So I read The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro. Thought it was fantasy, maybe. Then an Arthurian offshoot, then maybe allegory. Still not sure what it was. That's probably a bad sign.

I liked his Remains of the Day and especially Never Let Me Go, but this one was just all over the place.

I play on my phone. Not sure how to get my result there to transfer here. When you are done, hit share. I think your option is to copy. And just come here and paste it. You're assuming I access the Watch on my phone. I don't, usually. I have an iPhone SE and the screen is kinda too small. I'm resig...

Nice going, Sarge!

Some things are inevitable: death, taxes, and the twice-yearly debate about DST*.

Why haven't we done away with this anachronism yet?

*Except in Arizona and Hawaii. And most of Indiana 'til they came to their senses.

Looks like it's 7 years in NM. You wanna talk driver's license renewal bonanzas? Wait 'til Real ID goes into effect everywhere in the US. Sooo many people will have to do the extra paperwork to be able to use their driver's license to fly. Glad I went through the rigamarole when I first moved out he...

Older Daughter (is she Batsutousai here? Can't remember) used to torrent a lot. Then Comcast, or maybe it was Verizon at the time, sent us a nastygram and I made her quit doing it. She's paying for her own interwebz now, so I don't care what she does. :lol: I'm piggybacking on my kids' services and ...

Aging in place, ugh. My condo is all on one floor, but there's a fairly narrow set of stairs up to it. I'm golden as long as I never have to leave the apartment. :roll: :lol: The big problem here is that there's a design flaw in the fabulous wall o' solar windows in the living/dining room. The archi...

You need to get out more, peter.

Kazoom!

Your youngest son returns not just your phone call, but also the tube socks he borrowed from you when he was in high school.

I wish it could be autumn all year long.

Pretty sure they're just snobs.

Not sure how close NM is to you, Sarge, but it's legal here.

It's good to be back, Sarge. I might just stick around this time.

Av - waiting won't make it any easier, y'know. How long have you been at your current place?

True enough.

Every MCU TV show has been a little different. I've liked all of them (except Ms. Marvel, which didn't do anything for me), but this one is just a lot of fun. I'm kinda sad there's only one episode left.

Nah, it was the carpet on the stairs up to my apartment. We *had* been sitting in the backyard, but I didn't notice anything then.
