Good morning on this Thursday morning. The temperature is reasonable outside, about 35°. I don't know how long this weather can hold but it is a good reprieve for winter. I really don't have any plans for today although I may participate in GARBAGE DAY. Someone has given me a laptop. Apparently it was someone's laptop who has died. They tell me that when they turned it on it did not have an operating system. This is an old machine and comes differently than the new ones. I installed the operating system and it works fine. However, it is considerably heavier than the new laptops. It actually would not be convenient for this writer to use. I have sent an e-mail to the donor of this machine offering to return it. I now wait for a response. A person gets spoiled with the new technology. I assume this machine was manufactured in circa 2000. I think if someone were to use it as a desktop computer, it would be fine. If nothing else I shall give it away to someone walking down the street, or leave it on the bench by a bus stop.
Do you enjoy the controversy of what do you call Pluto, planet, dwarf planet, or something in between?
As we get closer to Christmas, I entertain the idea that you have a good day even more so than in the past. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

Good morning. Happy HUMP DAY. Yesterday was highly successful, as far as getting things done I wanted to get done. And since the United States mail cooperated with this writer about getting the bill for his property tax, everything is good in the world. The weather is really good this morning. It is 38°and clear. We were supposed to get some rain overnight and apparently we did not. Always a good thing this time of year to stay away from the precipitation as it gets slippery. I almost felt like going out for some exercise this morning but of course there are still some slippery areas. I would not like to have to go on injured reserve during the wintertime. As matter of fact, I don't want to go on injured reserve at any time. We are now within one week of Christmas. When I had my real life, this was always hectic for me. Now that I am only a computer-generated image, there is no difference except the inconvenience of long lines at the store. Hopefully you have all of your things finished and can enjoy Christmas.
Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. I am one week away from Christmas. The countdown is intense. Yesterday I got out and about to do some things. I thought I was going to get downtown but changed directions and got things done at the branch near my house. I did not receive the bill for the taxes and so no need to go downtown. Now I got the bill and I am armed with the check and will embark on the mission today. I have not been in that bank in a couple of years and people warned me of the changes. I shall be intimidated but I shall succeed. And of course walking into City Hall is always challenging as the phrase indicates. While out yesterday, I failed at another mission, finding Gedney's Sweet Snackers, or whatever they are called. Could not find them at reputable places so had to go into Walmart. Google told me to do it. The brand was there but not the specific one. Now I fear they are no longer made and it will be eternity without them. And to compound my day today, I shall have to get the car out of the garage. I was successful in doing the laundry yesterday. Everyone on the site is always bragging of doing that so I gave it a shot. I like to do it three or four times a year unless emergency pushes it forward. I have a lot of clothes.
Keep the countdown going..... and good luck. Ciao for now and watch your wallet! I was going to make a disparaging remark about Clint Eastwood's new movie, but that can wait for a future episode of my newsletter.
Sunday morning, and a good morning to you. It is 33°and this is the first time in a long time that he has been above freezing overnight. I also noticed the stars. There are so many and yet I could count every star in this quadrant of the galaxy. I was not out long enough to notice if the rock I like to call the Moon was in the vicinity. It almost made me feel like going for my exercise but it was too late. I had already taken some nourishment and coffee and I never exercise after eating anything. And to be quite frank, there are still areas that are slippery.
Yesterday I was able to remedy the situation at the grocery store where I was cheated. I was able to make things right and I felt afterwards that everything was right in the universe. I think I shall return to the store today as I wish to get some Jewish Rye with caraway seeds. I have exhausted my supply at home. It is rather expensive but enjoyable. I have purposely left my motor vehicle out of the garage to enabled this writer to get some things done today, and tomorrow. I was hoping that I would have received my property tax bill in the mail so I could also get that done at the same time I have to do something else. Alas, it was not meant to be and I shall have to take care of that in a separate action. It is one of the few bills I do not pay online. It is not that I discriminate against this for security. I just want the paperwork for completion of my tax returns at a later time. I'm always the one to suffer.
I leave you now with my status the same as usual. I'm drinking the good coffee, listening to the stereo, and composing communiques and other compositions online. Have a good day. Ciao for now in watch your wallet!

Good morning on a Saturday morning. It is 22° out and I can see every star in this quadrant of the galaxy. I was not dressed properly and so it did feel somewhat cold. Yesterday, I actually got some things done as far as getting out of the house. Unfortunately I was the victim of a crime or ethics violation at the grocery store. I must have taken the wrong salad dressing because I was charged inappropriately (too much). Some people might say that is my fault but I would issue a retort that someone should have realized I had the wrong item considering it was not the coupon item. Fortunately I have my automobile in the street ready to go today and so I shall be able to rectify this matter in a timely fashion. I have also closed the book on the attache case test. I'm just wondering if there will be a time when the attache case reappears at the bus stop. It sort of reminds me of the time someone stole some garbage I was going to throw away at the garbage receptacle at the grocery store. I can only wonder what that person thought when they stopped running and realized it was garbage.
My agenda is the usual for a Saturday. Nothing spectacular. The only thing that shall be interesting is my return to the grocery store. Have a good day as we move one day closer to where I like to call Christmas. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Policemen wear masks provided by the American Red Cross in Seattle because of the flu.
Good morning. Temps are heading for 35* today. Able to walk on the streets and sidewalks again, for the most part. It is MOVIE DAY, but status is uncertain. I have to activate my car for a trip to the store later. Outside of that, the agenda is open.
I decided to go through my house and find all of the things I wish to scan. Things such as important papers, pictures, etc. In either case, I started this action but it is going to take quite some time. I have several attache cases, some of them in poor shape. I decided to get rid of one of them. I took it out and left it by a bench at a bus stop. One of those enclosed bus stops. I think tomorrow I shall go back and find out if there are any dishonest people who have stolen the attache case. I was going to do that later but I got lazy. I may give a report on my findings a later time.
Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
