There I went and missed all the fun again. *sigh*

I think it must be Firefox that won’t let certain photos be displayed. I have click on “Show Image” and the only way back out of that (that I know of) is to close the window and open another one. But I don’t want to go back to Windoze. It’s bad enough I have to put up with their interminable updates.

Wellnow. Charlie’s call.

I need to try and find a sympathy card to send him. His long time friend, Myrtle, passed away. She had gotten a motorized wheel chair maybe 12 years ago, and quit walking entirely, when she used to walk at least a mile every day with Charlie. After a few years, she began to fall in her apartment, and kept smacking her face so she always looked beaten up.

Her son placed her in an assisted living complex where she did quite well. That was about four years ago. COVID came around and missed her, and she had told Charlie then that she would live to be 100. Then she got the vaccine and within a week she was dead. She was 97.

She was a tough ol’ broad!

It also seems as if whoever is running the place there wants everything done on computer, and Charlie has trouble with a simple cell phone. He can probably make arrangements with his bank to pay it, but I don’t know if they have a “senior rep” there, any more. We don’t have one, so if a person doesn’t know the ins and outs of housing here, s/he won’t learn.

And it seems he has all of the Clive Cussler books, now. I sent him four, and had given him another three when I lived there.

He took a walk a while ago, and met one of his new neighbors coming the other way who had a mask on. Charlie greeted him, and the guy told him he should be wearing a mask, and Charlie’s response was they he was outside and didn’t need one. Then he said, “But I guess I should because I met you.” Charlie said to me, “He won’t talk to me, now.”

OK, I’m off to take my shower, now.
