I got the tour application in the mail. I'm going to Italy. I also got Silver Belle back, but the hands free feature still doesn't work. I'm going to give them one more chance, and then I'm taking it elsewhere. I'll contact the warranty company to see if they'll waive the deductible.

I hope you have better luck getting your car fixed next time.

I think the builder had somewhere he had to be. When they were working here in the fall they put in long days.

That's pretty good for a day's work. Most construction people work a LOT more slowly.

They also took the siding off the house, Shoveled the snow off the tarp and removed the tarp before starting the walls.

They got one end wall up and braced. The other end wall is almost ready to stand and brace also.

I could use some mixing ideas when you mixing folks get here. I came up with a couple ideas but need more.

TOBACCO CONTROL // The WHO vs the SCIENCE

"Three studies on metal biomarkers found NO statistically significant difference" between vapers & non-users, suggesting that "inhaled metal content under normal vaping conditions does NOT seem be of concern at least for acute exposure."

A Critical Review of Recent Literature on Metal Contents in E-Cigarette Aerosol

The inhalation of metallic compounds in e-cigarette (EC) aerosol emissions presents legitimate concerns of potential harms for users. We provide a critical review of laboratory studies published after 2017 on metal contents in EC aerosol, focusing on the consistency between their experimental...

What I don't understand is why this got scheduled when the weather is still bad. Why not wait for better weather?

I really have no idea. The temps didn't bother them much. They were in short sleeves before they left. But rain is a different thing.

I go to my primary care MD this morning
for a 6-month check-up check-in.

The assistant (or whatever the proper
term is) asks all the usual questions and
does BP and oxygen checks. Then she
asks: "What are your pronouns"?

!!!

I felt like...

:: un-zzzzzip ::
:: haul out ::

...and then saying "HERE is my pronoun".

Is this really REALLY where we are now in life???

"What is your pronoun" becomes a question at
the doctor's office?!?!

STUFF just becomes worse and worse as time
goes on. I really do not know how much MORE
of this STUFF I can take before simply snapping.

My doctor ABSOLUTELY KNOWS what my "pronoun"
is... unless he's totally and completely blind.

STOP IT! Just STOP this insanity.

Anyway... "fine for now" pending a couple tests.

That's just crazy.

CONNECTICUT // FLAVOR BAN UPDATE!

The ill-advised flavor ban has been officially scrapped (for now) in favor of increasing MSA funds going to smoking cessation/prevention, and a working group to evaluate taxes, licensing fees and enforcement penalties.

Flavored Nicotine Ban Stalls in Public Health | CT News Junkie

A proposal to ban the sale of flavored tobacco and vape products in Connecticut won’t advance this year after the Public Health Committee stripped the legislation on Monday and used it as a vehicle to boost funding for tobacco cessation programs.

I'm going to have to curb my purchases from here on. I've filled out the application and wrote a check (yes, i still have those) to the travel company. I have half the cost now and will need to save up the rest. As soon as I get Silver Belle back, I'll take the application and check to the post office. The Ford house wasn't able to fix the issue. I'm getting frustrated.
