The evening outing consisted of a quick jaunt on the bus to Ala Moana Center. A visit to Longs® was made to spend a small portion of the quarterly OTC Card allotment on toothpaste. There are now five tubes of toothpaste sitting in the queue. Then, a trip was made to town to procure a Curry Chicken Manapua at 7-Eleven®. Finally, a return trip to Waikiki with a stopover at the International Marketplace.
Anxiety continues to fester with no end in sight. At this point in time, identifying the focus is difficult. No doubt, the issue of death is at center of the psychological storm. Sadly, another big-ass can of Corona® cerveza was required to soothe the agitated psyche.
All issue are reported in Notes, even if it supersedes the minimalist posting policy. The primary purpose of Notes is to chronicle personal history. The internal search function allows for such historical data to be located, if necessary. The immediate concern is the use of cheap booze to placate the “soul.” This cannot and must not become a trend.
A secondary issue is the abundance of discretionary funds at this time. Spending, as an offset, has increased, but the latter is just “a drop in a bucket.” The bulk of the funds must be expended wisely during the last of the “good years.”
On a side note, the iPhone 14 Pro was definitely a nice acquisition even given the ridiculous course being pursued by the parent corporation. There was serious consideration given to procuring the Google® Pixel 7 device. However, that idea was quickly nixed.
Of corse, there is much bewilderment about the need to purchase an extravagant $1,100 device ($800 after trade-in) if none of the features are being exploited. The camera module, for example, is a huge monstrosity, but few photographs are ever taken. Oh well.
The current plan is to keep the device for two or three years. Then, it will be used as trade-in for a new, albeit basic, model. Well, that’s the plan anyway. Alas, the cerveza is working its magic!
Addendum: There are no third-party “apps” installed on the iPhone 14 Pro. Many of the system “apps” were also mummified. Therefore, the gimmicky “Dynamic Island” remains dormant most of the time.
