Thursday miscellanea #539

  • Did you catch the triumph in thwarting a human trafficking operation at Huntsville International Airport that was reported this week?
  • I tried Moe’s online ordering this week. It’s pretty good, but the way the restaurant is set up, you basically have to break line to talk to the person who hands you your order.
  • Alex Trebek’s one-year update on his pancreatic cancer is required viewing.
  • The problem with US 231 south of Huntsville is 70 feet below the surface. So they’re looking at moving part of the road. Settle in, folks. Gonna be a while.
  • Haven’t been to the movies in a while, so my club tickets are accumulating. That’s OK. It’ll still be a good deal when I go!
  • My inexpensive graphics card finally failed completely—its fan hasn’t worked in months, so it was a time bomb—and I went back to onboard graphics. Most of my video, both local files and streaming, turned green. After researching and confirming to my satisfaction that it would never work, I bought another inexpensive graphics card just to de-green the videos. Silly? Maybe. But how many days must I use it before it isn’t anymore?
  • Locals, a sunny weekend is forecast! A little cool, but no rain!
