Happy Year of the Snake!

We braved the snowfall last night and I was finally able to torture test my hearing aids in a very busy - very noisy Cantonese supper club to ring in the new year with my daughter-in-law. With 500-600 people all seemingly talking at once, I was actually able to hear my tablemates and the servers.

The roads seriously sucked on the drive to and from the resto. It is painfully obvious that most people have no idea how to drive in snow and of course, the vast majority have all-season tires on their vehicles. I guess they didn't get the memo that all-seasons are actually no-seasons since they aren't good winter tires and they aren't good summer tires; they are just tires. :rolleyes:

Harley and I aren't ready yet because of all the shit that's been going on the last several months but at some point in the future, I'm going to want to pick your brain about lower cost hearing devices, pros and cons, etc.

So glad that they've worked for you, especially in that environment. I tease Harley when we're in that type of situation that we should just text each other, so we don't have to yell. :ROFLMAO:

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.


- Rumi, "The Guest House"

Santorini . . . certainly one of the most spectacular places that I have visited, is in the middle of a quake storm. Hundreds of quakes up to 5.2. A lot of people are evacuating.

Earthquakes keep rattling Santorini, Greece, every few minutes - Reuters report


But you can see why people would be nervous. Looking south towards Fira - home of Lucky's Gyros - the world's best . . .
