    It's only a few seconds/minutes of slow walking & waiting. Anyway, I prefer to go aboard last and spend the least amount of time in such an uncomfortable place.

    I bought the pattern, but I don’t have time to knit it yet. Currently knitting one more Portland Frog Hat. They’ve raised $400,000 by those pattern sales so far, donated to good causes.

    It's very cold here. I'm making white borscht to warm me up.

    The article wasn't about those kinds of technologies. The value of technology isn't an all-or-nothing proposition. Also, a desire to consider the impact of technology, good, bad, or just different, isn't a sign of being a Luddite!

    Yeah that one was unbelievable. But there are videos that appear real of people jumping out of high windows onto massive snowdrifts for a slide down.

    @Axtremus said in I’m glad I’m not young anymore: @Piano-Dad said in I’m glad I’m not young anymore: My teaching career is now in the rear view mirror... Great! You're in prime position to opine on the academia's pedagogical trends and paradigm shifts risk- and responsibility-free! Don't let that go to waste! Don't worry, I won't ...

    So Lindsay Graham has thrown a monkey wrench into the works. Doubt he's doing this on his own. I figure he and The Orange One have a good cop-bad cop thing going on.

    I'm wading through the FL statutes governing condos incl laws that went into effect in January concerning condos with more than 2 floors or more than x units. Slow going. There are a few in my area I like a lot. I've been given the go ahead to buy one if that's what I decide. I just have to do a lot more research. It's really tempting because these places I like are beautiful and mobile home living wouldn't compare. I'll have to stay where I am for an extra month or two after my finances are settled. The logistics will take time. Today's adventure was having the cracked casement window blow apart in the wind leaving glass and shards outside and inside and holes in places where there used to be glass. I cut cardboard panels and used duct tape to cover the window and tape up the outside. Wow. I'm glad that happened. Now it's over and done. It's one less thing to need to do in the future.
