Saw the first cicada today. This is the 17-year brood, but a few are coming out a year early. Next year the bulk of them will emerge and the racket will be tremendous.
Received a text from a former co-worker. She was the person who convinced me to join a lawsuit against Megacorp. Her concern about any settlement was she wasn't highly compensated during her Megacorp years and many of the participants were.
She received a six figure settlement offer this morning. She didn't think she had lost nearly that much. Some of the award was from the loss of the assets since 2016.
I am very happy for her, she's thinking she might be able to retire because of the settlement. I know I had a six figure loss and an happily waiting for an offer on funds I had written off.
Today I finally convinced my DW that we should cancel the Houston Chronicle newspaper after 25 years of deliveries (well, most of them got delivered).
Similar story here. After 40 years of getting the local rag delivered, we finally got fed up with the service (and the price) and switched to reading it on the iPad. We get the exact same newspaper, page for page, as a pdf, and the subscription ($10/month) can be shared. So DW and I each have our own copy on our own iPad. I still think it's a lousy newspaper, but it's the only way to sort of keep up with what's going on locally. Your paper probably offers the same option, so you might look into it.
I guess that is the reason I like it. especially like the political cartoons.It's not a great paper and has gotten worse over the years. Most people around here call it the "liberal rag".

I helped my two sons move into their apartment. And when we finished the texted me saying they loved and appreciated me. ����
Never get tired of hearing that.
And as an added bonus, I never again have to see/deal with certain unmentionable cow-workers.
Congrats, Calico! Love it when a plan comes together!
I’m sure this was a simple typo, but it made me laugh out loud.
Picked some blueberries, now enjoying coffee on the sunny deck with a cool breeze this morning, reading the forum.
What a perfect retirement moment
