Daylight Savings Time ends overnight – don’t forget to set your clocks BACK one hour if your location participates in this. The Arkansas legislature apparently takes up this question every two years. So far, the majority of legislators want to keep it. It comes up again in 2025. Maybe this time we can get rid of it.

LINDA’S CRAFTINESS –
_________
WEATHER – I’m hoping for a good series of long, soaky rains. We’re under a burn ban here in Arkansas because things have been so dry for so long. We have a chance to remedy that a bit with rain predicted for today through Monday, some of the storms possibly severe. Hopefully, the ‘severe’ will bypass us and everything will say ‘Ahhhhhh!’

UNQUALIFIED GO-TO TECH PERSON IN LEWIS HOUSEHOLD – More and more I – the totally clueless tech person here – am being put in the position of solving tech problems. My husband used to be able to figure out everything and FIX things, program things, etc. All of that is changing, and I have to admit, the quality of ‘fixing’ around here is suffering, although I DO figure out key points here and there.
Example – Yesterday I asked my husband if he could help me set up the WII we haven’t used for years. I found it, the associated parts and wires, the other day when I was deep cleaning the entertainment system. Since I’m trying to move more, I thought doing the Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus groups of activities would be a fun addition from time to time. I changed all the batteries in all the parts – THAT I could handle. We had a real problem, though, getting things so that the ‘hand’ that you’re supposed to move on the screen to choose things wasn’t going to the bottom of the screen. I finally figured out that the BAR that the remote is talking to was down too low and so I taped it on top of our TV. Then we had a problem with the sound. Since our sound comes through the speakers, it complicates things. We finally figured things out – together.
Later that evening, my husband was gnashing his teeth that Google wasn’t sending him the email he wanted through his phone. I turned out that he was actually supposed to be looking for a ‘message,’ not an email. Then I taught him how to send a picture from his phone to his email so he could then forward it to our son… ACCCCCCCCK! We need a teenager on loan, please!

Hoping for a quiet day on this ‘spotty’ rain day (whatever that is.) I wish you an extremely pleasant day.
