How Costco became a 'third place'I love Costco. I buy a lot of the same stuff that @wtg does.
On my usual list:
Eyeglasses when I need them! So much cheaper than the optician at eye doc office
Eggs (free range) 18 count
cheap wine for Mr. AM (he doesn’t care)
Kirkland prosecco
Nicer bubbly (currently Brut Cattin)
TP
Frozen shrimp, salmon burgers
Frozen blueberries
Quinoa
Olives (stuffed with jalapeno and garlic, yum)
Tuna
Sardines
Sneakers (Skechers $30)
Sometimes prepared food that I can keep in the freezer for when I don’t feel like cooking
Clothes
GasolineAnyway, I like it. I’m not making friends there, though. Oh! My niece works there, too.

Parsing health gizmosI don’t care about that metric. But I do like getting messages and calendar alerts on my wrist. Most of my clothes don’t have pockets. I don’t want the ringer on. A little buzz on my wrist is fine.

Solving the food waste problemWe have yard debris/food waste collection weekly here in Portland (Oregon). Also paper and cardboard recycling. And glass jars and bottles. Garbage collection is every other week, and you pay based on the size of your bin, so it’s in your best interest to recycle as much as you can.

Whether where you areOh, it’s perfect here this week. Sunny, blue skies, highs between 70 and 85 all week. I’m enjoying it. Air quality good, the wildfire smoke is not coming this way (and the fires are somewhat contained).

Piano buzz@Rontuner Yes, my blinds will sometimes vibrate sympathetically with the piano. It’s the plastic header and bracket on top down/bottom up cellular shades. I have to go jiggle all of them and then it stops. But this one sounded different!

Piano buzzThere was a weird vibration in my piano at C and C# above middle C.

Found this in one of the soundboard holes. So glad I found it before the piano tuner comes next week; that would have been embarrassing.
Cat must have worked hard to get it in there. Like putt putt golf under the edge of the lid!

What are you reading?@dolmansaxlil I know! I don’t see how this is life-changing, but I’m in that other camp.
If anyone else reads Yesteryear, I’d love to get your take on it.

The new (foldable) iPhone@ShiroKuro The large screen is only relatively large compared to a regular phone. Probably not big enough to read sheet music at the piano.
