Weekend Update

We made our usual Sunday run to Target today. We've been getting four dinners a week from HelloFresh, but let's face it, we still need lunch and incidentals.

The store was abysmal, although not as picked over as it seemed a week ago. Still no paper products, but that was expected. We're still in good shape as far as toilet paper is concerned, and I was able to order paper towels off Amazon (even if they're not arriving until week after next) so there's that. We were able to get everything else on the list.

The one thing that stood out, however, was the fact that no one (except Ben and I) seemed to be observing the six-foot rule. Idiots, the lot of 'em.

We did some purging around the house yesterday, making a run to our meager storage unit in the process.  I wanted to find the bungee cords I knew were in a box as well as retrieve a tub of my dad's architectural drafting paraphernalia that my sister had given me shortly after his passing. It had been my intent all these years to select a few of the pieces and make a shadow box to honor his legacy.

It took seven years, but after several hours' work today, that intent finally became reality.


On another front, I finally got the door locks on Rabbit to automatically lock when driving away. This was a standard setting on Anderson, and I noticed it wasn't happening with Rabbit, so I had to dig into the Owner's Manual to find out where that setting was hiding. I also discovered this morning that our local FM NPR station (KJZZ) also transmits on two separate channels in HD. One's for news only, and one's for all-day jazz, and I can easily switch between the two. This makes me happy since there is a dearth of decent radio in Phoenix.

  1. Impressive work on your Dad's shadow box. Glad you & Ben are safe & healthy. And thanks [again] for the pretty pictures — all of them: the Daily UNF, the occasional scenic Arizona tours, etc. You, and my other imaginary Internet friends, are more important now than before. Thank you!

    1. "Imaginary?"

      I think the word you were searching for is "vicarious." 🙂
