I've Made Progress With the Heel Wound
By Daddy
Las Vegas — The wound is now .6cm by .5cm deep (about ¼" for those that don't speak metic.) We're very optimistic but don't want to jinx the healing. I'm wearing compressing tubes on both legs and the limp is mostly gone. It's time to schedule a diabetic eye exam which I suspect is sorely needed. Very tired today so taking multiple naps.
Ninety days and counting to the most important election of the century. If you don't want to risk going to the polling place because of the COVID-19, make your request for an absentee ballot now. Some states require an excuse for voting by mail. Due to the coronavirus, some states are giving all voters an excuse to vote by mail for certain elections. Nevada just has a form you print out, sign, and fax to them. I've a copy of the PDF on a thumb drive for the next time I visit the mailbox.
I made it to Day 72 of the SwiftUI. I'm in the middle of a project called Bucket List to work with MapViews to graphically mark a private list of places on the map that they intend to visit one day. One of the longest projects to date that will probably take the rest of the week. In my case more to mark the places that I've been already.
I'm projecting that I'll be about $500 short for the month and I'll need to throw the rest of the stimulus check into the pot. To all those that have donated, Thank you! Any help is appreciated. Here's a link to the How to Donate Page

Game of Thrones Star Kit Harington Caught Adjusting Himself on Camera
By Staff
Hollywood — Harington got himself into something of a pickle while dropping off his pup Whippet at the vet. As much as we appreciate the pants he’s wearing, I’m sure Harington has a bone to pick with them. There’s also the distinct possibility that what we’re seeing here is more in the “wedgie” department, but we can neither confirm nor deny this hypothesis. We’ll save the hard-hitting journalism for later. Either way, we can respect the relatability of this moment, and admire his…poise. (More)
