–Heard from Doris Fredericks in Morgan Hill. Dave died of breakthrough COVID in Canada after three weeks in intensive care in 2021. CRAP! I DO NOT understand how/why I let that friendship lapse. What a moron.

–Barbecued some Costco Polish for dinner, with Thao squash, Whole Foods potato salad, and Bel Air corn (finally it’s good).

–Bought Eargo 7 hearing aids on eBay for $1,400. Lotta funny business on eBay with Eargos. Same seller has these up for $1,700, $1,600 auction, etc. PLUS, eBay did not charge tax. Because it’s a medical device? Doubtful.
