  1. I was actually contemplating going to the office today just so I could get me some Dunkin’.

    Then I realized it was 36 degrees out and well, let’s just say I’m not leaving my house today.

    Maybe one of you smart people can help me with this while you drink your coffee:

    I have this other phone here, it’s an iphone IDK 7? and it’s got some ‘company portal’ (It’s a microsoft product from Intune) on it that I can’t get past. I’m guessing this is either something he found or had worked around it. but when I restore it I can only get to that app/screen and it won’t let me anywhere else.

    What does the hive brain think?!?

    • I almost replied to you when you mentioned the corporate donut run in today’s DOT. When I took Faithful Hound out for his predawn Neighborhood Surveil it was a brisk 22° and was going to advise against it.

    • I called the number on the phone for the remote company and the guy told me to take it to Verizon. He said it’s probably flagged as lost so they might be able to reset it for me.

      • Right?  My car is yellow right now.  We had a window washer guy give us a bid to do all our windows and solar panels & they said to wait until at least mid June or the pollen would just destroy all the work they did within a week.

      • The most common sidewalk tree in NYC is the London planetree. They were purposely planted because apparently they are nearly indestructible. One of the elements of their hardiness is that their roots are very strong so they tend to buckle and break sidewalks as they grow, they snap underground power lines and sewer pipes, oops! That’s why a lot of NYC sidewalks look like we’ve just had a mag 4 or so earthquake.

        Not where I live though. We are #blessed with magnolia trees, planted when this neck of the woods was developed to lure Manhattanites north to quieter, more gracious environs. They are the bane of my existence. Some of them are now these giant four-, six-, eight-story high colossi, and after their brief blooming period the air is thick with allergens.
