I just got off the phone with Charlie. He didn’t sound very well when he first called, but sounded much better by the time we hung up. He finally got a new phone, and just like the rest of us, he’s trying to get used to the buttons.

He got up in the middle of the night recently and tweaked the worst of his knees, so now he’s using a walker. He said that one of the residents barricaded himself in his apartment, and when management finally contacted this guy’s friend, they all went to the apartment and it was empty. No one knows where they went or when.

Then he said Crazy Frank said he wasn’t moving until he had the key to his temporary apartment, and he was then served with an eviction notice that had something to do with “unauthorized cats,” VHS tapes of porn and something else. I guess he considered the offer and they moved all his stuff to another apartment and suddenly, the eviction notice was rescinded.

I told him the manager who was there was probably going to go somewhere else when the renovation project is finished, and he said it was possible. I suspect she is one of those people who do what has to be done to get desired results.

My Kindle was losing a charge when it was supposed to be charging, and I thought maybe it was the outlet, and grabbed hold of the plug end. It was hot. So I unplugged it and took it into the kitchen to use my cell phone charger. By the time I plugged it in, the Kindle was at 3%. So Amazon is sending me a new charger, free.

Wind chill of 28°. I don’t want to go outside again!
