10 Random Things

In no particular order...

1. I was trying to post a picture everyday but my life is fairly boring (plus I am often at my desk all day) so that has fallen by the wayside (along with any sentiment that inspired me to do this after Charlie Kirk was killed and we were told to believe that this guy sprinted off the roof after the shooting, and the 30.06 he used magically left the roof and ended up in the woods somehow because he certainly wasn't carrying it in this video). I hate politics and all things politics-related.
2. Did you know the US no longer makes pennies? This was news to me!
3. I didn't see the Northern Lights here in Vegas last night but I am hoping to catch them tonight.
4. Hubby and I made the rounds yesterday and he picked up several Veteran's Day freebies which included lots of food and a haircut. We went to our usual free buffet for veterans at the Southpoint Casino yesterday but the line was two+ hours long so we skipped it this year.
5. I saw a post on Lorraine's FB page about the differences between Medicare and Medicare Advantage. Since hubby uses the military's Tricare For Life program where everything is free, I didn't know there were so many differences between the two programs. Medicare is utterly confusing to me!
6. I have no illusions that my job couldn't be replaced by AI at a moment's notice (which is why we will never take out another loan for anything because who knows how long I will have a job), but AI as it relates to the job market is looking scarier by the minute these days. eeekkk
7. I'm glad we are not flying, relying on food stamps, or signing up for health insurance this month...what a shitshow our government is these days. Let's hope the Dems run a better candidate for president in the next election (ie: not this one). OK, enough politics...
8. Adding more misery, this month I am getting so many spam calls every day (no idea why the sudden steep increase) and I was bitten by mosquitoes and dozen times despite not even seeing said mosquitoes in more than a decade (apparently I'm not the only one). 
9. I needed something to equal up to $35 to get free shipping on Amazon so I added a Rubik's Cube, a toy I hadn't played with since I was a child. I scrambled the colors and hubby and I tried to put the colors back and now we have a messed up cube because neither one of us knows how to fix it!
10. Finally, if you need any cute cat pictures, here are thousands of them!
