WORLD
*I've been putting off mailing postcards to people around the world as a
member of postcrossing.com. So, today or tomorrow, I'll go to the web site
and the site will generate about 5 different addresses for me and I'll choose 5
postcards, write in a message and place them in an envelope with an
international stamp and mail them. I, also, scan the postcards so I can upload
the postcards to the postcrossing web site and to Facebook.
As you'll read later in this story of today that Bill and I went to Ashland, Ohio
and we stopped at a service station just to see if they had some postcards. They
did have postcards to my surprise. Businesses don't usually sell postcards
anymore, but I found 7 different ones at 39 cents apiece. I remembered
recently that there might be some postcards for sale at the bookstore and at
City News in downtown Wooster. As a last resort, I can ordered postcards
online like I've done before, but they are much more expensive.

Google. Are you getting lazy? You searched only 23 sources?
HEALTH
*I am going to have to fill my pill boxes today. This is always a pain in the arse
to me. I have a box for morning prescription medications, a box for morning
supplements which are mostly for my prostrate and a pill box for the evening
which only contains Depakote and Saraquill which you know I call Drop-a-coat
and Sara Palin. In this evening pill box I'm going to include that "Miracle Pill of
the Century", turmeric curcumin, that I typed about several days ago instead of
working out of a separate bottle.
And I've made up my mind to stop eating sugar except for the natural sugar I
get from fruits that I eat from my mini-refrigerator. If I could cut out sugar and
loose some weight, I believe that I could stop taking some of the prescription
medications I'm taking.
I know what you're thinking. No, I'm not going to tell you how much I weigh,
don't even ask. But I will give you a slight hint. It's a 3 digit number. You can
now pick between 100 and 999.
*2.8 million people worldwide die each for being overweight or obese.
So, I'm overweight and I smoke. So now, if I die before the statistics change
I'll be one of the 7.8 million (5,000,00 from smoking from yesterday's story and
2,800,000 from above) to die worldwide.
*I told you all before that Bill, whose family abandoned him maybe 30 years
and he has lived with us since then. He has COPD and we're going to DASCO
in Ashland, Ohio to exchange his empty bottles of oxygen for full ones. We
should be leaving shortly after I take the empty bottles to his truck (9:34 AM
12/22/2016 EDT).
Just arrived back at the house (12:12 PM 12/22/2016 EDT). The drive to and from
Ashland reminds me of Mother and Aunt Bea. There are plenty of farmlands,
old farmhouses, and other houses that are two-story, made of brick or just clap-
board with attics above that Mother always enjoyed. Aunt Bea liked barns that
were kept up in repair and was disheartened when barns were falling in on
themselves or just a bank to a barn that was missing. Two small towns named
Rowsburg and New Pittsburg remind me of Mount Sidney in Virginia except
no post offices or gas stations between them. On this U.S. Route 250 there
were plenty of road signs for Mother to read. Deer crossings, watch out for
horse and buggy's, steep incline, curves to the right or left or just before going
over hill a warning sign of a possible school bus stopping.

Yesterday was the shortest day of the year. I sure grateful that we're going to
experience more daylight. If had built in sonar (called 'echolocation), like a bat
I wouldn't mind it so much because I could navigate in the dark. The old saying,
"blind as a bat" is dead wrong because they can see almost as well as us
humans, but rely on their hearing (echolocation) to move about.
We'll get a one minute addition to daylight at sunset until around
January 7, 2017 and then we'll tack on a minute of daylight at sunset and sunrise.
That ain't much, but it will be more than we had and I'm sure thankful for that.
I just got back (8:12 AM 12/22/2016 EDT) from taking outgoing letters to the
mailbox. My weather gauge presented a temperature of 33° which is suppose
to be a high for today, the humidity is 73% and the wind is blowing in from the
west at about 5 mph. That's an unusual direction for the wind. It usually blows
in from the south or southeast. Using the online calculators at http://www.
dpcalc.org and http://www.onlineconversion.com., I get a wind chill of 28.25°
and a dew point of 25%.
I getting hungry so I thought about a jumbo squid, chopped clams or a chub
mackerel sandwich, but the squid is too tough for me without my false teeth
installed, the clams are wrapped in paper in the can and the mackerel was
nasty tasting the last time I tried it, so I'm just going to have my old faithful,
Orleans sardines.
I just checked the weather gauge again and it seems that it might be broken,
maybe because of the ice which still has not entirely melted.
I just saw a news item that said the temperatures at the North Pole may be
above freezing and more melting than normal would occur. It ain't melting
much here yet. Maybe I out to drive 62 hours and 3,791.0 miles to the North
Pole so I can warm up? I've driven the 29 hours and 2,076.3 miles to Las Vegas
so I ought to be able to do that.
