The talented artisan ( a master electrician, but also a blacksmith, a welder, a stone mason, and stained glass worker.) James W. Conner, Jr. has passed away. A familiar sight on Capitol Hill, this tall, lanky, cowboy-hat-clad man worked on movies here in DC, many commercial buildings, and was available for consultation about residences as well. He was a Viet Nam veteran, and one of the nicest guys around. He will be missed.

You know, I try to be nice, cause it's right and moral. I didn't know that it was the correct strategy.

Some ideas on preppibng your home for when you become aged. Some are obvious, some not so much. A smart home can help, too. Programmable thermostats, timed lights, wi-fi appliances. all can make your life safer & easier. My car has a lot of safety features I love too. Nearby car warnings, back-up camera, lane assist, hands-free driving, GPS location and direcdtions, all of these make my driving safer. Hey, new tech is cool. I just saw a video about assisted bionic leg braces. hmmmmm.

Pros say these elements and strategies create a safe, comfortable home that adapts to life’s changes.

So, I'm having breakfast in one of my favorite dive bars, listening to the ebb and flow of talking and political analysis, and I hear the bartender state: "When I was a kid, I got my new glasses, and wore them for awhile, and then they got busted, but I couldn't afford a new pair, so I did without for a year or two. Then, more flush, I went to get a new prescription with another doctor. That doctor told me I didn't need a prescription, my eyes were fine. (???).
I told my family, and they all went to see the new doctor. 3 sisters, and another brother, all had glasses. THe new doctor said that they were all fine.
I think the first doctor found a great way to drum up business."
While others were chuckling about a violation of medical ethics right up there with Andrew Wakefield, I thoughtfully said, "You're lucky he wasn't an undertaker."

of course, it would have been funnier, If I had said, "YOu're lucky he wasn't a proctologist."
