Because the truck won’t pass the smog inspection, and because this is a valley of 1,500,000 peeps, I have to pay extra for driving what little I do. The DMV forces me to drive under 5,000 a year, and usually, it’s 3,000+ so I see no reason for spendy anything on the truck.
Which is why I buy my own parts. If Jerry got them from the local Subaru dealer, they would cost 2-3 times as much as what I can get them, either online or in a local store.
It used to be that each year, the registration went down as the vehicle aged in NV. Now, instead of paying the $35 that I did the last year the Toyota was drivable, I pay in excess of $80 with all the taxes and fees they add.
In Utah, I will pay $24 and no restrictions. Period. And insurance will drop to $40 from almost $70. There is no downside to moving to Hurricane. Unless you add the “cold” winters...
Gray-beard floof! <3
Good morning.
Good morning. Tiny rescue kitten would like to purr for you.
Did you ever get my picture of the Sumerian goddess?
Absolutely! I even commented on it in the letter I wrote!
My life has been a little unsettled, lately. The death on Friday was, I believe, as a direct result of the idiots at SNRHA implementing the “renovation” in a senior complex. I’ve been warning people, but no one wants to listen.
So now, I will contact Eddie the Attorney, and ask him what kind of documentation he needs to begin a stop action order.
With Walmart now closing between midnight and 0600, I will have to drive to WinCo to do my early morning shopping. Since its farther away, I’ll either have to shop once or twice a week, or gas up more than once a month. Six of one...
My ice cream stash is low, and I don’t like that. It’s my go-to comfort food when I just can’t deal with life for one more nanosecond.
What renovation are they doing?
Bummer about your Walmart closing! Have you heard anything from Hurricane?
I’m glad it got there. Kathleen was impressed with my lions.
The are going to “remodel” this place (something NO one wants who lives here, because the Suits ignored our requests for what WE wanted [car ports, dog run, better security lights; gates on the patios]) and make the individual apartments bigger.
We’re seniors, and all of us, to one degree or another, have disabilities. Seniors and the disabled have a hard time with change. This has been “in the works” for eight years, and regardless of the resistance, the Suits are going through with it.
We’ve all had our “individual interview” to see if we wanted to move out permanently or move to another apartment on Property. This particular woman has resisted it from the beginning, saying it was criminal to force old people out of the places they plan to die in.
After the first individual interview, this woman had a stroke. She was released from the hospital, and was improving but very slowly. And then, when she was told of another mandatory interview, she just couldn’t deal with it and passed away Friday morning.
I had asked Eddie a couple of months ago if there was any way to stop this, and he said someone had to die or have a stroke that was directly related to the move. Proving it will be something else.
SNRHA has moved families out of several complexes for renovations but this is the first time they have decided to do it with seniors. The stupidity is rampant.
I’m so angry about this I can’t stand myself. The woman who died had been in WWII and passed away in the VA home in Boulder City. She will be buried with honors.
No word from Hurricane. I will call in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, I’ll be at #3, and will then make plans to reserve the rental truck and tow dolly and get the driver on the alert, as well as talk to the bishop about the loading crew.
Kathleen is learning early whom to butter up and when! ;o]
People who want to give more power to the government should have to live with the situation of low-income elderly people.
I hope you’ll be Number 2!
I feel the need to finish up the packing and at this stage I don’t dare ignore it. So tomorrow, after I get back from washing clothes, I’ll start to pack up the books and papers. I really should buy one more tub for the storage pantry, but I just don’t have the money for it.
The rest, I believe I can pack into boxes. OK...make it two tubs because I don’t want to put the things in frames into a box that can be dropped. And I still need to get a cooler.
Since I haven’t packed the small appliances, yet, I decided to cook up some rice today. It was smelling so good, and my mouth began to water. When I heard the rice cooker shut off, I went in, scooped out a small bowl and went to the fridge for some soy sauce and butter...and no soy sauce.
For the first time in my adult life, I have no soy sauce! Oh, the horror!! And its brown rice, too. :o[
Maybe I’ll have enough money left that I can stop by Wally’s on the way home from the laundromat and get a small bottle of soy sauce.
The flu vaccine is only 10 percent effective this year. Blame eggs.M/a>
Well that’s an interesting typo. Gotta be Darksheare’s fault..
I sympathize deeply with your lack of soy sauce. Yellow mustard is my essential condiment.
One of these days I plan to read the post that we are supposedly discussing. But not tonight. But I must admit it has an intriguing title.
Of course it helps if you like your Rhapsody In Blue..
It’s about a flexible robot-thing that grows itself at amazing speeds.
Sort of like a government bureaucracy..
The guy who discovered Vulcanization was messing around in his kitchen. The guy who developed the polymerase chain reaction was walking on the beach.
The benzene ring came out of a dream.
My theory about this robot thing is that the guy was taking a shower.
You must have read one of my FB post conversations with a niece over her son, at 14, had just discovered Gershwin. Of course, the clip you just referenced was amazing to me!
