Macular degeneration

Anybody else?
Mine is progressing rapidly.
Typing is a chore.
Reading is difficult.
I'm using a 24" TV for a monitor and still have to use a Fresnel lerns to see the text.
Bummer.
Oh yeah, lots of typos.

For better cooking videos...

I'm looking at YOU, youtube.
I don't need to watch you break 10 eggs for a frittata.
I know how to break eggs.

I don't need to watch you peel 6 potatoes.
I know how to peel a spud.
Even if I didn't, one example would be plenty.

Oh, you're only using egg yolks?
I don't need to watch you separate them all.

Please.
Keep it short and leave out all the repetitive fill just to make your video run 30 minutes.
One of the best ones I've seen was 3 minutes.

Thank you.

I like to mess with my doctors.

You know how a nurse will take you back to the a little examining room and tell you that the doctor will be with you shortly?

And when the doctor finally comes they knock on the door before immediately opening it?

Next time say "Who is it?"

Our town put street decorations up 2 weeks ago.

So I guess we now have no chief executive?

It's not like we ever in the last 4 years really did, but now...
It looks like he's just hunkered in the bunker and being egged on and enabled by Giuliani et al.

I'm hoping he will just say "Fuck it" and go play golf at Mar A Lago.
He never really wanted the JOB.
He just wanted the publicity.

I am really depressed that apparently 48% of voters wanted the son-of-a-bitch back for four more years of misery.

Our country is truly fucked.

Happy trails
