   Why did Peter Finch (as Howard Beale) in Network yelling “I’m as mad as h*ll and I’m not going to take this anymore!” come to mind?

   The blinds manufacturers don’t make it easy. I’ve been trying to find a replacement for the bathroom window. The vinyl one currently there is outside-mounted and measures 28.5" across. No one online has this width unless I go for custom—we just picked this one off the shelf at Home Depot years ago for about $10; it’s not custom-made. Some online specs say the “actual” blind will be a half inch narrower than listed (aha! so a 29" blind will be 28.5), but some say 3/8" narrower. Also the way the blinds mount to the window has changed—most now use two clips that are screwed into/hang down from the middle of the window frame that you snap the blind onto; our current blind just slipped into open-fronted end caps mounted to the outside of the window frame. Most new blinds don’t have the long strings on the side to pull the blind up—now you grab the bottom of the blind and either lift, or pull it down to adjust. The problem with that is it means I can’t just cut the strings that run through the blinds to remove excess slats from the bottom to shorten the blind—so I have to find a 36" length, or be okay with numerous slats stacked up on the bottom. Oh, yeah, I also want almond, or alabaster, or bisque, or whatever beige is called these days.

   I’ve always asked someone to give me a coin when gifting something sharp to them. (I am sure to have some change on me if they don’t have any.) I also put some coins/cash in any handbag, wallet, or change purse I give as a present to ensure good fortune to the giftee.

   Oof! Poor Bella. Kudos to you for “knowing” your pup and getting her back to the vet when the expected improvement wasn’t happening. Hope Bella gets better soon.

    Years ago, our friend raised his wipers up out of the way while clearing ice off his windshield before heading out to work. When he dropped one of the wipers back down, the little thunk cracked his windshield.
