Went to stupid Tuesday at Safeway this morning only to discover they have adopted self checkouts. I watched a lady stand there and try to buy her groceries for 20 minutes and load her bags that were sitting on the floor because there isn’t enough room to put them AND the system was glitchy even with the staff’s help. I wrote Safeway this morning to tell they I would be shopping at No Frills from now on because they are WAY cheaper and I expect bargain basement service from them for it. I have to bring bags or pay for them, load my own cart, scan my own groceries, only get the 10% off Tuesday bonus if I have a Scene card (which I don’t) so what’s the advantage of shopping at the most expensive store in town? They are getting less and less name brand and you have to contend with the crappy “Compliments” brand, it’s just garbage so FAREWELL Safeway after 45 years.

I learned a thing today. My home PC was too old to "upgrade" to Windows 11, but I bought a new laptop last year and it came with Windows 11 with all its many "upgrades". One thing that bugged me was the constant urging to save everything to OneDrive (aka the cloud). Luddite that I am, I resisted, and (smugly) thought that when I saved documents or pix that they were being stored locally. Not so fast Kemosabe.
A simple test showed me where they were actually being stored. If you care, here's a very simple test to check:
1. Open any existing document in Word
2. Click on "Insert"
3. Click on "Footer"
4. Choose "Blank" (first and simplest option)
5. On the task ribbon on the top, Click on "Document Info"
6. Choose "File Path"
If your Footer reads something like: C:\Users\roy\Documents\Architect.docx, then it's not being stored in the cloud.
If it starts with something else, like https:\d\ then it IS in the cloud.
You may not care. But if you do, this video will help you to stop ...
