Thursday June 18, 2009 A card deck with five suits would require different solitaire games. I'd been thinking one out, and it needed one more detail. Red cards go on black cards, black on red. Green cards would go on?

Even-numbered green cards on red, I decided. Odd-numbered green cards on black. Red on even-numbered green cards, black on odd-numbered green cards.

I haven't decided what the green suit would be called. I'm tempted to say "lawyers," in honor of the Green Card Lawyers (the first people to massively spam Usenet.)

***To Southwest Senior Center, to use the computer lab.

***Missed the ACA meeting. I was a bit sick, and there were weather reports which included possible tornados. (Not in Minneapolis, but I wasn't tracking well enough to realize that.)

Friday June 19, 2009 To Southwest Computer Center, to use the computer lab.

And saw on the BBC news page that Portugal had decriminalized recreational drugs in 2001. I wonder why I hadn't heard about this earlier. Similar legal changes in the Netherlands get mentioned frequently; Switzerland less often, but more than rarely.

***Up through Sunday, the Wedge Coop had a City-County Credit Union ATM. Monday through Wednesday, it was ATM-less while a Spire Credit Union ATM was installed.

Today, it still needed a bit of work. A sign explained that the new ATM would tell Spire members and members of credit unions in a cooperative agreement that they were being charged a fee for withdrawals. However, they would not be charged. (The sign also said that City-County was no longer party to the agreement.)

The new ATM is smaller; and aside from that glitch, seems to work a little better.
