I needed a clock. A wall clock. The kind you hang on the wall. Target has a clock for $4. It comes with a 5 year warranty. I just have to pay a $5 handling fee and they will send a new $4 clock.

We have a wall clock that my parents gave us back in 1981. That sucker ran for 30 years without a hitch. I replaced the mechanism back then with a new one I got online. That mechanism lasted almost 10 years, when I replaced it last year. We'll see how long this latest one runs. I think the mechanism was about $5 each time. Bonus is that the mechanism comes with new hands so you can change the look of the clock a little bit each time.

My wall doesn't need to know what time it is, so I don't have a wall clock. If I need to know what time it is, I will look at my watch, or my phone, or my microwave. And since I spend most of the day on my computer, I can look in the lower right corner if all else fails.

On Amazon, 3 clock mechanism kits are available for $10. I could make anything into a clock. The easiest, and most obvious, would be my 12" single of Eddie Murphy and Rick James singing "Party All The Time".

Thank You POTUS. I was really starting to worry about how to spend my money. But now, I won't have to worry.



But the real excitement is that I can now get fresh kimchi. Since travel to North Korea is not recommended.

I still had some cabbage in the refrigerator. No more corned beef. So I was reduced to eating it with striploin. Your basic Chinese chop suey.

If you encounter someone who is vaccine hesitant, remind them of the diseases which are largely under control or have been eliminated. I found this listing in wikipedia. Excepting for COVID, they are largely under control or eliminated. If the polio vaccine had come along 5 years earlier, my brother-in-law would probably be able to walk today.
  1. Cholera
  2. COVID-19 (emergency use WHO list)
  3. Dengue fever[6]
  4. Diphtheria
  5. Ebolavirus
  6. Haemophilus influenzae type b
  7. Hepatitis A
  8. Hepatitis B
  9. Hepatitis E
  10. Human papillomavirus infection
  11. Influenza
  12. Japanese encephalitis
  13. Malaria[6]
  14. Measles
  15. Meningococcal disease
  16. Mumps
  17. Pneumococcal disease
  18. Pertussis
  19. Poliomyelitis
  20. Rabies
  21. Rotavirus gastroenteritis
  22. Rubella
  23. Tetanus
  24. Tick-borne encephalitis
  25. Tuberculosis
  26. Typhoid fever
  27. Varicella
  28. Yellow fever
  29. Shingles (Herpes Zoster)
