New blog--come on over!

HA went all of one day and part of another and then someone said--well, now what? My buds at the NYT blogs sort of encouraged me to start a new site on how to cope with the "You Know." It's called Do the Hopey Copey. No expensive pix--will make do with what I have or people will let me have. And you can write a post if you want to. Come on over. Hey, a chance to do free work--does it get any better?

Ack--time to put this out of its misery?

...HA's sister doesn't even go to this blog. Your sister HAS to go to your blog.

...Same for my best friend.

...The pix cost a buck a day and we are all going down the toity moneywise.

...HA could do it without pix. Does anyone care? Anyone out there?

...Bueller? BUELLER?

...How pathetic is this?

..Advice?

...HA ran this two days ago--apparently no advice, no readers, so parting is such...a necessity.

...Don't take any counterfeit pills, or any pills you can avoid, really. Read studies. Question doctors. Look them up before you go there.

...And please take care of yourselves.

...If anyone is reading this...that is.

Tracking grandma

…HA’s mother can’t remember a lick, but is fully mobile. At one facility, she did get out a locked front door. Should we LoJack her?

…Writing in the WSJ, Feb 10, 2009, Philip Shishkin talks about “search-and-rescue” technology.

…Seriously, LoJack has come up with a radio-based locator for people.

…Some 18,000 people are using a wristband system by a competitor.

…That leaves 5.2 million people with Alzheimer’s and a raft of autistic kids as a possible market.

…The newspapers do occasionally run a story of a kid or old person lost or dying of the cold.

…One sheriff in Illinois even raised money over 5 years to get the equipment for 11 people in his community.

…He says he did it to save time—each search took 10-12 hours.

…Each company says its product is better—no interference from wild animals also wearing a device, one bragged. No interference from TV channels, said another.

…Wild animals near a runaway old person? Hmmmm, this might be worth a gander.
