Man, I'm expecting an Amazon order today, and I can't check the tracking to see if it was delivered yet or not. (It's being delivered to a locker).

Ugh

When you see a building as old as Notre Dame, or older, it can leave a lasting impression on you, at least for me it has. I know it's a church, and I know how some people feel about religion, but I'm not talking about religion, I'm talking about architecture.

Notre Dame is burning? I don't know how to even react to this, except to say that, at least I got to see it once in my life, back when I was in college. I recently even found my school assignment from that trip.

I really miss my uncle and my dad, heck I still really miss my best friend. All three of them are named Michael. That name has been very significant in my life. Kinda odd when I think about it.

I still have some pain in my foot now and then, but it’s nothing compared to the pain after I broke it, or the blood clot even. Time and medication made me forget how much it really hurt, and I am glad. I don’t want to remember. If you can stand and walk, don’t take that for granted.

Oh yes, a beach breeze. Excellent!

These events we get to participate in are a lot of fun, but these Ghostbuster suits really suck in the Florida heat.

Wrong move, increase leg room instead.

Now I remember why I don’t like moving.

Tonight my mom will be in her new house, and everything is working over here after a modem reset yesterday. So I got a few things done while waiting for a delivery.

More than anything, though. I was ticked off, and I was trying to sound smart. I succeed at it sometimes.

I do realize I am one voice among many, and in the grand scheme my words fall on deaf ears. No politician or big corporate CEO is listening, or even cares what I have to say. This is my soap box and I will stand and say it anyway.

Maybe I should have said glasses industry, not market. Still, Luxotica is too big, like the big cable companies are too big, and they control too much. They can afford to treat customers like crap when there’s only like one or two options in town. That’s just not cool.

When I say options, I don’t mean illusion of choice. No Luxotica situation here. In fact while we’re at it Luxotica shouldn’t be legal. They own too much of the glasses market.

Honestly though, there should be options, no provider monopolies and NO locked in contracts, period. We should be able to choose between MORE than two options. They would price it more competitively and probably provide better service then. We need to go back to LOCAL providers.
