Well I have his contact information but unfortunately I can't read it yet. I
may just go to the Apple Store and see if they can put it in my iPhone. He gave
me his business card. So that's basically how that goes. Now that he's retired
he's a magician. Of course it doesn't help me very much because it's visual.
But I think I'm going to try to talk to the developers and see what they say.
But I kind of felt last night was kind of a waste of time to go to that
meeting. Then when I came back home I want on LiveWire. And I really love the
trivia game they have on there. But oh boy some of the questions are really
hard some of them have to do with this weird game called Minecraft and there's
some other games that they talk about that I know nothing about. It's really
crazy. But anyway the guy isn't that much older than me he's only 67. But
anyway that's OK. But he and I can talk on the radio. And I see you're not
going to ask him a question on the year. Not really. Maybe if I listen I might
get a hint. Anyway this other guy is going to show me the keyboard that he has
for the iPad. He said the keys are not in a little bit bigger. But anyway when
I went to the Apple Store as I said I only saw the one keyboard. And they claim
that's all they had. But I don't think so. They should have more than just one
for you to see. But anyway for some weird reason when I came home I couldn't go
to sleep I don't know why. Believe it or not today I slept late but the
construction workers are back. No jackhammers thank God.

Hi Kathleen,
Yes, I've heard from others who've tried to get books from BARD that they're
getting service errors, and I told the friend I was talking to about it that
it
sounded to me as if BARD was down. I, too, hope they get it up and running
again really soon. I wonder if the problem is weather related or whether
they're trying to update the site. In any event, I kind of hope when there's
some kind of intentional update they let us know or would put something on the
site to let us know somehow that the outage is intentional.
I think a lot of us who are blind face that frustration, not being able to
access new applications of interest. Too bad you can't get in touch with the
application developers, but finding out who those folks are would be
difficult
at best I would imagine.
Well, my dear, I think your quandery about the fire dispatcher isn't at all a
new one. The only way I would know to do it would be to discretely ask a
friend
of his or something like that. If you start regularly seeing this guy at ham
radio classes, possibly there would be a way you could get to know him but not
on a dating basis, just simply on the basis that you'd love to talk with him
as
a former fire dispatcher. Possibly that way you could ask him if he might be
available for a lunch together or something like that. In that way, you could
ask him about getting together without having to know whether he's single or
not, just wanting to talk with him about his former job and the difficulties
that may have ensued for him. Sounds like he really was a brave person, and
yes, I would think it would have been very difficult for him to dispatch
during
the 911 crisis. Wow. You might even mention to him that your dad was a
fireman
upstate, telling him where you lived. Hope you at least can get to meet him
for
a friendly chat. I'll bet he is indeed married.
