    Yeah, I think there’s merit to dropping a bunch of hermits in the middle of NYC with no money or technology or credit history and seeing who can survive the longest.

    I actually think this is a terrific concept, one I'd watch.
    Interestingly, there are significant pockets of NYC's everyday economy that are still very old school in terms of their technological connectivity and methods of payment. Like, you don't Google a good bodega; you just walk approx 1.5 blocks in any direction and find one (or ask somebody). You don't swipe a card for a hot dog or gyro at a cart; you pony up paper bills.
    I'd submit that you can get by better in NYC without a smartphone and with only cash than in the vast majority of American cities, maybe more easily than in any other American city.

    So sorry to hear about this, BD. I know how much you were looking forward to your adventure as a boon to your mental health. I'm tempted to make a Neal Page/Del Griffith joke, but I somehow don't think that would be helpful.
    Fingers crossed that things work out somehow.

    BD - I hope you can get flights arranged so you don't miss anything or, at least, not much.

    Heading out to the airport in a few minutes. In the meantime, I have 2 tickets to the Miami game on Saturday that my oldest son is not going to be able to use - does anybody here want them? Send me a PM. I won't see the PM until late tonight but I'll get back either then or sometime tomorrow.

    we just bailed on the Miami game ourselves. too many nasty microbes out there right now to suit me, plus the real threat of a cancelled flight and a long stay in an airport is not appealing.

    X-ray equipment is getting classier. The one I worked on today was giving Error Code 9F.

    For Aimo: A Canadian customer of mine sent me a message that said if you went by only looks I'm a 6 but if you factor in humor, personality and ability then I'm a solid 2. I love these people.

    Hah. That doesn't sound like an error...

    Thanks! I needed a pick-me-up today!

    Sigh. That's it. BD - hope you make it to Music City safely this evening.

    Are you sure Stowe is known for its seafood?
