Barney Google

 


"Barney Google" has made some changes to the operating system on my phone. I should let them know I'd be happy to be a Beta tester when they decide to upgrade things that work perfectly fine. I often wonder if anyone requests these things or the computer geeks just do some of this just because they can, or as a way to justify their jobs.


And one more shot at the way the feds are treating the hurricane victims. Ain't nothing like kicking them when they're down.

December 7th today. Not only the anniversary of the "Day That Will Live in Infamy", but also the last day of the annual Medicare sign-up season. There probably aren't too many left alive that remember the attack on Pearl Harbor firsthand, but all of us should never forget. Cousin Ricky and I are going to try and get to Hawaii this year. I need to get there to complete my quest to visit all 50 states. Ricky was in Hawaii while in the service but only for a layover on his way to Vietnam. Both of us want to visit Pearl Harbor and see some hula dancers in grass skirts.

As for the end of the Medicare sign-up, that will eliminate the annoying phone calls, advertisements and commercials. Most of the time the calls don't start coming in until after 8:00 AM but they continue into the evening hours. And the beautiful thing about it, the government gave them my number. Trump's going to have a hard time making America great again but I have no doubt he won't let people suffer after a natural disaster. As for the phone calls, it's good to remember the difference between an annoyance and a problem. 

Give a little something if you can. We're all in this together.
