Open Thread - 11/14/26 - Odds and Ends

Good morning, good people!
Hope you are all in fine fettle this Saturday morning.
Last night and again tonight, temps will be in the high 40s. Around these parts, that's take due precaution weather. My laptop in my "special room", where a heater is seldom used, and where windows are slightly opened, will come into the warmer main house. Ok...we are cold weather wusses.
I haven't done my annual eye exam in 2 or 3 years, but got 'er done Thursday. Absolutely no change since my cataract lasik surgery almost a decade ago. I use cheaters on occasion, no issues for mid or far range vision.
Grocery prices held steady, as did fuel prices. Ok for now, emphasis on now.
I hope all of you can report things are ok.
I truly worry about us.
Open Thread means open to any and all ideas any of you want to share with your friends here.
