The old LG A/C is gone, and the new LG is installed. It’s a lot quieter than the old one, but that seems to be because the maximum fan speed is lower. Which means it will take longer to move enough air to cool things down.

Jumped… or PUSHED??
Seeing that a new LG 12000 BTU A/C (with WiFi!) had been delivered, the old LG 12000 BTU A/C in the living room didn’t want to come out of its metal cage. I kept pulling on the tray, but it refused to budge. After a brief struggle, I realized what the old LG wanted was a Thelma & Louise style ending. So I let it take the honorable way out… right out the window.
BEEP! BEEP!
A couple of times since this blasted lockdown was declared I’ve taken the car out for drive on the highway, just to get out of the house with, like the Chuck Berry song, no particular place to go. But instead of Chuck Berry, here’s Bo Diddley.
A funny and somewhat unsettling observation I’ve made on the road is seeing an identical Camry in Champagne Mica, as Toyota calls the color. The driver is a lady who appears to be in her late 70’s. Move over, honey!
Drink and Dive
My new quarantine activity — drunk dumpster diving!
All Gassed Up With Nowhere to Go
Under the Covid lockdown it took a long time to use up half a tank of gas, just driving back and forth to the grocery store twice each week. I couldn’t believe the price to fill the tank — only $1.38/gallon!
Kraftwerk co-founder Florian Schneider died recently. I don’t have any Kraftwerk records, but like most everybody I know “Autobahn”. The single version made it to #25 on the Billboard chart.
Five years after “Autobahn” was Gary Numan’s album “The Pleasure Principle”, with his own electronic auto-related song “Cars”. The single cracked the Billboard top 10, peaking at #9.
