Lies, damned lies, and Uber

I'm on tour with my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me TONIGHT in PHOENIX (Changing Hands, Feb 29) then Tucson (Mar 10-11), San Francisco (Mar 13), and more!

Uber lies about everything, especially money. Oh, and labour. Especially labour. And geometry. Especially geometry! But especially especially money. They constantly lie about money.

Uber are virtuosos of mendacity, but in Toronto, the company has attained a heretofore unseen hat-trick: they told a single lie that is dramatically, materially untruthful about money, labour and geometry! It's an achievement for the ages.

Here's how they did it.

For several decades, Toronto has been clobbered by the misrule of a series of far-right, clownish mayors. This was the result of former Ontario Premier Mike Harris's great gerrymander of 1998, when the city of Toronto was amalgamated with its car-dependent suburbs. This set the tone for the next quarter-century, as these outlying regions – utterly dependent on Toronto for core economic activity and massive subsidies to pay the unsustainable utility and infrastructure bills for sprawling neighborhoods of single-family homes – proceeded to gut the city they relied on.

These "conservative" mayors – the philanderer, the crackhead, the sexual predator – turned the city into a corporate playground, swapping public housing and rent controls for out-of-control real-estate speculation and trading out some of the world's best transit for total car-dependency. As part of that decay, the city rolled out the red carpet for Uber, allowing the company to put as many unlicensed taxis as they wanted on the city's streets.

Now, it's hard to overstate the dire traffic situation in Toronto. Years of neglect and underinvestment in both the roads and the transit system have left both in a state of near collapse and it's not uncommon for multiple, consecutive main arteries to shut down without notice for weeks, months, or, in a few cases, years. The proliferation of Ubers on the road – driven by desperate people trying to survive the city's cost-of-living catastrophe – has only exacerbated this problem.

Uber, of course, would dispute this. The company insists – despite all common sense and peer-reviewed research – that adding more cars to the streets alleviates traffic. This is easily disproved: there just isn't any way to swap buses, streetcars, and subways for cars. The road space needed for all those single-occupancy cars pushes everything further apart, which means we need more cars, which means more roads, which means more distance between things, and so on.

It is an undeniable fact that geometry hates cars. But geometry loathes Uber. Because Ubers have all the problems of single-occupancy vehicles, and then they have the separate problem that they just end up circling idly around the city's streets, waiting for a rider. The more Ubers there are on the road, the longer each car ends up waiting for a passenger:

https://www.sfgate.com/technology/article/Uber-Lyft-San-Francisco-pros-cons-ride-hailing-13841277.php

Anything that can't go on forever eventually stops. After years of bumbling-to-sinister municipal rule, Toronto finally reclaimed its political power and voted in a new mayor, Olivia Chow, a progressive of long tenure and great standing (I used to ring doorbells for her when she was campaigning for her city council seat). Mayor Chow announced that she was going to reclaim the city's prerogative to limit the number of Ubers on the road, ending the period of Uber's "self-regulation."

Uber, naturally, lost its shit. The company claims to be more than a (geometrically impossible) provider of convenient transportation for Torontonians, but also a provider of good jobs for working people. And to prove it, the company has promised to pay its drivers "120% of minimum wage." As I write for Ricochet, that's a whopper, even by Uber's standards:

https://ricochet.media/en/4039/uber-is-lying-again-the-company-has-no-intention-of-paying-drivers-a-living-wage

Here's the thing: Uber is only proposing to pay 120% of the minimum wage while drivers have a passenger in the vehicle. And with the number of vehicles Uber wants on the road, most drivers will be earning nothing most of the time. Factor in that unpaid time, as well as expenses for vehicles, and the average Toronto Uber driver stands to make $2.50 per hour (Canadian):

https://ridefair.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Legislated-Poverty.pdf

Now, Uber's told a lot of lies over the years. Right from the start, the company implicitly lied about what it cost to provide an Uber. For its first 12 years, Uber lost $0.41 on every dollar it brought in, lighting tens of billions in investment capital provided by the Saudi royals on fire in an effort to bankrupt rival transportation firms and disinvestment in municipal transit.

Uber then lied to retail investors about the business-case for buying its stock so that the House of Saud and other early investors could unload their stock. Uber claimed that they were on the verge of producing a self-driving car that would allow them to get rid of drivers, zero out their wage bill, and finally turn a profit. The company spent $2.5b on this, making it the most expensive Big Store in the history of cons:

https://www.theinformation.com/articles/infighting-busywork-missed-warnings-how-uber-wasted-2-5-billion-on-self-driving-cars

After years, Uber produced a "self-driving car" that could travel one half of one American mile before experiencing a potentially lethal collision. Uber quietly paid another company $400m to take this disaster off its hands:

https://www.economist.com/business/2020/12/10/why-is-uber-selling-its-autonomous-vehicle-division

The self-driving car lie was tied up in another lie – that somehow, automation could triumph over geometry. Robocabs, we were told, would travel in formations so tight that they would finally end the Red Queen's Race of more cars – more roads – more distance – more cars. That lie wormed its way into the company's IPO prospectus, which promised retail investors that profitability lay in replacing every journey – by car, cab, bike, bus, tram or train – with an Uber ride:

https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN1RN2SK/

The company has been bleeding out money ever since – though you wouldn't know it by looking at its investor disclosures. Every quarter, Uber trumpets that it has finally become profitable, and every quarter, Hubert Horan dissects its balance sheets to find the accounting trick the company thought of this time. There was one quarter where Uber declared profitability by marking up the value of stock it held in Uber-like companies in other countries.

How did it get this stock? Well, Uber tried to run a business in those countries and it was such a total disaster that they had to flee the country, selling their business to a failing domestic competitor in exchange for stock in its collapsing business. Naturally, there's no market for this stock, which, in Uber-land, means you can assign any value you want to it. So that one quarter, Uber just asserted that the stock had shot up in value and voila, profit!

https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2022/02/hubert-horan-can-uber-ever-deliver-part-twenty-nine-despite-massive-price-increases-uber-losses-top-31-billion.html

But all of those lies are as nothing to the whopper that Uber is trying to sell to Torontonians by blanketing the city in ads: the lie that by paying drivers $2.50/hour to fill the streets with more single-occupancy cars, they will turn a profit, reduce the city's traffic, and provide good jobs. Uber says it can vanquish geometry, economics and working poverty with the awesome power of narrative.

In other words, it's taking Toronto for a bunch of suckers.

I've done a lot of birding the past couple months and not a lot of posting, so I'm going back to our Tucson, AZ trip from April. I hadn't been to the Western US since picking up birding or wildlife photography, so I knew I was going to pick up a ton of lifers. One of our target species for the trip was also my fifth Owl species ever: the Burrowing Owl.

[ID: A Burrowing Owl stands on a mound of dirt. They are facing left and looking toward the camera. The sun is low in the sky off to the right, which illuminates the right side of the Owl's face and their back, while casting the rest in shadow. They have striking yellow eyes and a furrowed brow that gives them the appearance of a permanent scowl. Their oval-shaped head transitions naturally into a slender cylindrical body covered in mottled tan and white feathers. About half the bird's height is body and folded wings, with two naked grey legs planted on the ground. End ID]

This was the morning we had picked for me to do some solo birding, so I drove out to a spot west of Tucson where eBird indicated that Burrowing Owls were likely to appear. It was just after sunrise when I found the road cutting between farm fields where the Owls were reported. I drove slowly down the side of the road in my rented Dodge Charger, stopping occasionally to inspect a suspicious clump of dirt with my binoculars. I had not seen any sign of the Owls when a Land Rover pulled up behind me. A group of three folks in their 60s with binoculars piled out of car, clearly more birders here to do exactly what I was doing.

[ID: A Burrowing Owl stands on a mound of dirt, facing the camera. The sun is still low in the sky, but now the bird's face and chest are more brightly lit, showing the transition in feather colors from tan to mottled tan to white as they progress downward from collar to belly.]

They introduced themselves as coming from the UK, and had been visiting Arizona for several weeks in search of all the unique birds the state could offer. The driver was particularly puzzled about the location of the Owls, saying he was "absolutely foxed" that this place with no real habitat could host Burrowing Owls. I showed him the recent sightings on eBird and explained that it was possible the birds just hadn't emerged from their burrows yet.

After another 15 minutes of searching the fields, I offered to lead them to an alternate site nearby. We got in our cars and slowly drove back the way we had come. Just as we were approaching the end of the road, I spotted a small tan creature standing right on the edge of the irrigation ditch along the near side of the field. A Burrowing Owl! I swung the Charger around and flagged down my companions, who had also spotted the Owl.

[ID: A pair of Burrowing Owls stand on a mound of dirt. The one in the foreground looks decidedly sleepier and plumper than the one in the background (seen in previous images). Both Owls are similar in coloration, but the one in the foreground has an aluminum leg band for identifying them. End ID]

We got out to take a look and grab some photos from long distance, then slowly crept forward with my Charger as a rolling blind. There turned out to be four Owls spread out along the irrigation ditch, likely close to their burrows which were out of sight. They were surprisingly unbothered by the cars rolling up to them, probably because they see trucks and farm vehicles driving past all day every day. Once we were directly across the irrigation ditch from the closest pair, I climbed into the passenger seat to take some better photosm. Mostly the Owls just stood on their tiny hill and looked around. Though I did witness one of the pair above fly down to pounce on a grasshopper, then return to feed it to their partner.

[ID: A pair of Burrowing Owls stand on a mound of dirt. This photo was taken midday, with the sun directly overhead. At least one of these individuals is different from those above, as they have two leg bands instead of one. It's also apparent in the photo that the Owls are standing at the edge of a farm field from the row of green plants out of focus in the background. End ID]

I had such a great view of the Burrowing Owls that I had to bring my family back to see them on our last day in Tucson. Because we were heading out of town in the middle of the day, I was confident we'd find them right away and avoid testing the patience of my kid. It turns out I didn't have to worry. Not only were the Owls right where I left them, but the kid had fallen asleep on the drive, so we had to wake him up to see them! And seeing as I already had the camera within easy reach, I had to take a few more photos.

[ID: A Burrowing Owl stands on a mound of dirt. This one is looking alert in the midday sun, standing and scanning the area around the edge of the farm field. End ID]

On a trip full of exciting views, long hikes, and thousands of photos, it was nice to finish the trip quietly sitting in the car just a few yards away from such a compelling bird. And it always feels good to track down a lifer and share that experience with others!

Most Rented Cars Under Perth's 'Right to Drive' Initiative: A Statistical Overview of Popular Choices

The 'Right to Drive' initiative in Perth plays a crucial role in providing drivers with replacement vehicles while their own cars are being repaired following accidents. This program allows eligible drivers to maintain their mobility with a rental vehicle while waiting for insurance claims to be processed or repairs to be completed. Based on data from rental providers, certain types of vehicles stand out as the most frequently rented. This article explores these trends, breaking down the most popular vehicle types and models rented under the 'Right to Drive' initiative in Perth.

Top Rented Vehicles Under 'Right to Drive' Perth

Analysing data from multiple sources, it is clear that certain categories of vehicles consistently rank as the most commonly rented under the 'Right to Drive' program. These trends reflect drivers' preferences based on their typical usage, vehicle availability, and the practicality of different models.

1. SUVs – The Most Popular Choice

SUVs are by far the most preferred vehicles under the 'Right to Drive' initiative, accounting for approximately 40% of rentals. Their spacious interiors and adaptability make them a preferred option, particularly for families and individuals who need similar features to their own vehicles. Leading models in this category include:

Toyota RAV4

Mazda CX-5

Hyundai Tucson

The popularity of SUVs stems from their versatile design, offering plenty of room and comfort for both daily commutes and long trips.

2. Sedans – Efficient & Comfortable

Next in line are sedans, making up around 35% of rental vehicles. Sedans are a practical option for drivers needing an efficient, comfortable, and reliable car, particularly for work commutes. Popular models rented under the program include:

Toyota Corolla

Hyundai Elantra

Honda Civic

These vehicles are widely available and cater to drivers looking for fuel-efficient, easy-to-drive replacements.

3. Utes – Essential for Tradespeople

About 15% of rentals under Perth's 'Right to Drive' initiative are utes. These vehicles are essential for tradespeople and others who require the practicality of a utility vehicle. The most rented models in this category include:

Ford Ranger

Toyota Hilux

These models are ideal for carrying tools and equipment, ensuring that work is not interrupted while a driver’s own vehicle is being repaired.

4. Luxury Cars – A Premium Choice

Luxury cars represent around 5% of all rentals. Some drivers who usually operate premium vehicles opt for a similar experience when using the 'Right to Drive' initiative. Models commonly chosen in this segment include:

Mercedes-Benz C-Class

BMW 3 Series

Luxury vehicles cater to those wanting to maintain their usual level of comfort and performance during the replacement period.

5. Compact Hatchbacks – Cost-Effective Solutions

Finally, compact hatchbacks account for approximately 5% of rentals. These smaller, more affordable vehicles are selected by drivers seeking an economical alternative. Common models include:

Kia Rio

Suzuki Swift

Compact cars are popular due to their affordability, easy parking, and overall practicality for short-term use.

Rental Trends and Availability

Consumer demand in Perth under the 'Right to Drive' initiative leans heavily towards SUVs and sedans, with rental providers offering an extensive selection to meet this demand. The preference for similar vehicle types to the ones drivers own reflects the convenience and familiarity they offer during the replacement period.

In contrast, utes maintain popularity with those who need them for work purposes, particularly in the trades. This sector of drivers benefits from the availability of utility vehicles, ensuring that essential tasks can continue uninterrupted.

Conclusion

The 'Right to Drive' initiative in Perth has made it easier for drivers to access replacement vehicles quickly after an accident. SUVs, sedans, and utes top the list of most-rented vehicles, each category serving different needs and preferences. Whether it’s for daily commuting, family transport, or work purposes, the availability of a broad range of vehicles under the 'Right to Drive' initiative ensures Perth drivers can stay on the road.

Our Life in Place

The blood sugar reading was up to 167 this morning. I guess pasta might not have been the best choice for dinner. Not walking enough yesterday did not help either. I am still confused about why it dropped so quickly before and is just bouncing up and down now.

Once we finished with the morning coffee and brain games, we had oatmeal about 10 a.m. Then Nancy spent an hour talking on the phone with one of her Tucson friends. I spent my time on the computer, where I received at least eight emails requesting financial support for the Democratic ticket.

The rent reminder came through, so I scheduled the rent for October. We’re ready to renew our lease for a year, but we’ve been wondering if they’re going to increase the monthly rent. Legally they should have already let us know if they intend to. But we don’t need to make the decision final until early December.

Starting about noon, Nancy and I walked 2.25 miles, up to and around the magnolia garden, through the neighborhood, past the Upstream Art project. I finally got a picture of the just-finished corner and will post all of them soon. It’s nice to see Harris-Walz signs in some yards. They are much better than the brash alternatives.

Our lunch was brioche sandwiches with eggs, cheese and bacon. Then I queued up a couple more images for the Tumbling Pixels: a photographer and an illustrator, both based in Oregon. It’s a good thing I switched to only one a week. It would be impossible to do one from Oregon on a daily basis, but that’s OK. One a week is a good idea.

I had a brief conversation with Bruce, a friend from Tucson. The call was primarily to answer his technical question about the iPhone image type (HEIC) and the ways to edit it. Turns out his Android phone can do it, but he did not know that right away. I also recommended some online conversion sites.

For dinner we had the chicken fettuccine leftovers, then I went to the Thursday night recovery meeting at the usual time and place. My friend Art was there for the first time, and he was tagged to lead the meeting, which meant starting out with his own story. I’d heard much of it before, when we met for brunch early in our time here.

Art also reported that he and his wife had put in a bid on a house in the Eugene area that day and it had been accepted. They’ll be going back to California some time in the next couple of months to sell their old place and begin the big move to this area. Like us, they have grown tired of their former home and really like the Eugene fellowship.

Leaving the church where the meeting was held enveloped me in pitch black darkness. There are no outside lights, even in the parking lot area. Soon it will be that dark as I arrive. It's a good thing my iPhone comes with a little flashlight, though we do carry an actual flashlight in the car. It might be a little more useful.

When I got home, Nancy and I watched Colbert, followed by the first episode from the second series of “Colin from Accounts,” and we finished up with the latest episode of “Slow Horses.” It was a bit too violent for Nancy, and she had trouble getting to sleep.

Hypothetical AI election disinformation risks vs real AI harms

I'm on tour with my new novel The Bezzle! Catch me TONIGHT (Feb 27) in Portland at Powell's. Then, onto Phoenix (Changing Hands, Feb 29), Tucson (Mar 9-12), and more!

You can barely turn around these days without encountering a think-piece warning of the impending risk of AI disinformation in the coming elections. But a recent episode of This Machine Kills podcast reminds us that these are hypothetical risks, and there is no shortage of real AI harms:

https://soundcloud.com/thismachinekillspod/311-selling-pickaxes-for-the-ai-gold-rush

The algorithmic decision-making systems that increasingly run the back-ends to our lives are really, truly very bad at doing their jobs, and worse, these systems constitute a form of "empiricism-washing": if the computer says it's true, it must be true. There's no such thing as racist math, you SJW snowflake!

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/02/aoc-algorithms-racist-bias.html

Nearly 1,000 British postmasters were wrongly convicted of fraud by Horizon, the faulty AI fraud-hunting system that Fujitsu provided to the Royal Mail. They had their lives ruined by this faulty AI, many went to prison, and at least four of the AI's victims killed themselves:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal

Tenants across America have seen their rents skyrocket thanks to Realpage's landlord price-fixing algorithm, which deployed the time-honored defense: "It's not a crime if we commit it with an app":

https://www.propublica.org/article/doj-backs-tenants-price-fixing-case-big-landlords-real-estate-tech

Housing, you'll recall, is pretty foundational in the human hierarchy of needs. Losing your home – or being forced to choose between paying rent or buying groceries or gas for your car or clothes for your kid – is a non-hypothetical, widespread, urgent problem that can be traced straight to AI.

Then there's predictive policing: cities across America and the world have bought systems that purport to tell the cops where to look for crime. Of course, these systems are trained on policing data from forces that are seeking to correct racial bias in their practices by using an algorithm to create "fairness." You feed this algorithm a data-set of where the police had detected crime in previous years, and it predicts where you'll find crime in the years to come.

But you only find crime where you look for it. If the cops only ever stop-and-frisk Black and brown kids, or pull over Black and brown drivers, then every knife, baggie or gun they find in someone's trunk or pockets will be found in a Black or brown person's trunk or pocket. A predictive policing algorithm will naively ingest this data and confidently assert that future crimes can be foiled by looking for more Black and brown people and searching them and pulling them over.

Obviously, this is bad for Black and brown people in low-income neighborhoods, whose baseline risk of an encounter with a cop turning violent or even lethal. But it's also bad for affluent people in affluent neighborhoods – because they are underpoliced as a result of these algorithmic biases. For example, domestic abuse that occurs in full detached single-family homes is systematically underrepresented in crime data, because the majority of domestic abuse calls originate with neighbors who can hear the abuse take place through a shared wall.

But the majority of algorithmic harms are inflicted on poor, racialized and/or working class people. Even if you escape a predictive policing algorithm, a facial recognition algorithm may wrongly accuse you of a crime, and even if you were far away from the site of the crime, the cops will still arrest you, because computers don't lie:

https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/texas-macys-sunglass-hut-facial-recognition-software-wrongful-arrest-sacramento-alibi/

Trying to get a low-waged service job? Be prepared for endless, nonsensical AI "personality tests" that make Scientology look like NASA:

https://futurism.com/mandatory-ai-hiring-tests

Service workers' schedules are at the mercy of shift-allocation algorithms that assign them hours that ensure that they fall just short of qualifying for health and other benefits. These algorithms push workers into "clopening" – where you close the store after midnight and then open it again the next morning before 5AM. And if you try to unionize, another algorithm – that spies on you and your fellow workers' social media activity – targets you for reprisals and your store for closure.

If you're driving an Amazon delivery van, algorithm watches your eyeballs and tells your boss that you're a bad driver if it doesn't like what it sees. If you're working in an Amazon warehouse, an algorithm decides if you've taken too many pee-breaks and automatically dings you:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/04/17/revenge-of-the-chickenized-reverse-centaurs/

If this disgusts you and you're hoping to use your ballot to elect lawmakers who will take up your cause, an algorithm stands in your way again. "AI" tools for purging voter rolls are especially harmful to racialized people – for example, they assume that two "Juan Gomez"es with a shared birthday in two different states must be the same person and remove one or both from the voter rolls:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/eligible-voters-swept-up-conservative-activists-purge-voter-rolls/

Hoping to get a solid education, the sort that will keep you out of AI-supervised, precarious, low-waged work? Sorry, kiddo: the ed-tech system is riddled with algorithms. There's the grifty "remote invigilation" industry that watches you take tests via webcam and accuses you of cheating if your facial expressions fail its high-tech phrenology standards:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/02/16/unauthorized-paper/#cheating-anticheat

All of these are non-hypothetical, real risks from AI. The AI industry has proven itself incredibly adept at deflecting interest from real harms to hypothetical ones, like the "risk" that the spicy autocomplete will become conscious and take over the world in order to convert us all to paperclips:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/27/10-types-of-people/#taking-up-a-lot-of-space

Whenever you hear AI bosses talking about how seriously they're taking a hypothetical risk, that's the moment when you should check in on whether they're doing anything about all these longstanding, real risks. And even as AI bosses promise to fight hypothetical election disinformation, they continue to downplay or ignore the non-hypothetical, here-and-now harms of AI.

There's something unseemly – and even perverse – about worrying so much about AI and election disinformation. It plays into the narrative that kicked off in earnest in 2016, that the reason the electorate votes for manifestly unqualified candidates who run on a platform of bald-faced lies is that they are gullible and easily led astray.

But there's another explanation: the reason people accept conspiratorial accounts of how our institutions are run is because the institutions that are supposed to be defending us are corrupt and captured by actual conspiracies:

https://memex.craphound.com/2019/09/21/republic-of-lies-the-rise-of-conspiratorial-thinking-and-the-actual-conspiracies-that-fuel-it/

The party line on conspiratorial accounts is that these institutions are good, actually. Think of the rebuttal offered to anti-vaxxers who claimed that pharma giants were run by murderous sociopath billionaires who were in league with their regulators to kill us for a buck: "no, I think you'll find pharma companies are great and superbly regulated":

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/05/not-that-naomi/#if-the-naomi-be-klein-youre-doing-just-fine

Institutions are profoundly important to a high-tech society. No one is capable of assessing all the life-or-death choices we make every day, from whether to trust the firmware in your car's anti-lock brakes, the alloys used in the structural members of your home, or the food-safety standards for the meal you're about to eat. We must rely on well-regulated experts to make these calls for us, and when the institutions fail us, we are thrown into a state of epistemological chaos. We must make decisions about whether to trust these technological systems, but we can't make informed choices because the one thing we're sure of is that our institutions aren't trustworthy.

Ironically, the long list of AI harms that we live with every day are the most important contributor to disinformation campaigns. It's these harms that provide the evidence for belief in conspiratorial accounts of the world, because each one is proof that the system can't be trusted. The election disinformation discourse focuses on the lies told – and not why those lies are credible.

That's because the subtext of election disinformation concerns is usually that the electorate is credulous, fools waiting to be suckered in. By refusing to contemplate the institutional failures that sit upstream of conspiracism, we can smugly locate the blame with the peddlers of lies and assume the mantle of paternalistic protectors of the easily gulled electorate.

But the group of people who are demonstrably being tricked by AI is the people who buy the horrifically flawed AI-based algorithmic systems and put them into use despite their manifest failures.

As I've written many times, "we're nowhere near a place where bots can steal your job, but we're certainly at the point where your boss can be suckered into firing you and replacing you with a bot that fails at doing your job"

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/15/passive-income-brainworms/#four-hour-work-week

The most visible victims of AI disinformation are the people who are putting AI in charge of the life-chances of millions of the rest of us. Tackle that AI disinformation and its harms, and we'll make conspiratorial claims about our institutions being corrupt far less credible.

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

A Few Days in Passing

On Saturday we visited Creswell Bakery again for sandwiches and a full loaf of sourdough bread. In the evening headed out to Marcola for an evening of Scrabble with the Grange crowd.

During the day, we also spent a few minutes going through some more instructions for the new Outlook and checked to see if it would fit in the garage. The car fit into the space, but there was still too much junk along the sides to get in and out of the car easily.

On Sunday went to St. Thomas for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost. The homily was delivered by the Deacon, the first time we had heard him since we started attending.

After church we stopped by Trader Joe’s for some shopping. When we made it home, we had a bit of lunch, and went out to the Albertson’s for some other goods, including cat food and litter and some ant traps. We are attempting to rid ourselves of the pesky little critters that are popping up all over everywhere at all times of the day and night.

I made it to the Sunday night meeting for another week. Three members celebrated anniversaries of more than 25 years, something that does not happen all that often.

There was very little sleep Sunday night and Monday morning, thanks to the ongoing problems with my intestines. After arising very early, I went back to bed in the middle of the morning for a few extra winks.

When I finally got up, I showered and dressed, putting on shorts for the first time, since the temperature for Monday was supposed to reach 80 degrees. If we had stayed in Tucson, I would have had shorts on long before we left town.

Later, Nancy took the wheel for the drive over to the insurance company to set up the account for our new car and to arrange for renter’s insurance. Then we went around the corner to Abby’s Legendary Pizza and got a pepperoni and mushroom thin crust pie. It was our first visit, and we were pleased with the product.

After lunch and a nap, we cleared some more space in the garage so we can hide the new car from the heat. We chopped several boxes into bits so they would fit in the recycle bin. The trash and recycle moves to Friday this week because of the Fourth of July on Thursday.

Monday night I managed to sleep all night for only the second time in the past few weeks. After our morning coffee, games and bagel, we went over to the shop where I dropped off my SSD a couple of weeks ago. They had left a voicemail Monday evening that said they couldn’t get it working or take the files off of it. The next options would be expensive, so I picked up the drive, paid the bench fee, and said, “Thanks, but no thanks.” I don’t actually recall what was on there that I wanted to rescue, but it appears to be too late for that.

Then we drove to Costco and filled the tank on the new car. We had logged nearly 400 miles and used about 12 gallons, which makes the MPG around 30-ish.

We also synced the car with the garage opener before putting it in place. The only problem at this point is the lack of a key for the door from the garage into the house. The key for the front door does not work. We are weighing whether to wait on the rent agency to get around to getting a key to us or simply replace it ourselves.
