I got a few things crossed off my to-do list today.

I wrote reviews for the coffee grinder and cordless drill I’d gotten from Amazon Vine.

I bought a USB 3.1 thumb drive so I could boot Linux on Diane’s old Dell and make a final backup of its hard drive before I give it away (or turn it into a Linux machine). Having that backup let me free up an SSD to use as a Time Machine for my MacBook Air, which means all of the Macs in the house have locally-mounted Time Machines instead of relying on the network.

We took a walk after dinner. I was struck by the way the Moon and Jupiter looked and wanted to get a photo. It probably would have been better if I had my superzoom, but it’s still in the repair center (and I still don’t know if it’s repairable).

Shabbat Shalom!

I’m not a big fan of Walmart, but they sell some items at a much better price than anyone else. Yesterday, we ordered a few things from them: 12 boxes of Diane’s favorite cereal, 1 bottle of mouthwash, 1 box of Irish Breakfast tea, and 1 box of Good Earth tea. Shipping was free, and they said they’d take 2 or 3 days to get to us, which seemed perfectly acceptable and saved us a trip to the store.

Last night, we got two separate deliveries from Walmart: one with 7 boxes of cereal and the mouthwash, and another an hour later with the Irish Breakfast tea.

Today, FedEx delivered the box of Good Earth tea (which cost all of $2.98).

The other 5 boxes of cereal are “delayed” – I hope they arrive in one delivery, but I’m not betting on it.

I wonder how Walmart stays in business.
