Summer is certainly here. Much of the week was hot and sunny.



Sadly, there was a tragic accident with my iPad mini this week.

I looked at replacing it with a plain Kindle. But, the one with lights was surprisingly expensive. So, I bought an old one with less storage to replace it that was much, much cheaper than the original.

I’m not saying that putting this up in your office will get you laid off.

But, it does kind of show a pattern…

The place I work now moved into 3rd from last place in time I’ve worked there.



We got Chinese take out Friday. The turtle at the place was happy to see me.


Today we went off to the Cromptom Collective in Worcester.

They had old word processors…

I did buy some stuff.


The place we had planned for lunch was closed for summer vacation this week. So, my wife looked for another place.


We ended up at a Mexican place near there will very good food.

(The waitress was surprised we didn’t order burritos. I guess that’s what most people order…)

Then, back through Worcester to go home.
I still think the mall and parking garage that was here was destroyed by Godzilla.


Maybe that’s why they built the hospital over the train tracks. To bury Godzilla.

There is a big arts community in that part of the city.
Strage to me as when I lived in the city 20+ years ago, that was not the reputation that part of the city had...

No, not me. I was worried for a bit when my boss scheduled a 15 minute meeting with me on Friday. But, it was just to check on a budget.
Sorry I was not clear.

Yikes in the iPad.

I have a Kindle Paperwhite that I love. A few years old now, I think I paid less that $150 but it was a deal where I paid it in four payments with no interest and free shipping. It's been acting slow lately, so I wonder if it's starting to go. My original Kindle was many years old and still working when I got the new one, but I had to use a USB cable to get books. Download to my computer, then transfer.

So sorry about the iPad. That sucks. Glad you found a replacement.
