So, I wipe away at it with a paper towel and now my whole screen is a gooey messy blob of fingerprint residue, paper towel shreds and syrup...brilliant.
That's awesome! I have not had good luck with touch screen avionics either. Some things just aren't a good idea, IMO.

Cardinals’ charter flight to Boston “significantly delayed” because of mechanical issues. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny and Game 6 starter Michael Wacha had to do their scheduled press conferences over the phone. The Red Sox, meanwhile, held a full workout Tuesday afternoon at Fenway Park.

Thanks,

Well, if it is a dumb question, I've been guilty of quite a few of those!

I've never had an exam at Costco before. I'm thinking about it by the end of the year. The one near me has 2 or 3 optometrists at it. I don't know if there is a big difference in optometrists. I was thinking of doing exactly that, the one stop shopping. I don't know if the Costco guys are any less expensive than others or not. If you have a guy you like going to, I'd probably do that and take the prescription in to Costco.

Speaking of glasses. ... anyone else convince their mother she could order a Buick with a prescription windshield?

Dog, you are going to have to help some of us out with that reference.

Black and White TV? Even FRIENDS was in color, and there was something else about that show, maybe it had a couple of points I understood.


So what is your point?
