It has been a humbling experience - being beaten at the game of auctioning on eBay and being taught a lesson by a complete stranger on how to bid because he was not pleased that I drove up the price he eventually ended up paying, hee hee. I comprehend now how addictive this game can be. I have been at the PC for hours. Wish my Coolpix did not give up its ghost. Then I would not have been so hooked. The estimate to repair poor Coolpix is about as much as some of the winning bids for a newer Coolpix with higher resolution, greater optical zoom and larger LCD. Such is the consequence of the relentless march of technology. So a throwaway society we become because it makes no sense to repair anything remotely electronic anymore.
Doris has been learning how to drive with my Civic. She is really quite good despite having been deprived of driving privileges for almost 20 years. I know she will pass easily.
It is late and I am about to retire from a day on the eBay. So far I have lost 3 bids, all within the last few seconds. Wish me luck for the next 2 days. Good nite.
