I have to have it! Congratulations! 🥳

Poignant and whimsical. At least being "an eccentric" is a personality type over there. Of course, we have eccentrics (e.g. Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, our greatest poets) but it isn't "a thing."

They were making money delivering Amazon packages but a certain President threatened them helping to build the case for Amazon to develop their own network for delivery

I'm going to have to face this set of decisions when I move. For one thing, I'm replacing my 2024 Motorola Edge with a Pixel 10 Pro XL. Life is too short. Then I have to figure out how to get internet and whether I want to have television again. I can't know now what the options will be or how much they will cost so I'm not worrying about it.

Mueller's death, first reported by MS Now on March 21, was also seemingly confirmed by President Donald Trump on Saturday afternoon in a Truth Social post, which reads: "Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP."" https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/03/21/trump-responds-robert-mueller-death/89263401007/

Andy, thanks! Bernard, I owned a 2nd Generation Accent 4-door I bought with 70k. I loved it. It never gave me a problem. Then, TBH, RM totaled it. I didn't have collision. This was about 10 years ago. I haven't had a car since then after having one on the day I turned 16. Not having a car has been terrible both psychologically and in terms 8ngof my health. You feel stuck. You feel like the world is passing you by. I developed a bad knee and then a bad hip after loosing my car. I have nothing good to say about the experience. The only thing I can do is learn from it and move on. Congrats on the new car! I'm glad you like it. 🥳

Robert Mueller.

Thanks, Daniel.

I plead blissful ignorance. I am swimming upstream because contemporary mores in the arts dictate that one must not ignore pop culture.

Carrot salad was very good. Thanks, Bernard!

It used to be a standard bearer. Now it's only a puppet of its owner and his agenda.

Um, that’s not going to help matters.

LOL LOL

BYW, we had the best fish from the cleanest fishing grounds in Hawaii. That's one of the very few things I miss about living there.

There used to be very different implementations for Wi-Fi extenders/mesh in the old days, but if you buy Wi-Fi extenders/mesh today, they would all be based on the same set of technical standards. If you call up Comcast/Xfinity today and tell them you want to order "Wi-Fi extenders" or "Wi-Fi mesh," regardless of which terminology you use, you will get the same thing.

@Steve-Miller said: That’s pretty crazy. I wonder what went wrong? That type of construction is pretty straightforward and hard to screw up. Leave it to Florida to screw it up. New built homes being built with a shocking lack of quality control are the rule not the exception here. There is a plausible theory that new built homes here are designed to fail before a 30 year mortgage can be paid off. I wouldn't believe it but I see it all the time. Oscar's razor says it's planned obsolescence. Builders here (and building in the state, I guess) have a scandalous reputation. They build the homes like matchsticks with things that can't be seen having clear patch up work (once you can look at it) and attract buyers with interior surfaces. This is their MO. I filter out "New Construction" every time I look at listings.

@jon-nyc said: If it’s 33 out I’m going to tell Mayla it’s 0. Not 0.56. Props to both Big Al and you. You guys have impressive mathematical skills. I limit myself to using the notation-- "F" although I am sometimes lazy and use-- "°." I almost always use this notation out of respect for people who don't use this scale. I convert by using a conversion program after searching. I'm sure timeanddate.com has one. Unfortunately, they only have an app for Apple not for Android at this time.

I don't disagree but Denmark has agreed to everything the US has asked for since WWII. Americans consider this (yet more) belligerence and consider its source. You have to admit this one seems to want to rule over everywhere, over everyone, and over everything.
