My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
High clouds
are blocking the sun. Weather guy says no moisture, just wind.
I made my
motel reservations in Denver for my trip to Tahiti. I may have to rent a car to
be able to get the necessary covid test. Glad I’m coming in at night, so I have
until 3p the next day to get the test.
My cable
provider is driving me crazy. I can only get CNN for a couple of yours each
day. Every time I call I get a different story. Yesterday’s tech guy said that
since I am such a good customer, they will come out and replace all my equipment,
at no charge. I have not had a good experience with their tech support guys who
show up. I said I would wait until I return from an upcoming trip to do that.
Frustrated. It was reported that a journalist was killed and another one was
injured.
Russia just
keeps moving closer and closer to war, now attacking near the Poland (NATO)
border. I hope this doesn’t mess up our trip.
