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.

TOD:

I think I mentioned my experience at WalMart at the beginning summer.....

Many many years ago, my friends and I were attending a production of 42nd Street at the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre....and it was about as expected.  I was talking to my friends and mentioned that the song "There's A Sunny Side To Every Situation" seemed to have been cut.

One of the young waitresses interrupted me and told me that NO songs had been cut from the production....it was complete.....  I said no, a song is missing.  She continued to argue with me - maybe it was the party line they were instructed to go by.  Finally I just said in my best BK Voice:  "When we did it in New York, there was another song."

She walked away.

We're under three (count 'em) heat advisories/watches/warnings.

It's supposed to be 90 by noon and 96 by 3 pm.

It's 84°F right now on Tumwater, and is supposed to get up to a high of 97°!

I got a notice that my copy of the Pennebaker Company documentary Blu Ray has shipped from Criterion.

I thought I had ordered it, but I can't find an e-mail or any info on Criterion's or Amazon's sites that I did. :-\ WTH??

I thought I had ordered it, too, but I hadn't. I just ordered it. My goddaughter's mother is in the purple dress.

Today was intended as a quiet, relaxing day. The first irritant was the too-early call from a  telemarketer. A polite voice with an Indian accent who said he was calling from the orthopedic center. Had I let him continue I know he would have asked about the pain in my knees. My knees have no pain. In fact, they are one of the few areas of my body that do not. They assume that most people have arthritic knees and thus begins their sales pitch. I hung up. But it frosts me that people do this.

I won't go on about the washer that shuts itself off with a full load of wet clothes/towels/sheets or the other irritating telemarketing call. Somehow the laundry got done and I had a reasonably productive day.

But irritants? They ABOUND!

The cat tree has become Thatch's new hangout. Whenever I can't find him, he's usually sleeping inside this little hut these days.

Cute photo.

I need to research cable modems and routers. We've decided to quit paying the monthly charge to use Comcast's and invest in something of better quality that will give stronger reception throughout the house. I just wish I knew someone who's an expert at this stuff who could shortcut this.

Do you ever check the NY Times' Wirecutter? They give fairly thorough reviews of all sorts of things.

Thursday morning greetings!  The work continues on our basement.  They’re supposed to finish tomorrow, but Richard and I have our doubts.

Basement vibes -- and patience -- to DR Ginny and Richard.

From TCB:

Especially with hospital workers.  If I am very ill from Co-vid, and have to go the hospital, I certainly want to know that the staff is vaccinated!

True.  And if I have to go into the hospital for something else I want to reduce my chances of the staff giving me covid.

Yes, everyone is assuming that the visitors bring it in, but the staff or patients could be spreading it as well.

A very interesting interview in the NY Times with a doctor who has much insight into vaccines:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/12/opinion/sway-kara-swisher-patrick-soon-shiong.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage

The topic of vaccines starts at 27:09.

TOD:
When I was in my twenties I flipped someone the bird in traffic and the guy came after me. I had to do some fancy footwork -- in my car -- to lose him. I am careful now to keep my hand where they cannot see it. Too many people are full of stress or rage and ready to come loose at any provocation. I find that the best way to deal with stress in traffic is to allow plenty of time. That doesn't guarantee an absence of stress, but it does help to reduce it.

Either a patient or a staff worker began the spread of covid at our local hospital.  Spread it did.  My endoscopy is at the out patient surgery across the street from the hospital.
