Notes from the underground

Christmas Letter

So, Karen did NOT make me strike this whole paragraph from our Christmas letter although, she did ask for a slight edit:
"... with the disaster to civilization that Trump represents. Over the years I’ve accepted that people might vote against the candidates I support. This is America. People are free to vote for whom they will, even against their own best interests. But I’m having a hard time imagining that I could be friends with people that voted for a Nazi and Klan endorsed, Russian-aided, lying, thin-skinned pussy grabber. Knowing now how we feel, if you got this letter in error, please let us know so we can adjust our list accordingly."

First I Tweeted This

My new watch woke up and said, “No events today,” and went back to sleep. I just sighed my agreement and did the same.

They Call It Best Foods For A Reason

This is ridiculous. They didn't use regular Hellman's (Best Foods in the west). They used their canola version. Is EVERY election in this country rigged‽‽

Consumer Protection: One More Thing We're Outsourcing to China

Ha, thank you China. Wait, I meant, “Ha,” as an exclamation and not as some kind of racist Chinese slur. Because in this article about how the Chinese consumer protection agency is making Apple acknowledge iPhone battery problems, there is a link to see if your particular iPhone is eligible for a battery replacement. And mine is. My phone was constantly dying when I was passing out Margaret Stock flyers, and Apple said it was because the phone was cold. I was all, I’m cold too, but that doesn’t mean I can just stop. So, ha ha, (see disclaimer above) Apple, the joke’s on you. I’ll be in next week for my new battery.
