Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Skipping to the end to ask y'all if there's a good place online that lines up the various tablets that are available and compares them side-by-side?

Kathy, the current issue of Consumer Reports (December 2011) has a comparison of tablets.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Just an aside, the pharmacist at CVS recommended an app called Keyring where you can scan all your loyalty cards and keep them on your phone so you don't have to load up your real keyring or sift through your wallet. I saw someone use it a few days ago, and she mentioned the app name today.

I'm loading it on my Android phone. I assume if not that precisely, there's something like it for the iPhone. I think it's cool beans.

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, it's pretty nifty. I wonder if I can get it to replace my library card too?

Also, my shopping list app lets me scan the barcodes of what I have in my cupboard and make a list that way. It's *nifty*. Barcodes. They're like magnets.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

The one she mentioned was Keyring, and that's what I'm trying out.

The status is NOT quo.

Key Ring Rewards, I think. Awesome. Have downloaded and am giddy.

Ooh, I'm checking that out!! Always looking for a way to slim down my wallet! (although I would be happy if it were FAT WITH CASH!!!)
