I get to sit in the waiting room. Fun…not so much. It’s been nearly a year since we bought it. 2000 miles we’ve put on it. And we’re getting about 45 mpg on the highway and more than 50-something in town. We were filling the Forester’s 15...

The solid state drive on her HP laptop went flooey—the machine overheats, chronically, and it went. This is Not A Good Time for various reasons. I think overheating and solid state drives are not a friendly situation. Don’t know what we’re going to...

I read the labels carefully, overthought it, was way careful, and put them in the wrong eyes. Scratch one pair of disposable contacts. Went to another, and much happier. But probably due to a half year of wearing a ‘wrong’ prescription, I have the world...

Pita. It’s at least a cloudy day. But the stuff is not readily wearing off! But I did get the exam, regular doc in her new clinic, and I’m much happier. Going for the usual reading glasses with contacts, driving glasses if the contacts alone won’t do...
