Got the fireplace fixed
Will help us stay warm & cozy during the deep freeze that will be here for the next few days.
Momentary focus of a random thought that peaked my attention
Or to put it more accurately, Dell told an irate customer on Monday that they “regret the inconvenience” caused by selling to the public for years a number of products that the intelligence community has been able to fully compromise in complete silence up until this week.
Illinois toll roads rates
I was figuring the toll rates for some customer locations this afternoon. I got to one location in the Chicago area that should not have incurred any tolls. The Illinois tollway system didn’t seem to like that very well. https://www.illinoisvirtualtollway.com/?ContentPane=tripcalculator
When I put in the starting & ending points, and hit “Get Route” it routed me to the next exit, turned me around and rerouted me using toll routes (and added additional miles to boot).
Save the environment, reduce emissions, car pool, blah blah blah. Just don’t think about shorting them the monies that they extort from the motoring public.
Won’t do that again
My wife told me that we were out of soap for the dishwasher last weekend. I wasn’t planning on going to the store anytime soon so I just made a mental note. I went to put something in the dishwasher a while later and noticed it was getting pretty full. I looked under the sink and found a nearly full bottle of dishsoap. Soap is soap, as long as the dishes get clean, right?
Umm yeah. Won’t do that again.
