I apologize...

To all the people driving on the roads for the past, oh, probably 3 or 4 years at least. I could not see. And I did not know it.

And to all the people who read this journal. I'm afraid the next several days are going to continue the theme of I CAN SEE!!!

Seriously, the state needs to revisit how they test vision for driver's licenses and not let people like me behind the wheel. I thought I could see but today, with no contacts, I learned that, in fact, I cannot. I was really distracted by being able to read street signs and advertising billboards! Wild.

150% successful road trip. Thanks to GPS for not getting me lost. I found exactly what I needed in Ikea and not even too much more and got out of the door for $35. Then I remembered Popeye's chicken!! It's 1 mile from Ikea so I went over there and, since it's next to Walmart, dipped into Walmart and picked up a few things on my list (bread and frozen fries) and then got chicken and biscuits and came home. I have chicken for lunch and I bought some for dinner, too!

I'm one seriously happy camper.

Oh and I just read that Molly Wood is going to be a regular again on Buzz Out Loud. Hal. E. Loo. Ya. (This is a web tech show on CNET.TV that I download to TiVo and watch every week day. Molly applies some needed estrogen and I'm way tired of the guys who have been occupying her spot.)

Of course, it would be far more helpful to have a GPS that worked INSIDE Ikea given the way they lay those suckers out!

No shit!! BUT... today, knowing exactly what I wanted and what section it was in, I actually studied the map and found the short cuts! I felt like Magellan!

I was disappointed that CNET discontinued their TiVoCast feature that was delivered straight to the TiVo. I guess I can subscribe to their video podcast, but I liked the TiVo-specific packaging.

Yeah but... I think getting rid of that Tivo cast is what freed her up to go back to BOL. There is an All CNET videos option down in Video on Demand>Free VOD and Web Videos> - use either All or Technology. You can get a season pass.

I do hear ya, tho. I will miss hearing 'Hello, TiVo People!'

Besides being very knowledgeable about tech, Molly is also easy on the eyes ;-)
