Just got Google Notification of a flight delay. But I had flight down for Thursday. Appears related to an email from my brother on his flight today (same last name). Heart rate normalizing now. Expect more like this.

Replaced broken doorbell push button. Original prob 25 yo. Replacement is a perfect copy with far inferior materials. Unlikely to last 1-2 years. Just in case you believe in perfect markets.

Ported *another* H2O number to AT&T. This time I screwed up port, needed AT&T porting specialist to fix. She spent 30 minutes on hold with H2O, called me back when done. Post-port no data! I forgot to delete H2O profile. Good now.

Would be nice if, when one invoked Air Drop, El Cap would say “This isn’t supported on your 6 year old Mac. Buy a new one.” Instead of, you know, just sitting there and wasting time like Yosemite.

File/folder hierarchy changes made when in context of Finder Search are very confusing. Try it sometime. You can drag and drop to folder, but search will still show files at root — because UI is a mix of flat search and hierarchy.
