We are just going back and forth around here. One day it's 85F (29C) and the next it's 65F (18C). What the heck? Well, soon enough it will be just HOT so I guess this is ok. We did have a hot day a couple of weeks ago and discovered that the a/c in the car was dead. We took it to someone last year and they tried 3 times to fix it; well, I'm done with them and took it to another shop this time. We'll see if they have managed to fix it. They charged us an arm-and-a-leg so it had better be good for a long time!
I was supposed to get an MRI to check out my spine but it turns out my insurance isn't approved by the MRI folks. Well, I guess I should have just offered to pay for it myself but I didn't think of that. So now my wife has been on the phone all morning trying to get the thing re-scheduled but between the MRI place and the doctor's office she'd been on hold for two hours! Jeez, what a bunch of idiots! And they are supposed to be keeping us healthy? Can't they afford one or two more clerks to keep things moving? Bah, humbug!
A couple of days ago I did get to meet the guy who bought the house kinda across from us. He's from California and is hoping to retire here later this year. He was pretty happy about not having any state income tax here. Just checking the internet suggests he could be paying 8-9% so I can see where 0% in Nevada sounds pretty good! Right now he is coming over for a day every couple of weeks; I hope he grows to enjoy being out here in nowhereland.
We just went out to lunch in one of our casino restaurants. I just don't understand people who sit there in the casino playing what are really just video games. This a pretty small casino but there were maybe 20 people sitting there glued to their machines and another 10 who were holding down chairs in the bar with a beer for companionship. I mean, I'm retired and don't have a job to go to but why on earth would I be spending my days in that dark room with a video game? Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'm not the person those casino's are wanting but they do work ok for lunch.
We did manage a nice sunset the other day. I liked the clouds so much I took two photos!
That's all the news that's fit to print. Take care & keep washing those hands!
