27 Degrees this morning. No walk, snow on ground.
March 1, at least it means Spring is in the air, although it seems like Winter is having a final (I hope) fling this week.
We spent the day indoors. Aliene still isn’t feeling real good, although I think she’s feeling a lot better, and it didn’t make any sense to go any place when the streets are icy.
I did go out to get the paper this morning (only the local paper came, the WSJ didn’t come, so I read it on the internet).
I guess I still have a lot of Memphis in me, I just avoid driving on the streets or getting outside. I actually did buy a snow shovel and bought some deicer, mainly because our driveway is steep in case we had an emergency and had to go someplace. Otherwise, I think the sun makes a fine snowplow. I never did own a snow shovel in Memphis.
Finished the book on China, it as interesting. I now have a new view of China, not the people but the government. Starting a novel (Baldacci, The Escape) and a book on U.S. Grant (“The Man Who Saved the Union”) Both are interesting, in their own way. The problem with library books is I feel I need to get them read, so reading the books I own get delayed.
I am monitoring myself, hoping I don’t get what Aliene had. Can’t do much about it if I do get it, but I have been washing my hands every time I walk past a sink and a bar of soap, trying to prevent it!
Monday, March 2, will mark exactly six months on the job. I am amazed at what i have learned, and probably will b amazed at what I don’t know in another six months or a year. It has certainly been a very enjoyable experience and a trip into a realm I had no idea existed or at least how it operated.
I am thinking of taking all of my written records and have them scanned and stored. That would save a lot of space, plus eliminate the need for storage. I think you always have the vague fear of that it will disappear into a never-never land of a digital black hole, but there is always the possibility they could be destroyed or lost etc. And they probably aren’t that important anyway, since I haven’t looked at them.
I am trying to reduce the number of e-mails I have been getting. I have been requesting my name be taken off where I feel it is legit, canceled notifications etc.
Of course, I don’t know if I can do much about the creepy e-mails I get from amazon.Com or the “notices” from Linkedin that I automatically delete.
As an example, I looked for “dash cams” on the internet and, of course, amazon.com has them so that was one of the search findings. However, I have seen so much junk and gouging priced items from amazon.com, I don’t buy anything but books from them, and I don’t buy many books anymore since we have an excellent library system here.
Ever since, I have had these creepy e-mails and ads popping up on my computer about dash cams. I wouldn’t buy one over the internet anyway, since I want it where I can get it serviced. However, I could buy one from, say, Best Buy, at BestButy.com and they would install and service it.
Anytime I look at anything on amazon.com, I get these creepy ads and e-mails for months. I did buy some cell phone cases etc. and they were literally junk. Cheap but so junky I never used them. And I mentioned before how hey were $40 higher on a set of head phones (same model, brand etc.) than everyone else, so they try to play a lot of tricks also.
Dream yesterday morning, I was on some kind of a beach area (although I never saw the water), although the ground was kind of rough. There were a couple of large buildings (hotels?) I went out to the car an there were a bunch of magazines on the front seat, and I went back to the room for some reason. When I came back Angela and Kali were in the car, waiting for me. Don’t have any idea what it means!
Hopefully I will get better at recording the dream. I really do forget as soon as I wake up, so I try to record it immediately.
That’s it for now, Sunday, March 1, 2015.
