One More Detour on the Writing Road

I managed to wreck the protective shield I bought for my iPad because the damned thing was flipping welded to its stupid backing. It came in a tube, and so was all curled up, which made unpeeling it that much more difficult. First it stuck to itself, then it stuck to me. It comes with a spray that I was supposed to spray all over my hands and the shield itself to prevent fingerprint transfer. I was then supposed to apply the wet shield to my iPad. I'm sure the liquid didn't present any type of compatibility issue, but I still didn't like the idea of slapping a wet piece of plastic on said iPad. Which is a moot point because the adhesive surface nailed my wrist as I was pulling it, and came away with a nice imprint of same. So it's toast, because there is no room for error with this thing.

I think I'm going to buy a couple of nice, cheap shields.

If the area around Ravinia is anything like it is here at Chez Smith, folks are enjoying temps in the lo-mid 80s, lower humidities, and a breeze that actually qualifies as cool. Such a difference from last night's steam bath. I picked the wrong night to go.
