So you actually can opt out of the Daily email from the Arizona Guardian. I missed it because it’s the only hyperlink in the email that isn’t underlined. I’d feel stupid for missing it, except I know that in dealing with users on any part of the web, consistency is key. Anyway, for the one other person it mattered to, here’s how to do it.

Has anyone successfully changed your email subscription settings for the Arizona Guardian? Can you please show me how?
What I forgot to say in the video: Email from the Guardian gives brief article summaries and links to the full articles on the Guardian web site. If the full article text came in my email, I’d be happy to get the email. But I have to read the articles on the web site whether I get the email or not. So why can’t I just skip the email?
Update
I guess at least one other person has looked into this. These are not the results I’m looking for:
And by “this” I mean, of course, the “Modify Your Subscription” statement at the bottom of every email stating that my account preferences are in my control and can be changed, which I linked to as a screenshot.
Anyway, many thanks and a follow to @robb1138 for at least replying. Still nothing from the Guardian. This isn’t going far to convert me to a paying subscriber. Why pay $30 a month when that comes with daily emails you don’t want to receive?

I wish I could see what my cat is dreaming about. At least I can enjoy his quiet little snores and twitchy paws.

Errands
About a month ago my husband asked if I needed a watch repair. It was on his list of errands. So I gave him two that had stopped running for battery replacements. Off he goes on the errand running, and I forget all about it because I rarely wear a watch (I just look at my mobile phone).
Today, more errands are happening. Usually he tells me where he’s going in case I need anything from there too (see above). But today not so much, which I thought was very mysterious, but nothing to be concerned about. So I’m minding my own business when hubby bursts in and presents me with:
The Starkist 25th Anniversary 1961 – 1986 Charlie Tuna Watch
I think I got this watch by sending in a bunch of tuna labels or something. In 1987 I wore it every day on a month long tour of England, Scotland and Wales, along with my normal watch. My normal watch was set to local time wherever I was, and Charlie always told me the time at home. So I have odd associations of comfort and home attached to this otherwise silly branded item.
Evidently the watch had to be sent to Hong Kong to get a new movement put in it. I have no idea how much this cost. I hope it wasn’t much, but these days, it probably was much.
Love
Today I can’t think of anything sweeter my husband could have done than have this stupid thing fixed because, even though it’s stupid and silly, I love the thing.
Thanks, honey.

While the Apple Store website undergoes a refresh, I launched the Apple Store App on my iPhone. There are some new products under the Featured category, including a magic trackpad and a refreshed iMac. Descriptions and additional photos don’t load yet, but you can see the initial photo of the trackpad. I guess the mouse is on its way out?
