She needs work. I am checking over my crossword puzzle to see if I missed anything, when my eye catches ‘dueto’. ‘Doo-et-o’, I say to myself. I’ve heard of trio, not dueto. Check the clue. It’s ‘due to’. Duh. A friend and I were playing Big Kahuna once, before we figured out how it makes words, which I won’t spoil for you if you haven’t ever played it, and it came up with ‘tintypes’. ‘Tinty peas’, we say to ourselves. Took a minute before we realized it was ‘tin types’. Duh! We still laugh over that years later. I love Big Kahuna, but I can only ever get four or five letter words when I play by myself.

Speaking of crosswords, does anyone know where I can get a subscription to the New York Times crossword puzzle books. The place I used before doesn’t seem to have them anymore, that I could see, anyway. I’m on my last book. Oh, the agony. I need my crossword books. It’s not the same online. I use a pen, and either am very, very good or wind up with holes in the page because I’ve gone over the wrong letter so many times. But I like using a pen. No sharpening needed.

Speaking of Big Kahuna, too, we both are looking at the exact same thing on the screen, and yet we see very different things. She will make a word going one way, and I see the same word, but going a different route. See ‘elan’ two ways in the picture. She tends to see up and down, and I tend to see side to side. Very interesting. Makes for some laughs, too. Laughing is good. Big Kahuna is good. I have a ton of games on my pc, but I rarely play anything but Big Kahuna with my friend, or Bejeweled Twist or Zuma’s Revenge on my own. I like shooting things and making things go boom, apparently. LOL Oh, I love Mahjong games, too. And Cubistry on my Nexus. Cubistry takes no brains at all. It’s a good game for me. LOL

Was talking to a friend yesterday about how in school, we read about volcanos, but there weren’t really any erupting that we were ever aware of (that we remember, anyway), and now there are volcanos erupting everywhere. But Arizona? Kind of close to Yellowstone there. Relatively speaking. ▶ 6/03/2015 — Arizona Dormant Volcano Erupts plumes @ Sunset Craters – Visible on Satellite Imagery – YouTube.

Speaking of yesterday, out to lunch with my friend Tess. We ate at the Mexican restaurant up the road (Mexican food. Yum.) Trader Joe’s, dentist, Dairy Queen for dessert. Fun day. I have the best dentist ever anywhere. I so lucked out when I found him. As close to pain-free as it is possible to get, and very pleasant surroundings, as well. Almost (Just almost. I am not crazy.) look forward to going. I am all done with the work now, which was very minor. Just regular cleanings from here on out. Yay me.
