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.

Hey, folks!
Your turn, so let 'er rip!

Thanks for putting up the OT
.
we are cold here as well, about 40 degrees. Tough transitioning into the
winter mode. Adaptable beasts as we are. Have a fire stoking in the wood
stove, so that helps somewhat. Plan to fire-up the boiler and get some heat
in the radiant floor in the kitchen space (large 20' x 30') which should help.
Have been reticent to burn heating oil as it is wicked expensive this year.
Watching street food vids from China, Thailand, Brazil and now Afghanistan.
Eventually, hope to get hungry enough to cook something worthwhile.
The Chiwawas in EU are trying to get a seat at the negotiations re: Ukraine,
but they can't seem to agree on anything like a substantive position. Kalas,
Mertz and Macron think they are the chosen ones. Meanwhile Putin is
tightening the screws and trumpet is removing Rubio from the process.
But the US has a couple real estate agents on the job. Such a mess they
are in of their own un-doing.

Good Morning...
A cool 39F this morning here, and 33F at Trade Day. Not many traders, as you might expect. Now mid-40's sunny and nice.
Bought a turkey, $0.57/lb, at the grocery, and may buy another next week to keep in the freezer till spring. T-day is around the corner. My sister and her family plan to come here.
Saw something on the YT feed of a air travel grounding last night. Seems the air controllers lost communications.
Glad I'm not flying ...at least not lately.
Well, hope everyone has a good weekend. Thanks for the OT!

The FAA decided to switch to an AI guided system

and it promptly crashed. Did not take into account the existing system
was unable to handle the new tech. Oops. And we are supposed to trust
our lives in air to these short sighted managers? No thanks. Rather take a
train if it's domestic. Otherwise jump on a boat.
