Date older women. Why?

Until further notice, Costco warehouses will open from 8 to 9 a.m. Tuesday through Thursday for members ages 60 and older, and for those with physical impairments. The pharmacy will be open, but the Costco Food Court will be closed during these hours.

The more you know? The better informed.

“Here Comes The Rain Again”

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion

Oooooh

I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(Here it comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

Lyrics got stuck in my head, part of mix tape from some place.

True confessions: one of the way of dealing with cabin fever, which it isn’t, but one of the ways I deal with this enforced inward journey? I dig out old technology. I fired up an iPod and discovered that it still worked, but that didn’t mean much, too unwieldy to effectively use as a way to listen to music.

However, I also dragged out an old (mini) iPad and fired it up, erased, updated, and added a new “internet radio” player, free app at the time. That lead me to its version of radio channels, which got me stuck on a German 80s80s.de feed for the app.

In the app, two characteristics that are widely amusing at the moment? The front end appears analog, and the images for the Various musical groups, frequently current images, appear in the player’s background.

So much of the EDM, electronic music has its roots in that synth-heavy early 80’s disco/new wave.

Agency

Agency – William Gibson

Slipping back into a William Gibson novel, stylish, quirky, defies the laws of physics, and yet? The taut prose, highly stylized in a minimalist, stripped down way?
Gibson
At once the future, and current, too. Favorite author apocrypha? The term “cyber space” was first used in his literature, but was first written on a typewriter — not a computer.

Trent Reznor (?) dropped two albums for free, and I snagged them, confusing Nine Inch Nails music with mistrust and lack of evidence. Listening to the “Industrial Ambient,” I realized those albums were like the last couple of William Gibson novels I’ve read, just give it some time, there’s background building within deeply yet minimally stylistic and nuanced set of frames.

Then, this is the second book in as many days, that has a motorcycle scene in it, but this one? Strangely evocative of a Hunter Thompson passage, about Highway 101 in California, when the strange music starts.

Otherwise, this was just too long a ride, at night on the 101, nothing to see but asphalt and bumpers, illuminated by headlights and taillights.” Page 294.

Then, of the same genre, at one time? Hardwired, which, now in retrospect, reminds me of decades old slot machine called Haywire. There’s a connection.

Reading notes. Interactive fiction.

Good book, excellent if one is fan of the series.

Think there was a Blade Runner (movie) vibe to the earlier novel, The Peripheral.

Same kind essence, a number of different “feelings” to this one. Satisfying, for me.
