What I don't get is there were lots of guns in the US 50 years ago. Where there anywhere near the number of mass shootings? Maybe that's a question the media should be looking at?

Was out in the yard a minute ago, heard a loud aircraft overhead.  Figured it might be an A380 or possibly 330, they're loud.  I looked up, and it was a large jet escorted by two fighters.

Went on flight radar dot com, and discovered it was a Royal Air Force A330, probably heading to NYC.

Apparently, I set up my mortgage payment for bi-weekly instead of semi-monthy. Well, that was a bit of a surprise this month.  :banghead:

I was arranging meeting someone for lunch tomorrow. She wanted to make sure I knew the location of the restaurant:

"Do you know where you're going?"
"That's an existential question. Do any of us really know?"
"This is why you only get first dates."

Not sure when Microsoft Word started doing this.  Being stuck at home along with the kids, I figure I would load some software on my laptop that I bought in early September. 

Used to be to open a PDF, you would need Adobe Reader.  And to edit it, you would need the Professional version.  After installing the new Office, I clicked on a PDF, it converted it to a doc file, and now it can be edited.  Sweet!

I suspect previously I had Adobe Reader installed already, and it would open the pdf by default.  If I wanted to edit it, I would use the other computer that has Professional on it.  Guess I didn't know Word had the ability.  Don't think I need Adobe Reader now...
