FilmStruck Strikeout
Once Turner Classic Movies had the technical glitches of its streaming service worked out I became a regular and enthusiastic user. So much so that I was seriously contemplating signing up for its FilmStruck online library. I held off, however, being concerned that FilmStruck may not survive in the face of so much online competition. My concern was well-founded.
The 16th Inning Stretch
18 innings! Two games in one. But will the World Series take away from Republican momentum in the midterm elections?
Jukebox Joy
It’s alive! After replacing the belts in my 18-year-old Sony CD 300-disc carousel I was frustrated by a skipping problem. I’d been using an otherwise idle Panasonic DVD player for CD’s, but I missed having the changer.
So, with my Trustee duties mostly completed, and having lots of free time in retirement, I took one more stab at fixing the skipping and succeeded, with a couple of Q-tips and some silicone lubricant. It’s working perfectly in every way, once again. Yay for me!
An old PS2-type computer keyboard is used to enter text for CD’s that don’t include CD Text and, alas, none of the CD’s I stuffed into the changer offer CD Text. As mentioned in the previous post, the forward-sounding Sony is different than the more reserved Panasonic, but I like the strong bass.

No Action is Needed
Presidential Alert on every cellphone in the country! If Obama had done this, Fox News would have been apoplectic with outrage.
