Subj : Various Things To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Mon Jul 13 2020 09:18:00 Hi Daryl! BM> I wasn't overly concerned about reading glasses that cost a few BM> dollars. Now my contact lenses...... DS> Reminds me where the blonde gets pulled over by a blonde cop. DS> She can't find her drivers license, but finds a makeup mirror. DS> When the cop looks in it, she said "I'm sorry. I didn't realize DS> you were a cop". DS> This was after the blonde said that she had contacts, and the DS> cop said "I don't care who you know!! You're supposed to be DS> wearing glasses!!" That was one of my initial flights-of-fancy concerns when I started wearing contact lenses: "Says here yer' supposed t' be wearin' glasses." "I'm wearing contact lenses -- check my eyes." BM> I had read of people who "missed the deadline". Most countries were BM> making arrangements to get their citizens back home but had to be done BM> by a certain date. DS> With Amtrak cutting all the long distance trains to 3 days a DS> week only on October 1, and not being to make connections (never DS> mind the needed 2 week quarantines), my travel days outside DS> central Arkansas, are over. Or at least until things settle down toward the old normal again. I can't see people waiting around overnight to make a connection to a city five or eight hours away. I'm thinking (using trains for the example) instead of 50 car passenger trains they'll be 10 or 20, so run more frequently and so more conveniently. BM> We have/had something similar here where usually the high school BM> graduation classes would sell coupon books with similar discounts. BM> Nothing this year (of course). Bettendorf had banned all door-to-door BM> solicitations; off-hand don't know if allowed to resume. (Which BM> reminds me: I haven't seen the panhandlers - Bettendorf requires them BM> to get a license which AFAIK is a minimal cost and more to keep track BM> of them plus spread out so don't have several individuals fighting over BM> the same location.) DS> They need something like that in Arkansas. Or at least Little Rock. DS> No, I didn't...I just noted the fish sandwich. I guess your DS> reading glasses are dirty now. BM> Darn decapitated coffee! DS> Or after a cow has calves, she is de-calf-inated. BM> Moo-ving on.... DS> When I said BS one day at work, a female employee said "Cows DS> do, too. But, they don't brag about it". Good comeback! I have an old paperback which is a compilation of odds and ends. One is a simple doodle-drawing of what I take as two duck heads. One says "Bullsh--!", the other says "In my day we said 'point of order'". BM> Wonder what ringtone they use! DS> COME AND GET IT!! BM> DS> Or from a play I was in 45 years ago called "Headin' For A DS> Weddin'". Every play or movie I've seen has at least one scene of DS> a dinner/meal. Well, when the vittles are on the table, and Maw DS> Hollowbone (I was her husband in the play) yells out "Come And DS> Get It!!", everyone yelled "Yahoo!!"...and the script noted DS> "there is a mad rush for the table". Surprise! Plastic food!! BM> ... Bad TV: "That One Fly That Sits on the 7-Eleven Donut All Day" DS> I don't want ANY insects on my food...flies, gnats, etc. BM> Yummmm: protein! DS> I've seen dogs snap at flies buzzing around their heads, and at DS> times, they'd catch them, and eat them. Well if frogs can eat what bugs them.... BM> ... PC RAID... Kills program bugs, DEAD! DS> I wish there was such a product...but it'd meet its match with DS> Windows. :P LINUX!!! Of course it has a few bugs and quirks too. ¯ ® ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ¯ ® ¯ (Humans know what ® ¯ to remove.) ® ....
