    GR6, 1) MRI has not been done, scheduling one is a pain.
    2) Your example of Apple map correction, good example of their level of customer service. You might think that for their premium prices and design expertise they could deliver a decent map, an Apple self driving car could be an adventure.

    Yeah, I’d as soon ride in an Apple self-flying airplane.

    Debbe 😉 Decided another shot of Kenny might be in order. Also, I believe Anonie was thinking about this song recently. Also thought you might identify with it, from back in the day. 🙂

    Ghost I suspect you qualify for the position. Always armed.

    My favorite Kenny song. Hillbilly rock star out of control.

    Anonymous, a town where the thugs are going into restaurants and robbing staff and guests during business hours is nowhere I want to visit. The astronomical crime rate there now is the main reason I didn’t take the Amtrak southern route for vacation last year. I would have had to stay overnight in New Orleans before the west-bound train continued on to California.

    sandcastler ™ and Ghost, considering the abysmal failure of Apple’s first map service when they booted Google Maps from their devices, I would trust them less than others.

    Perhaps I should watch a little news? You mean it is worse than when I had to step over corpses in Quarter on way home, have police chases through our yard, have a kidnapping, slashed that and car wreck in front of me in car in front of house? Etc, etc, etc as the King sang in Siam.

    Nostalgia may have really hit now.

    Oklahoma needs to be cold and I need to spend some time here. I also seem to have an obsession with sweaters, if not coats, and capes, shawls and fluffy scarves. I am sorting clothes a La Janis.
    These are all new, not old outfits. I look like I am getting ready for Rush Week.

    Miss Charlotte, the hair is natural. My hairdressers say that mine is the hot color everyone tries to dye for, Ash blonde with lots of high lights. They said I was blessed with this hair which is possible. No one else in family has it.

    Yep. I carry a gun because I can’t carry a cop. But more important is good situational awareness and using good judgment. “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” “Little that is good happens away from home after 10 PM.”

    My P&P hair stylist thinks my hair is sexy. Yes, saw her today, about four weeks later than usual, told her any longer and I was going to be considering a man bun. Her weight loss has made her look very trim and fit in her skin-tight spandex britches, the down side being she has lost a cup-size as well, but regained some pertness, still more than capable of putting on a show in a low-cut top. It was a fun time.

    Good morning Villagers…..

    Need to fix breakfast and my lunch….for breakfast I have generic peanut butter with generic seedless blackberry jam with a real banana 🙂

    Had a trains wreck at work yesterday…had to replace one 82 feet section of canvass belt, I played the seamstress while Mikey and Andrew watched.

    Taking tomorrow off, four weekends in a row is enough for me (my choice). Besides, I need to Nancy Nurse this upper respiratory infection that is going around at work….my doctor phoned in a Z pac (anitbiotic) and some cough syrup (wheee). Will probably be doing a lot of sleeping from the meds.

    Sandcastler, you are most welcome….I too enjoy Mr. Browne’s piano music. I think at one time didn’t he collaborate with Elton John on some songs….must research. Glad Loon is have relative come to visit…wish I could be a Russian mouse at your house 🙂 Just how much Russian do you know?

    ….ya’ll have a blessed Payday

    GR 😉 don’t listen much to CW. was singing Cocker’s “She came in through the bathroom window” yesterday, and told Mikey that Joe Cocker died this year…..he’s 33 years old and had never heard of Joe Cocker…..for shame. But the same could be said about me and some of the CW singers. I do like some of it though…like classic Willie and the other boys…..

    Here’s something different from Cash…..and the group Nine Inch Nails….different

    Jerry, did you read BCN’s Halloween Special……she’s a great story teller, it’s on her website. The strips on GoComics are running about 6 months behind when they picked up BCN.

    Give Tippy an ear rub for me……

    Debbe, enjoy a well deserved long weekend off. As a gift, I will allow you an extra hour off, this is just a once a year offer. 😉 (where are the emoji? )

    It’s Slovak. I know just enough to be dangerous, and likely get my ass kicked if I was traveling solo.
