I wanted to hold off buying some big ticket items at Wallyworld until mid December, when I get a one time 25% discount. With the supply chain situation being what it is, I may want to buy them now. In the case of my tablet, the decision has been made by the tablet. It clearlyContinue reading “To buy or not to buy”

Cash Crunch
With Neewollah starting in earnest tonight, I decided to get some ash from my bank’s ATM. There was no cash in it. The one across the street did not have any either. With the food vendors coming in tomorrow night, they better figure it out. Fortunately, this has been the most serious shortage we haveContinue reading “Cash Crunch”
Summer Encore
The storm system that came through Friday brought a brief warming trend with highs in the low 80s. Fall will return tomorrow morning with the temperature around 45. Time to put the jacket back on. Neewollah started with the stage version of Wizard of Oz. Tomorrow, the Queen Neelah talent competion takes place, with theContinue reading “Summer Encore”
Power Outage
We had a serious thunderstorm at home last night. I was at work so I had no idea the power was out until I got home this morning. According to my email alerts from the electrie utility, the power was initially predicted to be out for almost six hours and according to my clock theyContinue reading “Power Outage”
End of the Football Season
In Kansas, the high school football regular season ends tonight. The local teams are not doing well. By next Friday, all of the local teams should be done. On Halloween afternoon, the two local community college teams will play for the Jayhawk Conference championship. It feels weird to end football season in October, but IContinue reading “End of the Football Season”
Winter is Coming
Around here, we have had no serious shortages and prices have not gotten ridiculous. The first cracks are starting to show in what could be a worse time than the 70s. Last week, I filled up my tank for 3 dollars a gallon like I have since the WuFlu began. The day after, it shotContinue reading “Winter is Coming”
Holiday Excess
It was bad enough when Halloween stuff was on the Walmart floor right after Labor Day, but now Christmas stuff is on the floor before Halloween. Normally they wait until after Halloween. Speaking of Halloween, Indy celebrates Neewollah starting this Friday. I normally don’t go, but this year I will, since it may be aContinue reading “Holiday Excess”
New Junk, Part Two
We got started setting up our new handhelds from Wallyworld. Unfortunately we got locked out of our work apps. Since this is my weekend, I will have to wait until Thursday night. Tomorrow, I have to go to the Indy library to do some research on local journalism, or the lack thereof. We have localContinue reading “New Junk, Part Two”
New Junk
The long awaited Walmart take home scanners have arrived. We are allowed to use them at home for personal use. Unfortunately we can’t actually use them because of a long drawn out authorization process. And if I don’t manage to get through it tonight, I have to wait until next week. Fortunately, we got mostContinue reading “New Junk”
Bathroom Remodel
The fan in the bathroom went out, causing a minor mold problem. Since the bathroom was long overdue for a remodel, I had someone come out and upgrade it. With slim pickings at the hardware stores and supplies expected to get shorter, I am glad I did not put off this off much longer.
