When you have to call Apple Care for tech support, start off with this statement, “I’m 68 years old and think these things work on magic. I don’t remember half of my passwords and I’m afraid of hitting the Settings button”. The young person on the other end of the phone immediately starts to speak much slower and in actual English as opposed to using those computer terms that still confuse me.
Try it. It works… as does my iPad again.
Thanks Apple Care.
Two dogs and two pieces of cheese
So I made a grilled cheese sandwich. Since I’m fairly fanatical that the cheese has to perfectly fit the shape of the bread, I end up with small pieces of cheese that I tear off to create the right shape. Tossed the cheese pieces to the dogs. Each got two pieces. Snowy, aka Tub of Lard, snarfed his up before Carm could even get to his two pieces. When Carm got to his cheese, he sniffed it suspiciously and then backed away and stared at it. I’m not sure what he thought it was but he was definitely not interested

The North Slope Borough… we do things differently
This Saturday. Bird TLC will be holding its annual farewell to our migratory bird friends at an event called “Gone With The Wings”. I’d planned to write about the event but then another article about the North Slope Borough hit the paper and I felt a great sense of obligation to try and explain, if possible, that things are done differently up north. It’s something I spent almost ten years as the borough’s public information officer trying to explain to the outside world. It’s not easy.
So, let me just urge you to go to the Bird TLC property above

How Hillary can win in 2016
Let Bill do all the campaigning.
It happened
I turned my furnace on today for the first time since May. Thank god. Winter is on its way!
And yes, I turned it off as soon as the house got up to 64 degrees but still…
Church attendance
If god… be it a he, she or it… is so fixated on taking attendance on Sunday, why did that god make the day so beautiful that being inside of anywhere is what feels sinful?
OMG!
Not only did I just figure out that my baby sister is turning a large number with a zero at the end of it, but I just found out that a Barrow friend that I always think of as the kid I first met there is now a great grandmother. Shoot me. Shoot me now!
Remember the good old days…
You know, when it rained all summer and if we had a sunny day we all ran outside grateful for the sunlight. Now it’s sunny all the time and I find it quite depressing. Give me rain, clouds, wind, give me WEATHER!
