Would you believe I finally fixed the laser all-in-one?  What made the problem especially confusing is that the scanner worked from the touchpad, but not when instructed to do so with the computer.  The printer followed computer instructions just fine.  The cause was that, when we cleaned the Cat Box, the network lost the scanner's access port, and there were no clear instructions that to recover the port.  I needed to detect and tell the network the scanner's IP address.  Dang!!  Was that a pain in the kitty  arse or what?!!?  Tomorrow I finally have an appointment with Megan to work out what I'm going to take instead of Gabapentin for nerve pain.  Please expect no more than a Personal Update, and that may be late.<\/font><\/p>\n

Short Takes<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From Daily Kos<\/a>: <\/font>Hillary Clinton was probably supposed to grovel when the Trump campaign affected outrage at her calling the racists, sexists, homophobes, xenophobes, and Islamophobes in the ranks of Trump supporters “deplorable.” But she’s doing no such thing, even after Trump released an ad<\/a> in which Clinton’s invocation of “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic—you name it” is followed by a narrator saying “People like you, you, and you.”<\/p>\n

Instead, Clinton is firing back with an ad on the same subject, which will run on national cable<\/a>. “You can’t lead this nation if you have such a low opinion for its citizens,” Trump says piously at the outset, followed by text asking “What’s Donald’s opinion of our citizens?” From there, it’s like a greatest hits collection…<\/p>\n
