Then And Now

From twitter:

That CNN story? Link here.

All is well in the neighborhood: Tim Hanks and wife Rita are safely back in the neighborhood.

Security check: I will be very, very disappointed - on so many levels if the US provides Secret Service protection to the couple formerly known as the "Sussex Royals."

iPhone problem: I noticed over the last couple of days my iPhone was not charging or, better said, charging erratically. I asked an expert -- well, several experts -- Sophia's sisters and her dad -- they said that lint builds up in the iPhone charging "receptacle." The experts had the same problem. Taking it to the Apple Store the "expert" there pulled out a special tool to clean out the lint, and it solved the problem. I asked, "perhaps that simple tool was a paper clip?" LOL.

By the way: a paperclip (non-conducting) solved the problem. About a year ago I also figured out that a paper clip was as good as the "special tool" required to pop off plastic dome light covers to replace burned out light bulbs. Priceless. 

New adage: if you can't find your answer to any question on the internet (to include YouTube), you have not searched hard enough.

Similar to what they teach at Harvard medical school: if a physician can't find anything wrong with you, your physician has not looked hard enough.

My dad's favorite adage: if you can't find it at Walmart, you don't need it.
