Keith gets his packing skills from his father. The first time I flew to LA for a visit after moving away Craig was eight months old so there was a lot to pack. I stayed with his parents who had a crib. Keith's father walked in while I was packing for my return trip and noticed I was having a bit of difficulty and took over. He looked at me and asked if Keith had packed my suitcase for me

The was the last time I had Keith pack for me unless he was traveling with me

We have now lost power three times in under two hours, always for five or ten seconds. I am so tired of this ineptitude.

The lights here at my work have been blinking off and on, but they power hasn't gone out...yet.

Voting started here today. I drove by the library and the line stretched around half of the building. In the sun. Will have to take water and sunscreen tomorrow.

I dropped off my ballot yesterday!

Does it cost anything to drop off a ballot? Like postage or anything...

They're all postage paid, so no one has to buy a stamp if they choose to put them in the mail instead of putting them in a drop box.

DR George I attempted to sign up and can't. "Online applicants must reside within the Pierce County Library District, Pierce County Washington." Oh well

Oh...I just remembered. Jane, are you in the Ft. Vancouver Regional Library System? You have to get a reciprocal card, then you can check out online items. Here is the online application site:
https://www.piercecountylibrary.org/ecard.aspx?id=1502

Then scroll down to:
Reciprocal Library (for residents of Tacoma or Puyallup, or outside of Pierce County)

Select "Ft. Vancouver Regional Library System" from the drop-down box, then continue with the application. You should get an e-mail with information very quickly. When I did it, it didn't take too long.

Thanks. I am now waiting for my email confirmation.

I have it. Now I need to download the app and attempt to use the system. I hope I can just add the library to my Overdrive.

I downloaded the Libby app to my new tablet and was able to add both Timberland and Pierce County to it.

I actually remember watching the very short-lived TV show Hot l Baltimore, based on the play. And I specifically remember her. Then, I remember seeing her on L.A. Law and Three and a Half Men, and a few other projects along the way.

The book I wanted to purchase and didn't because Nook is down is not available. Too bad it wasn't the opposite

Tonight, we watched (and enjoyed) Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The original version.

I wonder where I got the idea to watch it?

Yup. At least it was only $5.99 plus tax.

I need to find something to put on hold there. I will check my Nook wish list.

Whenever I see the word "nook," I now think of the local hamburger jernt.

Groan. I hope your line isn't as long tomorrow. Can you take a chair with you?

I saw others with chairs. I always have one in the trunk.

She was the starr of a movie called Heartland in which she played a farm wife. She helped a cow with a breach birth. I had never seen anythin g like that back then. Apparently, it was Julia Roberts' first movie, though I don't remember her.

Back to my movie. I had to take a break to do dishes, clean up and play with the bird.

Carol had her surgery yesterday. She woke up to discover that they did not give her a new hip, but they put in another spacer with antibiotics. That infection just refuses to go away. In six weeks or so, maybe she'll get the hip.

A year ago, we were touring around the island of Kos. What a trip that was.

Poor Carol. It must have been very disappointing. Vibes to her.

I have the Blu-ray set that has all three versions of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, so you can choose which version you want to see. I actually wasn't able to find it on Amazon, so I'll have to make sure that that's what I really have. $:-\$

But I know I have some multi-version release of the movie.

And now, I'm off. I got a couple of items that my mom asked me to buy for her, so I'll call to make sure that she's home and wants them tonight, otherwise I can bring them tomorrow or wait until Friday.

But before I go...
