Last night my son came over to help me figure out how to reformat the iPod that was given to me by a friend of mine who works over at a state agency for people with disabilities. They receive a lot of technology which is good stuff but no longer of use to whatever entity passes it over too this program. Love story short with I took the iPod just because I don't really know anything about the Apple world and thought maybe it might be good to have one but in the meantime I ran across one of my neighbors, another senior much more senior than me that was contemplating getting a computer and really all he really wanted to do was stuff he could do on a laptop or not an iPod tablet type of venue. So I figured why not give him the machine. I thought I'd be able to wipe the system myself and get him going but really I realize how little I know about the technical aspect of the whole computer situation or it situation. So anyway Mark came over and basically reformatted the system and now I have to get my buddy Jimmy down here to try to walk him through setting up that iPod for his own use. Sometimes I feel like such a farce or fraud not knowing any more than I know but I come off like I know a lot more sometimes. I just hope that big Jim will be able to use the system we set up for him when we finally get it functional.
The other part of my day are the high point I was having lunch with my old buddy Dwayne. I've written about Dwayne before so I won't go into any more about our particular history as far as working for the state of Utah in the area of independent living and such. That's the political realities of our country continue to become more and more nefarious or dangerous we have seemed to have a stronger need to meet than we used to. Used to be every couple months now it's almost once a month we have to get together and talk about how desperate living in this country is becoming for everybody but particularly for folks like myself people with disabilities. People like Dwayne herself reading as well because they've all had decent 401k and stuff pretty much decimated by the hits they've been taking from the failing Market. But today we had lunch at a little joint right across the street from where I live it's called Mokies. Truly a nice little joint that is totally conspicuous until you get inside of it and realize it's a full-blown restaurant. Specializes in Hawaiian food that's the one reason I didn't really go into this place until just relatively recently just the last year or so. But the specializes in Hawaiian they do serve some really good just basic age and type stuff as well. The really do think highly of themselves and they're a little bit more expensive than other places we have dying that over the the seasons but I think Dwayne was quite impressed with the joint and once again he picked up the tab.

The market has not dropped significantly since Trump's election, and not much has changed to senior's benefits to this point either. Don't jump into believing everything you hear on NPR.
