Decision

Spicy. Peanut. Soup.

(I've made it before; it's plentiful, hot, and delicious. Given the weather so far this month, that's exactly the ticket - and if I haven't finished it by the end of the week, that's just a bonus!)

Ch-ch-ch-changes

A couple of days ago, I got an e-mail from Madison County Transit. In it, they thanked me for my ongoing support (i.e., buying monthly passes). They then explained that, as of mid-March 2020, they would no longer be selling the passes on their website. Instead, there will be a phone app for the purpose. Passes can also be bought in person at various sites, including one at the university and one in the Schnucks where I shop.

My first reaction was annoyance. I have largely been left behind by the shift to smartphones and phone apps. This is, of course, not their fault, but it irritates me that I am being forced to change my ways to suit the new environment. :shakes metaphorical cane, yells at cloud:

On the other hand: they *told* me they were going to do it, four months ahead of time, and there will still be avenues for the phone-averse. That counts for quite a bit, IMO.

So, I've decided I'm not going to be annoyed with them. Discontent, perhaps; but animus is not called for.
