  1. 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.
  2. I just got home from having a western omelette at the world-famous Gene's Restaurant:
  3. 3.199 today in Chester.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
  6. A nice piece of this carrot cake:
  7. 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.
  8. I just finished an Arby's Greek Gyro, very good it was.
  9. 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.
  10. Balls? OK, here they are:
  11. 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!
  12. 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.
  13. Down to 2.849 this morning!
  14. Three Little Debbie Oatmeal Raisin cookies, in fact swallowing the last as I type this!
  15. tedt I wonder if any of them would know how to use one of these:
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Seeing this fifty-plus year old ex-Southern Pacific SD40T-2 "tunnel motor" (red IORY 4071) in South Charleston, Ohio last November:
  19. 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.".
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. I like the New Zealand one the best, the Kings has the merest hint of a smile.
  24. $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.
