DR George you might find the article interesting.

The new restaurant in the building next to us had a soft opening tonight.  Yesterday I made reservations for us and another couple in our building.  I had to say where we live in order to get the reservations.

[Jane]

What I didn't know is that we would only be charged for our drinks.

[Jane]

Dinner was excellent and we plan to return.  The bar was also very good.

[Jane]

Our favorite waitress from Beaches looked very pretty in her new uniform and was happy to be working there.  She was also our waitress tonight.

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.

Yes I have, and theirs was one of overviews I skimmed through today.

Good night, friends.

Good evening.

I had a nice day in northern Arizona.

When I get angry at someone, I wiggle my left hand fingers at them. It doesn't mean anything to anyone else but me, so they don't know what I'm thinking. The wiggling represents rattling, like a rattlesnake. And offering your left hand is an insult in some cultures.

Back from a fun lunch meeting and then a brief sound meeting at the Group Rep.

Currently eighty-two degrees in the home environment - cooling down now.

I came across several very polite drivers today. People were good about letting me into traffic. Maybe that's because I wasn't in Phoenix most of the day.

I'd love to have a good restaurant in walking distance. It's open only for residents on a temporary basis or a permanent one?

Let us know how this works out. It's something that many of us should probably do, but haven't wanted to take the time and trouble.

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.

I couldn't see much when I opened it and found this article.

Very interesting.

I did!  Thanks for posting it, Jane.

I had no idea!  How was it?

I don't know how long it'll stay up, though.

Did a Ralph's run - just for beverages - three twelve-packs of Diet Coke and about twenty bottles of Sparkling Ice, twelve of which are my favorite flavor, Grape Raspberry. Another favorite, Lemon Lime, is rarely in stock - everyone must love that one - only one bottle. Thankfully, I found four bottles of Classic Lemonade.

I've been listening to and loving John Gay's The Beggar's Opera. I gather there are many versions including one adapted by Benjamin Britten. I've never heard a single version before and I am so loving the one I bought and so glad this is the one I took the chance on. It may not  be what Mr. Gay had in mind, but I absolutely love this with orchestrations by Douglas Gamley - it's like a classic cast album. And what a cast - Sutherland, Kiri Te Kanawa, Angela Lansbury, and more. The orchestrations are absolutely lush and fantastic.

Sounds like a recording to get, so I just ordered it.  I got a copy for $15 less than any other copy, but it's coming from England, so it'll take a month to get here...fine by me if it'll save $15.

 Well, 63% of stupid TV watchers in the Northwest don’t believe teachers and other school employees should be required to get the vaccine.

[TCB]

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°!

It only got up to 92 degrees in Puyallup today, but we are expecting a high of 101 degrees tomorrow.

WTF??

Plus, the smoke is suppose to get very thick tomorrow and Saturday.
