For the past few months- my clients have been paying me to go to
various stores to find paper towels for them. I guess I've become a
professional Bounty hunter.

My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
Another day of sun and warm weather. Storm coming this weekend, have
to enjoy this great weather while it lasts.
Space geeks win again. As many watched the descent of Mars
Perseverance to the surface of Mars everyone saw the oddly designed red and
white parachute. The next day, the geeks on earth decoded the binary code of
the parachute. It said: DARE MIGHTY THINGS.
Trying to get two scripts filled at Walgreens for pick up tomorrow.
One had 3 refills and the other needed a new script from my doctor. I called
the doctor to call it in. I then called in the other one. First text-message
was ‘there is an insurance problem’ and we will contact you. Second text-message
said ‘we have to order the prescription’. Third text-message said ‘you have zero
refills, should we call your physician’. I called to see what was going on.
They weren’t sure because both scripts were awaiting pick-up and covered by
insurance. Crazy!
