Got a letter from my Insurance company saying after the two $44 checks I got they are going to continue to send me C-virus discount checks for the next four months. Don't have the heart to tell them about Watkins Glen in September.

I finally - FINALLY - had a haircut this morning.
I was in need of one at the time when lockdown commenced at the beginning of March, and things, not surprisingly, have gone from bad to worse. I went through the badly thatched cottage phase some weeks ago and had become perilously close to bearing a horrible resemblance to Peter Stringfellow. I had considered various courses of action during the interregnum, including the 'all off look', a pony tail and even, horror upon horror, a man bun. I mentioned the latter option to a neighbour who said she wouldn't speak to me if I did that. ![]() Anyway, I left behind enough hair (in a rather fetching shade of grey since you ask) to stuff a settee. Chillingly, I also had to leave contact details which is only to have been expected in the current situation, but on balance I am HAPPY!

Oh, folks, you are in for a treat today--if you look out the left side of our rover, you'll see a beautiful specimen of Contactus tracetus, a rare beast indeed! C. tracetus can't thrive in our harsh American climate, but it does well in calmer, more level-headed habitats of the world. Get some good pictures, because you'll probably never see one of these beauts again!

Man, that's the epitome of adulthood joy, right there. Relax in a hammock and watch the young people have fun. Vicarious excitement without all the sunburn and sore muscles.

Whatever it was, I hope it wasn't expensive.

Perhaps sabotaged by an animal who shan't be named to increase lap time?

![]() The reason I ask is that I used to help a local computer repair bod and the first port of call for any machine that was dead on arrival was to check the power supply. Quite often, lightning had created a surge in the overhead telephone line which took the shortest route to earth which, of course, was via the PSU knackering it in the process. It was a quick and easy repair and relatively inexpensive. Sorry to hear that you drew the short straw this time.
