I really want to see Tintin and the Colour Out of Space, myself. Ask and you shall receive, effendi!  It's everything I hoped it would be. |

I always stay away from these online things . I think it's a scam to steal your info. I did them back in the day through a group called Acorn Research. It's not a scam because they outright tell you that you are getting paid for them to use any information about you that they please. Twenty years ago, it paid $5 per 20 minute survey, but you only got 2-4 a week. Ultimately, it just wasn't worth my time, but it wasn't a scam. |

Until today, I had not seen fire engines of this colour:

This is a great picture, and I think it’s cool that the United States has something called the Park Police:

Until today, I had not seen fire engines of this colour: They look like something out of Power Rangers/Super Sentai, particularly Lightspeed Rescue/Go Go V

In Driver's case it seems they are good at finding ways not to pay him, which feels like a warning signal. |

For a while NY had Fire trucks painted in a light green. It didn't stick. |

This Tuesday I was off from my job when my wife called me to tell me that our daughter in law had the covid. She has custody of our 4 year old grandson and there was no one to care for him . My son has work hours that makes it difficult to be with him. I asked my job if the vacation week was available and I was able to pick him up from Pennsylvania to care for him while she got better. It's a lot of work , but he's the joy of my life.

We are lucky. We get to watch our 2 grandaughters at least one day a week. I remember the old saying "If I knew having grandkids was so great I would have skipped having children".
