   I was walking to lunch in Edgartown today and saw a card with a barcode face down on the ground. It was some young lady’s Kansas driver’s licence. I left it closer to waist level on a gate hinge with her picture facing out to the sidewalk.

   If it is still there tomorrow, I might bring it to the local police station. [The Hallmark made-for-tv-movies’ version of the Vineyard PD bears little resemblance.]

   Some places had to switch to disposable paper and plastic because they are unable to hire staff to wash dishes.

   Martha’s Vineyard Transit Authority recently installed blue charging plates in the street at one of the depots for their electric buses. Routes #1, #8, and #13 just need to park over them for about 5 or 10 minutes while customers are boarding. Later today I will try to find detailed links about the project, but for now search:

   Perhaps the “Touchless” feature could be disabled by a couple of seconds in a μwave, but that would probably also erase the mag strip as well.

   Although German numbers have different names, the numbers look about the same [maybe a bit more ornate]. Unlike the Asian characters [except their characters for 1, 2, 3 （－、ニ、ミ) etc.].

   Back when I was using the gym, I used the resister color code colors [severely abbreviated] to help me remember the combination to my lock.

   About the pin: I had assumed it would have the same pin as the old card, so I asked about that. No, the new card has a new pin that I could change on first use. That number was mailed in a separate letter which was also stolen.

   My new ATM card was stolen from the mail [Why do they need to expire every 3 years]. I went in person to my bank when it did not arrive, she remembered me from the last time this happened. The thief tried to steal $500, but my account has a $200 daily limit so it did not go through. She was able to issue a new number card and close the other.
