Still a little tired, but much better than yesterday.  Part of this may be the high humidity.  It is over 70% indoors.  It was supposed to rain today, but that never materialized.  Fine with me.

I fear that we are heading for a major meat shortage in the next few months.  Tyson (for whom I have no love) has closed several of their processing plants.  Suddenly.  I suspect more to come.  One of them alone had 27oo jobs.  The people showed up to work and were told that it was over.  They will be paid through the next couple of months, but that’s it.  These issues are so very complex–not as simple as one would think–with so many factors to be considered, that it is  almost impossible to figure out cause from effect.  There was a meat shortage at Whole Foods a couple of months back and lamb was impossible to find.

There will probably be other shortages, as well.

Great.

On that joyful note…

Have a good night all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

I was quite tired this morning, so I ended up going downtown to run what should have been a 10 minute errand in the afternoon.  I usually try to go early in the day.  Especially on a nice day.  Especially on a Saturday.  Especially in the summer.  My little borough just is a people magnet.  Folks seem to come from miles around just to take up all the parking spaces and mill around.  I don’t know what the attraction is.

So it took me much more time than it should have.

The air conditioning really was not that effective.  I hope that slow leak that they talked about a few months ago has not become a fast leak.  I ended up going around and around the parking lot like the Flying Dutchman looking for a space,  I couldn’t use the handicapped spots as they were both taken.  So when a spot opened up I took it.  It was hotter than blazes.  I had on a thin nylon windbreaker which I always wear because I don’t carry a purse and it has nice deep pockets for wallet, keys, etc.. Well today it felt like a down ski jacket.

By the time I got home, I was really behind in what I wanted to do.

Hence, the fewer posts.

Tomorrow will be better as I don’t have to go anywhere.

That’s it for today.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

I wasn’t able to post as much as usual today because I spent the entire morning  (or a very large part of it) on the phone with Verizon.  All is well and the techs will be coming later in the month to put some gizmo on my computer to deliver my new data-receiver (hope that’s a real thing).  It was painless, will be somewhat cheaper and that’s that.  I get to keep my phone, etc. so there will be a minimum of change.  I had worried about there being a sort of Macy’s vs Gimbels problem because my phone is leased from AT&T, but no problem there either.  That’s also good.

So basically, nothing will change on my end except the delivery system. That’s fine with me, and I hope it’s true.

It’s hot again today, but nowhere near as hot or humid as it has been.

Well, at least one important thing was taken care of today, and that’s something.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Checked my mail a few minutes ago and there was a 5 page letter from Verizon, telling me that they were going to “discontinue copper-based home phone service”.  In about two months.  This is not the time of day to hit me with a bunch of confusing crap.

Needless to say, I am putting it aside and will pick it up tomorrow morning.

I hate change.

Just skimming this thing it does appear that I will be responsible for keeping whatever I end up with powered.  Batteries, etc.

I am getting a headache.

I bought a cell phone several months ago, and ended up getting so frustrated trying to use it I cancelled the carrier.  Every time I turned the blasted thing on it kept asking me if I wanted to call 911.

I will address this tomorrow.

Have a good night all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody
