I decided to go back to the McLeod county fair today. The White Sidewalls were performing at 4:00 PM. I guess they close out every McLeod county fair. I forgot about the fair having a demolition derby at the same time, so I ended up parking about a half mile away in the back lot. I left a little after 5:00 PM and got some groceries. I wasn't far out of town when it started raining. I thought, at least I'm not walking the half mile to my car in the rain. I finely get home, and carry my groceries to the house in a slight mist. I empty the bag and decide to take the bag to the car and retrieve my water bottle. I open the house door and it is pouring outside.

I am glad you were able to go to the fair.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

I might have said this before. Being hearing impaired and analyzing my situation, I came to the conclusion that I would be better off with a higher quality sound system. A higher quality would give me a better chance of hearing the proper sounds. Thus I have a short sound bar under my computer monitor. At my tv I have a longer sound bar although it is still 3 channel (left, right, and center).

For the tv, the same thoughts apply to vision. A poor quality video becomes even poorer with cataracts. The cataracts have since been removed. The decision was helped along by accidentally buying a 4K video, and discovering I needed to buy a 4K player to view it. I don't recall if it refused to play unless I had the 4K tv. I ordered the smallest 4K tv that I could find, and it seems to be the proper size for playing video games.

I've got most of everything else for the autism written up and printed out. Now I'm working on hearing. Before, I would miss certain frequencies while listening to loud music, and then other frequencies would seem to spike causing distress. While listening to the White Sidewalls play, I seemed to be hearing more but at a comfortable level. Granted, I was 50 feet from where they were playing, But I kind of wondered if my hearing aids adjusted the sound level.
