This morning as I was proofreading some previous entries, I realized that I’ve been improperly captioning things for at least a week. It’s July, not June. Wishful thinking, perhaps. I’m left wondering if no-one noticed, or if no-one told me. (Mrs. Mack505 says she didn’t notice.) They’re fixed now. I’ve also added a [...] Darkness. Moonless blackness. The normally cold LCD light is supplemented by dim orange incandescence from the kitchen windows. All is silent, but it’s not. The MacBook’s cooling fans whir softly in a futile 4000 RPM attempt to mitigate the thick July air. Rain patters peacefully outside the screen porch. A breeze passes through [...] So I upgraded to WordPress 3.0 this morning, and now all my new posts are titled ‘Auto Draft.’ Arrrrggh! I thought it might be due to the older version of the theme that I was running, so I upgraded it. Unfortunately I accidentally deleted all my header images in the process. *sigh* Please [...] Classic cars. A classic is something beyond old. It has to have some sort of appeal to distinguish it from being just another old heap. I’d like to think I own a classic. I own what I’d like to believe is the World’s Only Dual Carb, Satellite-Navigated, iPod-Equipped 1974 VW Type 1 Beetle. [...] This guy keeps showing up in my Facebook ad bar. What does he have to do with educational grants? Does FB think I look like him, or that I want to become like him? Either way, it gets a FAIL. I am media’s worst nightmare. It all started back around 1995 when I was commuting over an hour each way to work, five days a week. I’ve always hated ‘drive time’ radio. I have no use for juvenile hosts who play pranks on the unsuspecting public and each other while airing at most [...] A reader commented that it was good to see me offering ‘attaboys’ in addition to criticism. In that spirit, I have more praise. This one is a little different. I recently needed an electrician at The Farm. I had no references, but I found an ad for a local electrician at another local [...] And she isn’t here!! Last fall Mrs Mack505 installed a new phone line to serve her home office. Almost immediately we began receiving phone calls looking for Janice Foster. At least twice a day, every day, some person or computer calls for her. We’ve answered them all, and explained that she simply is [...] Kudos to the shift manager at my local Dunkin Donuts in Topsfield, MA. I forgot my wallet this morning; and he offered to put my usual on a tab, without my asking. Call it good business, customer service, or simply feeding my addiction. The fact is he went above and beyond for [...] This week we received the registration renewal for Mrs. Mack505′s car. In the message box it says, “If this vehicle is newly acquired it must be inspected within 7 days.” Say it with me now: RE-NEW-AL. I’m glad to see all my taxes and fees are employing the Best and Brightest at the [...] |
