One year ago today: March 30, 2025, the pessimistic view.
Five years ago today: March 30, 2021, brunch at the Cozy Cove.
Nine years ago today: March 30, 2017, beware of City Hall.
Random years ago today: March 30, 2001, no soup for you.
Four hours to sort things out, what a waste of time. We have electricity back, cut off for $61 overdue, the city is just proving what ghastly money managers they are. Grubbing for chump change. I have a list of items jotted down from people met at the hospital. One insisted I listen to a band called “Snake Oil”. Do you have any idea how many bands have that name? I’m still weak enough to take the day off, whence I watched a clip on Voyager 1 approaching a distance of one light-day from Earth. That took about 50 years.
By noon, I was pretty much crawling. I had to do old-school banking because I am all out of deposit slips and my ATM cards are expired. Heart problems never seem to happen in isolation when I’m concerned. Since I was downtown, I stocked up on essentials and made it over to the library for more audiobooks. “Bullet” is finished, it turns into a crazy twist at the end, since the “killer” was not the guy she shot and she winds up a fugitive in France. I have six new mysteries, the format that dominates audiobooks, but also a novel theme about a village that renames an old plot as a “fairie ring” to boost the flagging town coffers.
This morning’s photo is the excellent book from the Clewiston Thrift. Amazing well-written for what is largely a documentary. It flows like an imaginative tale and the vocabulary is superb, the logic is a treat to follow. Take the photo, it would probably not be posted today, at is shows an older White man posing with lots of slim, proportionate, young White girls. That’s Carrier, the A/C guy, at the 1939 expo. The book points out how his invention caused the world’s largest cities to grow in the tropics where just decades ago, all were in temperate zones.

Doing my best to avoid hospital pics, this one is over a single request. My reference to the “hand grenade” is this drain mechanism. It has the same hydraulics but better ergonomics, using the same sponge system as the bulky Roomba. A pliable bulb the size and shape of a grenade. This shows around 20ml of fluid that would normally seen into bandages. They don’t want that, so a slight squeeze on the bulb, as is shown here, creates a mile back-pressure. Emptied daily after recording the volume, and 20ml is really nothing.
I am now personally convinced there is a direct corelation between sedation and gout.
ADDENDUM
I bought extra data this month, wanting to stay as inactive as I can until the stitches are gone. Remember the Gruman X47 and it’s variants? I consider it a billion-dollar joke, often taking years do develop what is mostly and outdated concept. In its current form, it is pilotless and being tested from an aircraft carrier. It seems to use no systems that are not already in operation elsewhere, such a GPS guidance, and refueling from drones.
Hmmm, my comment above about the three fingers needs a boost to explain. It is a referral to A.I. videos, whereby the software, or at least a lot of the current apps, has trouble generating hand pictures with four fingers. This can be spotted easily when the subject picks anything up and, at least briefly, has only three fingers. It is a poor-man’s test you are being duped. Why duped? Because A.I. does not arrive with a warning sticker.
