Another missing screw moment
Typical afternoon banter, in the quiet time before supper.
She: So, do you want to go for a walk?
Me:f Nope.
She: Why not?
Me: Someone has to be here, in case Amazon calls.
Don’t “@” me. It’s a thing. They call, often. Insistent. Someone, with my exact telephone number, keeps ordering old i Phones. Amazon has my back, though. They put the orders on hold until they can speak with me. I wonder if I’m responsible for the perceived shortage of older cellphones. Have I clogged up the supply chain? Perhaps I DO need an older model smartphone. Going to think this one through. After supper.
We’re (once again) thinking that we should upgrade our Internet services. That whole Starlink idea has me intrigued. I am unsure where I would put their dish. On the deck? On a big pole, on the deck? Going to see what the neighbours are doing, now that better technology is out there. No, Bell, we understand that you don’t do modern. Your loyalty to those dudes that yell at each other “Watson, come here” have left you out on a corporate limb. If I can get better access to the Intertubes, I’m keen.
Last week, we ordered some “reading glasses”, to replace one of my existing pairs that l0st a screw. Holds the nose pad in place. Today, the postal service brought two more pairs. One of the pairs has lost a screw that holds the nose pad in place. Am I cursed, or is this a new feature, designed to place small pits on my upper nose? If I had faster Internet, I could do a search.
Right now, I am giving myself a high five, because my monthly blue bags are out to the curb, almost a day early. I know, I don’t actually have a curb at the end of my driveway, but years of urban living gave me (unrealistic) expectations. Unless there is a blue bag theft, I’ll be adding to the giant recycle mountain that can be seen (from outer space), located elsewhere. Just doing my part for the environment.
Actually, my newest reading glasses (other than the screw dilemma, are a good fit. Gives me a bit of a John Lennon look.
