      Its part of my daily routine now.     
      On the rare occasion I can't make a daily entry, I have notes to recall   
   events of importance and do that later.    
      
   > I'm liking these 512Gb USBs my wife found on Amazon. . . :)    
      
     I use USB's for temporary storage usually.  Its too easy to accidentally   
   delete something.   
     I do a monthly burning to CDs and move everything from that USB to the HD   
   where I can get it from the trash should I mistakenly delete something.

     I've never worked for tips, but one year I worked as a bell ringer for   
   the Salvation Army, and glad to get that job.  (Long story).     
     I did things like greet people, open doors for the store I was outside   
   of, etc. and collected more than anyone else, simply by doing courteous little   
   things like that.  And no, I didn't work on a commission.  :)   
      
   > Sure did love that one summer day a year when the classic car club rolled in   
   with their beautiful cars from the days when style was a thing that mattered   
   in Detroit(& Windsor, on our side of the 49th)!   
      
     Those were the days.   
     I love old cars, up till about 1970, when the government started   
   "designing" cars (have to have this, not that, etc).   
     Back in the day you could tell one car from another without looking at   
   the badging like today.

   >     
   > My apology, I thoght West was south of Virginia itself. Or is this one of   
   those vagaries of the civil war era & politics?   
      
     West (by golly) Virginia was part of Virginia until 1863.  Richmond, the   
   capitol, paid little attention to this part of the state and for years   
   people wanted to break away and the Civil War provided that catalyst, since   
   Richmond was otherwise busy.  :)   
          
   > Yeah, I've notiuced that, but I've always been a rebel, so I even went on   
   Facebook, prior to our big national election this past Monday, & stated my   
   opinions on all 5 parties running.    
      
     My comments on FB are basically things like "Happy birthday" or happy   
   belated, or I agree, etc.   
     I'm only on FB a few minutes a day, sometimes not for days.  And the ones   
   I'm friends with are people I know.   
      
   >>    The same science that says men can have babies, etc?   
   >    
   > This is science now?! Not the science I've read.   
      
      Ditto.   
       
   > The only objective fact in determining a person's rightful sex is the XY   
   chromie that is in EVERY cell of your body.   
      
      Until "science" is able to change one's chromosomes I still think of the   
   person as whatever sex they were born, no matter much they think they are   
   the opposite and play dress up.
