Milcom Miasma<p>Mastodon Tip:</p><p>If you're going to follow me hoping to entice me into a telegram scam relationship, do us both a favor and just move on.</p><p>I'm not as lonely or gullible as you need me to be and you're not nearly as interesting.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/FollowScams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FollowScams</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/OldPeopleOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldPeopleOfMastodon</span></a></p>

Milcom Miasma<p>I'm in need of some restraint.</p><p>I'm doing some administrative consolidation (as one does when they get a bit older), and I closed my fidelity account.</p><p>After moving funds to a different account, Fidelity printed and sent me a check for $0.24. I don't know why they did this, but they did.</p><p>Other men might be embarrassed to cash this check at the bank. I plan to ask for my proceeds in specific denominations of coins.</p><p>It's mad money and I'm treating it as such.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/OldPeopleOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldPeopleOfMastodon</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/HighFinance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HighFinance</span></a></p>

bananabob :tinoflag:<p>6.00AM - Woke up in a fit of panic a smoke alarm blaring out at . Rushed around the house bare skinned, in the dark, trying to find which alarm of the six installed it was. There was no fire, there was no smoke. Then couldn't get back to sleep for ages with all that adrenaline coursing through my body.</p><p>Why do these alarms always cause an issue at night. They never seem to go off for no reason during the day?</p><p>Certainly not good for an aging boomer like me.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/SmokeAlarm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmokeAlarm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/OldPeopleOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldPeopleOfMastodon</span></a></p>
Milcom Miasma<p>We had brunch at a Western Art museum today.</p><p>There is a series of portraits of Native Americans and one of the men who was a model for one of the paintings was named "Bad Marriage." His wife was also a model for one of the paintings and her name was "Wife of Bad Marriage."</p><p>I guess some concepts transcend culture.</p><p>I just wish the three women I was with didn't stare at me every time they read the title of the painting.</p><p>Source: <a href="https://thebrintonmuseum.org/collection/western-art/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thebrintonmuseum.org/collectio</span><span class="invisible">n/western-art/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Museums" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Museums</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/OldPeopleOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldPeopleOfMastodon</span></a></p>

Milcom Miasma<p>Life tip: If the lady working at the museum asks you if you want to see and hear something cool, your answer should ALWAYS be yes!</p><p>Today I heard a record pressed in the 1910s played on a 1910 hand-cranked Victrola. </p><p>It sounded amazing.</p><p>This isn't the one we got to see and hear but it's the same model and year to give you an idea.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Museums" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Museums</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/RecordPlayers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RecordPlayers</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Music</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/OldPeopleOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldPeopleOfMastodon</span></a></p>

Milcom Miasma<p>Flexible in our caution.</p><p>The receptionist at our optometrist gave my wife a piece of chocolate when we stopped by to get her bottle of eyeglass cleaner refilled.</p><p>Me: "I thought we didn't accept candy from strangers."</p><p>Mrs. Miasma: "I've seen her around."</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/ItsChocolate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ItsChocolate</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/StrangerDanger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StrangerDanger</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/OldPeopleOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldPeopleOfMastodon</span></a></p>

Milcom Miasma<p>So that sucked.</p><p>We went into town this morning to pick up some books we ordered from the local book store.</p><p>Mrs. Miasma accidentally stepped on a rock and rolled her ankle and skinned her knee as she fell.</p><p>Few things in life will remind you of how old and helpless you've become like the person you love most lying in the middle of an alley in pain.</p><p>Stupid rocks.</p><p>* - She's home resting now with an ice-pack on the ankle, some hot tea, a new book and her favorite cookie.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/OldPeopleOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldPeopleOfMastodon</span></a></p>
BunRab Voted for Harris<p>A couple of lucky things about being old right now:<br />1. I have gotten a flu shot every year from 1976, so if there&#39;s no new flu shot next year, I nonetheless have some lingering antibodies against pretty much every flu variant.<br />2. I am old enough to have received a smallpox vaccination, and according to an infectious diseases specialist I talked to, that gives me protection against mpox, so I don&#39;t need to get an mpox vaccine.<br /><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/OldPeopleOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OldPeopleOfMastodon</span></a></p>
Milcom Miasma<p>With an abundance of snow still on the ground from our last storm, our neighbor is out in their driveway washing their car.</p><p>I can think of few things as futile as washing your car in February in rural Wyoming.</p><p>Everybody needs a hobby I guess.

SilverSalmonAK<p>We're at the Wintergrass Bluegrass Festival this weekend and one of the acts, Della Mae (amazing all woman band) played this song.

Milcom Miasma<p>Traction foul.</p><p>I fell playing pickle ball this morning. I forgot how gym floors are specially designed to remove skin from knees and elbows.</p><p>P.S.

Milcom Miasma<p>Last night we got down to -12 (F) -24 (C) overnight.</p><p>This morning I'm feeling distinctly Canadian.
