it is a closed primary. Pity.
Yesterday, I mentioned that I destroy earbuds. Well, I just checked my Amazon “Order History”. Turns out the pair that I have about demolished is 25 months old and the cost per day amounts to 9 cents per day. So, I am not as bad as I thought. New earbuds on order.
The Apple Store has the new iPods and iPhones. The new Nano is the cutest thing. But, I don’t understand it. It has the same memory and same price as the previous Nano – but fewer features. But, it is cute. $149 of cute, I don’t need. Especially since I have 3 working iPods. A Classic from before it was “Classic”, a Classic, and a Gen2 Touch. I’ll pass on iPods this time out. I destroy earbuds… I’ll treat myself to a new pair of earbuds.
The Airness is almost a year old. So, it is time to decide if I am going to get AppleCare for it. $250 dollars for 2 more years of coverage. Nothing has gone wrong in the first year. And I have used it a bunch. Will think about it for a few days.
Well, if it was the last sunrise, it was a damn fine one. But, I seriously hope it is just the last in my week long sunrise series.
It’s Rupert Murdoch as well.
The good folk who bring you Fox “News” have a list of who has been naughty and nice and they will sell it to you.
Have a nice day.
In our neighborhood, everyone has a flag for 9/11.
Or…
Carlton hurt his hip playing tennis this morning. He can not play tennis. He can not ride his bike. He can not walk upstairs. But he can lay in bed. He can sit in a chair. He can drive the car. So, things are not too bad.
The sun was behind the Washington Monument. It looked a bunch better in real life.
In real life – it looked like the “base” of the monument was on fire. Here it sort of looks like a beaver has been gnawing on the monument. Not a real good effect.
At 0644 this morning, the sun was in hiding. But, the crows were out in force.
Twelve minutes later, the sun peeks out.
I managed to not make a mammogram appointment today. Tomorrow is another day. Just Do It!
Not much to report. Started looking for plane tickets to Kona. Gotta get a mammogram appointment. I hate those things. Not the mammogram. But, the queasy feeling – what if they find something. No, I am not one of those people who would say “Thank god, they found ‘it’ early”.
I know three people, all of whom were perfectly fine in early August that are dead today. Feeling a little poorly. Off to the doctor. Off to the PET scan. Off to hospice care. Off to the cemetery. In a month. No one is promised tomorrow.
Don’t we all wonder? How will I take the news? Will I die with a degree of grace and peace and no regrets? What if I don’t get the news? What if I just have a massive cranial bleed? Will there be anything left on my “must do list”?
Here is today’s sunrise shot. The Washington Monument is sort of lost… But, I like it.
Well, today, in honor of approaching autumn… I went thru my clothes. Any summer stuff that didn’t get worn is ready to go to the Goodwill. And I added new jeans and a sweater from JJill, a 50 cent dress from the flea market, and a belt and black cashmere hoodie from the consignment shop. I must say that when I weighed 20 pounds more – I spent less on clothes.
I dropped in at the Apple store on my way to the consignment shop – no new stuff in stock as yet.
We had a little wrapping paper emergency this morning. Carlton was going to regift a present – but had no wrapping paper to reuse. I never thought I’d say “Thank you” Martha Steward. But, on her website – Martha has a perfectly fine down-loadable wrapping paper. Print it out. Add a little double sided tape and you are done. In case of emergency, Check it out.
Been working on sunrise photos. Since the sun is rises at a civilized hour these days.
