Memorial Day 2023

To celebrate Memorial Day, breakfast was procured at the other fast food joint in town. Two greasy hamburgers (with survey coupon discount) were ordered to supplement the morning cup of coffee (from the usual fast food joint). The routine was the same otherwise … workout at the gym, then dinner at Subway® (with $1 off discount).

Well, the long-dreaded trek to Ala Moana Center was made in the late afternoon. The bus ride was not enjoyable. Idiotic tourists made the short journey seem like the “road to perdition.”

Only two stores in the mall were visited. Five packs of Nature’s Path® granola and two bananas (for dessert) were procured at Target®. In addition, $40 worth of specialty toothbrushes were purchased at Longs® using the Healthy Benefits+® card. A can of generic cashew nuts was subsequently purchased for $3 with the $2 off Longs® receipt coupon. Every discount is exploited. That’s the beauty of the miserly ways. Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa!

Fortunately, the bus ride back to Waikiki was tolerable. Very few fools were on the bus. There will be no need (or desire) to return to Ala Moana Center for several weeks, thank Molech!

The rest of the evening was spent sequestered in the mausoleum at the “old folks home” in Waikiki. The only activity, of course, is to peruse the approved sites on the Net using the iPhone. The Simplicius “blog” on Substack is now a high priority. Then, there is Eporner … oh brother.

Miscellany: Nearly all on-line accounts have been modified to now use both real nomenclature and iCloud e-mail address (although all e-mail is still forwarded to the Proton Mail account). Sadly, the beloved pseudonym has been deprecated for those accounts.
