I have trying to get my Amazon Music app to work on Windows machines for about 3 days. It definitely will not work the way I have used it for years after an update on Wednesday that added another rental service. If we had a decent radio station down here I wouldn’t bother, but as classical or classical rock music are not to be found on the local airwaves and it is part of the Prime service I already pay for I will get this miserable beast to stop disappearing every time I restart either of my Windows boxes.

Spent the afternoon with my 6-month doctor’s appointment and helping a friend put up a tent designed for the bed of his pick-up. With instructions written by a 6-grade English class in China and poles that are different colors than those in the instructions, the simple 20 minute job was called after two hours, when he decided to take a tarp to the blue grass festival rather than attempting to put up this tent on arrival. He wanted to spend time listening to music not contemplating the fact that there were green poles instead of orange and there were two pairs of blue poles instead of one.
