Yesterday I tried going to the post office, but the direct road was closed for some work on utilities. Going the long way, would add miles to the trip, so I tried at a nearby USPS kiosk in a greeting card store, where I bought stamps before last Christmas. The store was entirely closed. So I put off going to the post office till today.
When I got home I tried to get my favorite oldies channel on the TV. For reasons unknown I couldn't get the channel at all. Trying to enter the number from the remote and just asking for the next channel up from the number below it, failed. Today, I rescanned the available channels, and the channel reappeared. Don't know what happened yesterday. The last time I scanned for over-the-air channels here in Tucson I think I got between 40 and 50. This time I got 81.
I got an e-mail today from my niece asking me to ID some paintings my late sister painted at some point. One painting was of someone I didn't know from Adam. I think I know who the second painting was of. The third painting, I'm positive I know the person. Unfortunately, I'm not sure my sister knew who it was when she painted it (copying from a photo). She definitely wrote the wrong name on the back of the canvas, hence my niece wants to keep using the wrong name. She told me in her e-mail that she'd found a similar looking person in a picture on Ancestry with that name. If she did it's wrong. The woman in this painting is my maternal grandfather's sister-in-law twice over. She married my grandfather's brother. After many years as a widower, my grandfather married this woman's sister. It's even more complicated than that, but that's enough to show I know who she was and what her name really was!
