Too bad my wallet isn't, as I am now $421 the poorer.

It's so weird. Medicare (and I suppose my supplemental?) covers the basic exam, but not the contact lens evaluation or the refraction fee or the retinal imaging or the lenses. Gee, thanks for the help.

I always wonder, as regards health insurance plans, when exactly our eyes and teeth were determined to not be part of our bodies, to the point that even now in 2022 they get such little coverage.



And Medicare has finally added hearing aids though I expect the quality of those covered isn't great.

No rain today.  I really need to get out for a walk, and hopefully will feel better once I am moving.

Watched the video. BK as "Jerry". Amazing!  :)

And equally amazing that BK had totally forgotten about it. I wonder what other little nuggets might come to light next. Stay tuned!

It seems that a lot of the actors interacting with Jones were on back projection so I'm guessing MR BK didn't know what was going to happen in front of him in the scene.

In the Manhattan School of Music season, there’s a musical listed named Paperboy with a score by Jim Wann and a book by Emily Loesser.

Sounds intriguing.

Looks a little like Boufos, the resident cat at the place I stayed on Kos.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Car repairs didn’t quite reach $1,000. Before taxes.

It is the first time in four years or so for any repairs.

The whole district needs to inventory all the items, so  a couple of us are going to this branch to help them, since they're one of the largest (and closest to where I work) branches.

We got here at 10:00, and we'll leave at 3:00 and go back to our building.

Oh, I guess I'm up. Had another rough night, but not too rough - up for a couple of hours - ultimately, I got at least seven hours, maybe a bit more.

Once up, it was one thing after another, mostly to do with preparing for tomorrow's shoot, making sure everyone had what they need to have.
