Hallo all:
dibnlib: I Googled Jane Alexander - she has her own vessel right? I read her report on a cruise up the coast from San Diego to San Francisco. I'll have to see if she has anything on YouTube. What's the new jigsaw?
Diane: I was awake at 3 a.m. this morning and went out to see if I could see any of the Geminids. A very clear sky with more stars that usual but after 40 minutes, no sign of anything. Not the best spot in our back garden. Some local astronomy buffs go up the hills behind town for a much wider view but I've not tried that yet.
AQ: Re neighbors, sometimes we'd be better off with 'seen and not heard' maxim applied to them. Your January schedule sounds like a pain- but we'll be here to cheer you through it. Hugs from California.
Heather: Sorry to hear that granddaughter is feeling discouraged. It's so hard when someone has a talent or passion for something only to find out jobs are scarce in the best of times and don't pay a lot anyway, even though they'd be happy just doing what they love. How old is she? Lindybird makes a good point about volunteering, but I imagine even those opportunities are somewhat limited at this point.
Lindybird: A plumbing success story in record time too. :-)
OG: Wonder what kind of side effects the stronger pain killers might have (apart from controlling the pain better). Seems like the anti-inflammatories were doing the trick though - or did I miss something.
Have annual check up with dermatologist so must hose down and tootle off.... Meanwhile, spacebar is behaving itself today.

Just saw latest numbers from CAL.
Apparently Aussies are interested in US election. Google searches on that topic have been higher than bushfires and corona. As well, our interest in US election was FIVE times higher than in our own election last year!!!
