1. 
We’re going to take a little intermission from my Iceland trip because I’m just feeling too random today.
2. The picture under #1 was in Borgarnes behind the Settlement Center.
3. I was cutting loose threads today, and snipped right through the wires in my earbuds. From now on I’m going to feed them through my shirt before I pull out the scissors.
4. I lost a button within seconds of setting it down, and found it again by standing up. It was in the folds of my skirt.
5. A couple of weeks ago my tablet spontaneously cracked. I hadn’t dropped it or done anything else that could harm it. It now only senses touch on a third of the screen. I hadn’t realized those things are actual glass.
6. I had originally only paid $50 for the tablet. I ran out and bought another. It cost about twenty more. Of course it was no longer on sale. I don’t know why I just assumed the price of electronics only ever goes down.
7. The new one would no longer boot after three days. Right after a recommended update. I tried everything I could – even a hard reset. No luck. It still gets stuck on the boot screen.
8. There’s a slip of paper inside that says not to take it back to the store where you bought it – go to the web site instead. I did.
9. At the web site they tell you to take it back to the store.
10. So I did.
11. I suppose I should not be afraid to take the new one out of the box.
12. The smoke is so thick here that morning and evening sunlight look golden orange as if sunlight itself had turned molten, and the house never gets bright. It’s pretty, in a gloomy, apocalyptic way.
13. I’m going to start wearing a gas mask so I can start bicycling again. When I try it without I end up coughing my lungs out. Maybe the smoke is making my ditzy?
