Bifocal prescription safety glasses here, with removable side shields. Used to have the "Transitions" lenses, but they actually have to screw up the close prescription to make that work, leaving you with only a small spot that isn't distorted. Got regular bifocals this time. Much better.

Mom in Hospital (UPDATED)
Last night, I got a call from my brother (who is visiting our folks) that Mom suffered chest pains and then got a case of the shakes, felt cold and her vision went blurry. None of these things are good.
This morning, the diagnosis was a clot in her lung, which is pretty terrible, however as of now that does not appear to be the case. She's being scheduled for "cathaterization" so it sounds like they are going to do an angioplasty or something.
I'm getting slightly conflicting reports from relatives on-scene (250miles away), but prognosis seems much better, even good as of now.
Blogging will remain light to nonexistent.
UPDATE:
They couldn't find a blockage, or a stroke or anything, which is troubling. More tests results are pending, but for now she is released and is staying in the guest room in their house (as she is forbidden to deal with stairs.) One theory is that she may have just been suffering from exhaustion. Perhaps now she'll listen when we tell her to calm down and not drive herself to hard about Thanksgiving.

Indeed.
Cost isn't technically the issue though. I've been looking at downgrading to a flip-phone or smartwatch for some time now. However I now have a reason to upgrade from my Blackberry to a real smartphone...it's required for Uber.

As far as cost goes you can realize a huge amount of value by avoiding the headline flagship phones.
A Galaxy S9 costs, what, $900 or so right now? I ordered a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S from Gearbest a couple weeks ago for $400. This is an all-four-carriers Snapdragon 845 with a 6" screen and 6GB of RAM: basically the same specs as an S9, but at half the price, and it works on Sprint/Verizon! (It also is a dual-sim which is pretty rare in the US.)
If you don't need that much power, the Motorola G series (just to pick one example) give you most of the same power at a fraction of the price--I got a G5S Plus on sale a while back for about $200, or $50 or so less than it normally goes for. A phone like that will pretty much do anything but the most GPU-intensive 3D games.

If I weren't flying, I would still be using my flip phone. But I needed a backup device, and my $60 no-carrier phone just wasn't cutting it anymore for the Garmin Pilot app. So, I bought a carrier LG phone, which replaced both devices. Still, it was $240. You just can't get anything much cheaper from a carrier, unless it's a VNMO that rapes consumers in monthly fees.
I remember back when Europe had expensive phones with SIMs, and we had carrier-locked phones that were given away. That was the grand bargain. Now we have $800 phones and no portability - the worst of both worlds. Thanks, Obama!

"You just can't get anything much cheaper from a carrier, unless it's a VNMO that rapes consumers in monthly fees. "
No, but if you're on AT&T/T-Mobile, you can buy any old unlocked phone and use it. The smartphones under $240 or so probably aren't going to be very good, though.
It turns out if you have an activated Verizon SIM card, you can stick it in a new (compatible) phone and it'll just work, like AT&T/T-Mobile always have, without getting special permission from Verizon like you used to have to. I found that out accidentally when I got my new Xiaomi last month. I was going through VZ's website, doing the "I want to switch my phone" form, which kept erroring out, but I'd already done the SIM swap, and noticed the phone went from "no service" to "Verizon".
It is kind of painful saying nice things about VZ, but there you have it.
Posted by: Rick C at Wed Nov 7 10:24:12 2018 (Q/JG2)
It appears that the Credit Union was struck by lightning. There are other issues as none of the local branches had phone service as late as yesterday because Verizon has rolled a critical failure on their "keep the phone lines running during weather" skillroll. (It's rained for over a week here.)
They have a backup server of course but it way out west and chose this moment to be down...I assume fires are involved though that is speculation on my part.
When I went into the main branch branch. I got them to do a withdrawal history on my account. Everything seemed copacetic when I left as the end of the month flurry of auto-draft bills had, apparently, been made, but I just got an angry alert from my to insurance company to the effect that this is not the case.
I'll be spending some time on the phone this afternoon.

I was speculating that if they have a centralised system and computerised phones, this is exactly what would happen if the network went down - a core router failure or something. The public website could well be hosted separately, but then it couldn't link to the back-end server for customer logins.
Didn't think about angry thunder gods. Need to update my DR plans.

A Journey of Discovery
Banality slouches just below the fold. As compensation, here is a piece of art that has completely different implications depending on the intended perspective.
1...replying "OK get it out." counts as elective surgery.
This is the kind of thing that activates that small part of me that said "gee, is electing Trump and blowing everything up really something to be avoided?"
This is not a "1st World Problem" per se. I mean, confounding healthcare with health insurance is, but stuff like this is "Do you get paid be stupid, or do you do it for free/are just bad at your job/your boss is the World Destroyer?"

In fairness to the hospital, the lady I spoke to there was suitably incredulous as to the procedure not being covered. According to her, the only other thing that it could be given the info she had would be if I had no insurance at all, which is not the case. Her theory (That at some point one of the doctors wrote something like "Paitent ELECTED to have procedure done." Got coded in as an elective procedure) seems likely. The fact that other doctor/dental/ER visits have been covered this year make it seem likely that this is either a coding error or an expansive view of the word "elective" is indeed in place.
Though I am not prepared to rule out Kobolds.

It was a Dark and Stormy Night
Due to severe weather delays, we were overstaffed at work this morning. As a result, I got off way early and about 5:30, as I was driving home, a lightning bolt struck next to me and showered my van in burning tree parts.
After a moment, I noted that the stricken tree next was next to a neighbors house and was burning with alarming intensity despite the downpour. I got out to see if it could be put out or to help the people get out as this was looking pretty grim.
The owner of the house and I tried to put out the fire but neither the rain nor our bucket brigade was having any effect. After an embarrassingly long interval, I had a neuron fire and realized that the tree wasn't burning, the ground was. I advised the gentleman to call the fire department NOW because it could be a peat fire and that could be the end of the whole block.
But wait...It was quite intense for peat. The ground around it was undulating and hissing...and it kept getting more intense until it was almost like...a blowtorch.
Oh. Lord. The lightning struck a gas main!
We kept the bucket brigade on it to keep it from igniting the tree or the house until the police arrived and decided to let it burn off the gas until the firetruck arrived, at which point I moved my van to make room for the ladder truck and carried my bedraggled ass home.
Looking at the rain, I really don't think I'm going to get the grass today.

Aaaaaand..They're Off
A bit over a week ago Dad dropped a 4x8 on his foot and broke it. (Well, the breakage was mostly his big toe...Mostly.)
Shortly thereafter, Mom had what we thought was a stroke and went to the hospital only to find that it was a drug interaction. Dad quickly compensated for this good news by lancing his toe to relieve pressure...and the next day it was horribly infected, requiring another trip to the hospital.
So, it's been hectic here.
Naturally, these two walking wounded decided that these reminders of their mortality meant that now is the time to attempt THAT TRIP again.
Day before yesterday...they set out.
They'll make a destination decision when they reach Florida, they're either going to Belize, the Bahamas or Puerto Rico.

I guess the semester is not advanced enough for Incompletes (if your school even does that). Where I teach, if you're passing, if you've completed x percent of the stuff (I *think* it's 50% or more), and you have a documented medical issue, you can press "pause" and then come back after you're better and the prof will let you complete the class.
