    I just can't get enthusiastic for any of it, and I feel as it's The Olympics I ought to. Seen bits of skiing, shooting, and then there's the curling . Not even the jumping or ice hockey. None of it. Am I getting old, or is it because they're wrapped up in five layers and it seems impersonal? It's been more like watching darts, or snooker.

    Snow for the next four days. Pity, all of the snow from the last couple of storms has melted.

    @wtg Yeah, mine too. It should be covered by snow by tomorrow, but once everything thaws out, I need to get after them early.

    @Rontuner said in What happens to a car when…: All of the fobs (so far) that I've used have a hidden mechanical key that slides out. I've had to use mine a couple of times. Remind me to tell the story of how I lost my new Audi's key in the sand on a remote Hawaii Island beach. Or don't. Lol.

    The V&A was one of my favourite places in London! I would be interested to visit the storehouse!!

    Sarah's reputation has taken a severe nosedive too. Who even knew that was possible?

    Casio, Arabic numerals, white dial, AND the least expensive and classic digital. I always have these two watches. The digital's alarm goes off at 11:56 p.m. for no particular reason. I just let it. Hacking this watch is complicated and can take me up to 2 hrs with my poor vision. It's worth owning. It's definitely worth wearing. I just don't care enough to go through what's needed to set it. It's also on military time. I think the time is close to accurate.

    Bernard, What attracted you to French architecture and culture in the beginning? I think of you (right or wrong) as very English. Curious about your interest.

    Doing well. I have one more PT appt that I missed due to an emergency trip to Philly. I have full range of motion and then some. Pretty sure I am right back to where it was before surgery but it might actually bend more than a couple of degrees over baseline. Hyperextension to 3 degrees which is about what a biological knee does. Still swollen and a little sore and stiff at times but overall I am pleased with the outcome so far.

    Hammond would be better than Gary. Closer and nicer. Gary is the only place I refused a gig because of where the IT building was and the lack of security in the parking lot. I would have had to carry at work. No thanks.

    Not a bit suprised. In my opinion, too many Americans are still just blaming one person for this mess we've unleashed on the world. It goes way deeper than that.

    @Daniel as if there is only 1 std out there too! smh My rule of thumb during the "scourge" was to ASSUME that people were HIV positive and contagious and DIDN'T KNOW IT, which took the judgement out of things. Didn't get laid much but oh well.
