Looks like the police are asking for an increase in funding yet again. There is the promise of a stronger presence in Crescent Park and the surrounding Downtown aria. Crime in this aria is indeed up, but it's also up all over the city and in other parts of town violence is more common. But here is my take on it. The city relies heavily on tourists to come to the downtown aria to shop, stay at the spa and gamble, among other things. So this is to make the tourists feel safer and continue to spend money. In essence, they are going to protect profits in the guise of protecting people. Yes, the side effect is less crime in the aria, but what about other parts of town? Just my thoughts on it, I'm no expert, I just know how things look to me.  

  Lets look at the storage available on my phone shall we? Oh just because. SD Card is empty because I just deleted 82GB of video and photos from the Trash Can.

Well a very proud moment for me. I was into my second 1.75L bottle of Dill Pickle Caesar and the second pour from it went wrong. Honestly I've not passed out drunk in 30 years, and I did just as I was tipping the bottle over. It went all over the table and the carpet. This is as good as I can get it clean without getting in product from the store. I tried laundry soap in a rather not very diluted form, and all that did was make bubbles to clean up. After payday I will have to see what I can get at a store. I've got not one clue what to buy. I've never had too. I know the stuff Mom used to use killed my chemical sensitives and I'm sure anything else that will clean this will do the same. Best thing is, when I woke up I just went right to bed and left it until morning. Seriously, I almost never drink a tone of booze, and this is the only time I went lights out from it in probably 30 years. Oh well, there are other spots to be done anyway.  

Got this Paddock Wood Brewing Company IPA beer and it was yummy, but hear on it was brutal when trying to get it in the mug. I did tip the mug and do it right, but it still foamed up like mad.  Quite a strong tasting beer and very much not anything light going down, it was very filling. I'm going to give it a 7.5/10. It's the only product from the company I've consumed as it seems to be the only one I can find in town. In any even, way better than the average IPA.  

I have been using Jigsaws Galore for many years. I've played thousands of puzzles on it over the years, and in 2022 I started to keep track of the folders of puzzles I have made, and have played. I keep saying I won't make for for a few months, then I see photos online I want to use for it, so it keeps expanding. There is an actual error in this screen cap, but oh well. The original is 7 less than it should be. Not fixing it and cropping out the image again, just not. I've managed to do 12 1000 piece puzzles and they take about 5 hours total play time to put together for me. Most of the are 100 Pieces and I can zip threw a bunch of them waiting for the computer to render a fractal or 8.  

November 18th was my 56th birthday and we went out for dinner. It was a great meal that I paid for with a gift card that I got with my credit card points. The picture shows what my friends got me. The jelly is delicious I have to say. The chips where great, even though I'm not a big fan of Old Dutch. The gummies where good too, and the spice is nice an hot. I just had some of the spice on some sliced tomatoes and it rocked. It was a very happy day, even if it did tire me out rather a lot.  

To shut up the nagging to buy more stuff from Corel, go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Corel\CUH\v2 Delete Everything in the folder This will kill their "helper" and no more SUPER ANNOYING popup ads. Trust me, setting the notification to OFF does literally nothing to shut them up. I love PaintShop Pro, but holly crap, enough with pushing more product on me. This should literally be against the law to do. You pay them a fortune, and the install ad-ware on your computer FFS.  

My skin and my lips are always dry. In the winter when it's cold and even more dry than normal, my lips tend to crack and even peal (dead skin). I've found that Nivea tends to work the best for my lips. Nothing fixes it all the way, but using this seems to help a lot. Before when I used another product, my lips still became badly cracked in the dead of winter. I switched and it healed the cracks and prevented bad cracks from forming again. I do have to say mild cracks did however form a couple of times, but not the noticeably deep ones I was getting before. It also does not have any strange tastes to it and does not make my lips look glossed like the wax one did. All in all I'm going to rate this an 8/10 - it could be a bit better, but it's the best so far .
