And I asked BK query.
What would be your ideal way to make a movie of the Benjamin Kritzer books? Would you like one movie per book or would you like to do a mini series of each book? Or combine the three books into one long series?

Today is Wednesday.

I knew it immediately upon awakening.

I have a haircut appointment at 11 a.m. in Edgefield.

After it, I "may" drive over to Aiken and visit Sam's Club again.

I have often wondered how Edgefield got its name.

Was it originally a trading goods shop set up at the edge of a big field?  I do not know.

There is a very lengthy and interesting wikipedia entry on Edgefield recounting its long history.  I guess it's most notable today for having been the birthplace and death place of Senator Strom Thurmond who, having served 48 years in Congress as a Democrat, a Dixiecrat and a Republican, is the only man to have reached the age of 100 while in office.

This morning has not been easy. Annabelle would not eat, then spent the entire time I was cleaning the litter wailing at me. I don't know if she's hungry, angry or sick, but all three worry me.

That's it.  That's all I know about Edgefield.

Well, that...and the fact that it has a rather violent past with many bloody deaths taking place within the county and even upon the steps of the courthouse.

Sometimes, cats lose their sense of smell for a short time.  If you were to put food in her mouth, her sense of taste might still be all right and she might eat.

Much easier to just put some on her nose, which she'll lick off, with hopefully that result. I've had to do this with our cats a few times, notably with Mikey when he's letting us know that he doesn't approve of what he has been served.

Okay, I went back to SoundCloud and got a free account set up. The free one provides up to 3 hours worth of content, or 4 GB in total size, I guess whichever limit you hit first. That should be more than plenty for the likes of moi.

Here’s the other. I broiled them instead of grilling.

Wednesday morning greetings!

Did DR Ginny and Richard get home safely?

We did, indeed, DR Elmore, but it was an adventure.  We left Charlotte’s house in a snow shower that quickly developed into serious snowfall.  We visited a Honda dealership in NW Indiana for new wiper blades and the weather conditions improved significantly during that stop.

After moving in, getting settled, and having a nice dinner; I kind of fell asleep for the evening.

I can imagine it all tired you out.

Jane, my phone works because I pay $20.00 per month for the privilege.  My phone has internet abilities, but only if I connect up to WIFI.  I don’t know how your phone works, or why I can’t use Bluetooth to get online.

I don't understand it either.  I just know if I have cell service & usually can also connect to the internet.  I haven't figured out why my iPhone & Samsung tablet no longer connect by bluetooth.  Fortunately I can connect to Keith's Samsung phone so I haven't researched this recent problem.
