A Request For Help From Readers -- December 29, 2021

Can any reader remember if any major US airport has ever been shut down, not because of weather or terrorism, but because not enough workers showed up for work?

DFW (Dallas-Ft Worth International Airport) has just been closed to all incoming flights because there are not enough workers

I have not fact-checked this, but I have that from a very, very reliable source. Local news. 

Following this story: all liquor stores in the DFW area will be closed this Saturday and Sunday. 

Boy Scouts: be prepared.

Product Placement

Apple iPad: it just works. 

I was challenged with another "tech" problem earlier today; the iPad solved it for me. It just worked for me. It did what I wanted it to do. Didn't need a manual. Intuitive.

Sometimes I think Apple is transferring all its software folks to mobile and letting desktops twist in the wind. 

The iPad: it just works.

Alamo Bowl Tonight

Oklahoma vs Oregon.

Wow.

Sophia is with her family on the famed River Walk in San Antonio this week /weekend. 

Long story. But that's where Sophia and Corky are tonight.

Off The Net In A Few Minutes

Bike ride before it gets too dark to pick up a rotisserie chicken for dinner, and I bet it's less expensive than a frozen "organic young chicken" in the back of the store.

*****************************
Local Covid

This is great! Adult daughter -- ph.d. in nursing -- shows up for work today -- one of the employees tested positive for Covid -- the whole staff is off for the next ten days! 

Not exactly "off" -- they will work from home, but that's as good as being off in my book.

Long live Covid-19. More family time. Wow, what a great country. And 80-degree weather -- until winter hits this weekend for a couple of days.

Turn Up The Volume

Take On Me, A-Ha
