Interesting about the difference in the two cards' renewal systems. When my SC drivers' license was about to expire, the state sent an email with a link to their website for on-line renewal. I checked and qualified for on-line (even got the gold star*); in the letter accompanying the license was a statement that the next renewal would have to be in person for an updated eye exam. * Real ID. On a different level and what I was originally going to post; I had an FY moment today. I went to donate blood but my veins were too small to accept the needle. The solution for next time? Drink lots of water during the week before the donation.

I, too, love breakfast foods anytime; especially western omelettes! There is a diner near where a friend lives in Ellicott City, MD that has great ones and I usually get one for dinner rather than a dinner entree.

Or the 286.

I can remember when the red mickeys replaced the old, original style "Golden Arches". I recall them announcing that all of the originals had finally been remodeled. Wrong, they missed one in East Cleveland!

Gassed up in Rock Hill this morning (12mar24) at 2.979/gal; oddly the last time that I filled up was at the same station exactly one month ago, 12feb24. The local price here (Chester) is 3.099/gal this morning.

It is working fine and is faster than the old 8.1 box. This one is a desktop. the old one was an all-in-one.

Having been railfanning (trainspotting?) for a long time, tonight was a first for me. The flashers at the CSX-J. A. Cochran Bypass crossing were flashing and the gates were down with nothing in sight. After a moment or so I heard a strange single-note air horn blowing for the crossing. A Sperry Rail Detector car slowly crossed the road. In all the years this was a first for me!

Gassed up in Rock Hill this morning (12feb24) at 2.769/gal; oddly the last time that I filled up was at the same station exactly one month ago, 12jan24 and the total gas pumped was only about 0.3/ gal different.

Down to 2.849 this morning!

Three Little Debbie Oatmeal Raisin cookies, in fact swallowing the last as I type this!

Soon to be consumed, some meatballs with either Brussels sprouts or broccoli. Hmmm, maybe both?? EDIT: It turned out to be meatballs and frijoles negros instead.

Getting my new computer up and running but not able to post a photo on one of the sites that I visit but the same photo posts on several other fora; including this forum: It must be something with that one forum, I will contact them about it. EDIT: The phone is from a radio station dj's console, it flashes rather than rings.

Seeing this fifty-plus year old ex-Southern Pacific SD40T-2 "tunnel motor" (red IORY 4071) in South Charleston, Ohio last November:

The mis-routing of packages mentioned above reminded me of an early jet-age joke that I remember reading somewhere: "Breakfast in London, lunch over New York, dinner in San Francisco, baggage in Rio de Janero.".

I have not written a check (cheque - if you are Canadian) in about ten years; my bank has a service that does it now for me.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, today at 1317 I powered up my newly-built Win-11 confuser, er, computer for the first time. Wish my luck, my old 2014 Win-8.1 machine lasted a good, long time.

I just noticed yesterday that the price here in Chester went up ten cents since Sunday; from 2.899 to 2.999 after being quite stable at 2.899 for almost a month.

I like the New Zealand one the best, the Kings has the merest hint of a smile.

$2.599 in Rock Hill at the QT yesterday, still $2.899 here in Chester. Saving $0.30 a gallon made the trip especially well worthwhile as I was going there anyway.
