Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

They probably do training runs to his neighborhood. They do that at my place since it's a large apt complex and there are old folks homes across the road.

I thought about dumping it into a pivot table and seeing which have differing addresses that way, but it's still a lot of manual work to go through in that way...

Anyone have any thoughts?
Use SQL, and when you say "mailer", I hope you are planning to use an Email Service Provider and not attempting to bulk mail from a yahoo account or something.

I've never learned how to use SQL. I believe the marketing department is sending out a mailer as in print via USPS. Most of the customers on the list do not have emails included.

I have the list down to ~5000 rows and I'm cleaning up from the top down and am on row ~2000. Getting there!

Imgur gives downsized options from the desktop.

But I guess we're all posting from phones on the toilet.

Not me. I have horrible reception at the office and it's even worse in the bathroom. There's WiFi, but even though my laptop picks it up fine my phone can't seem to hold onto the signal.

I could buy more bike gear with the savings.
We have a Vitamix, I hear it's good stuff.

Vitamix charge for $400 or so appeared on the credit card bill a couple days ago. that must have been the one she settled on. I guess I'll push back my purchase of my new bike to 2021.

I avoid NSAIDS because of my heart condition and reflux disease, but not 100%. If I need them, I will use them for up to a few days. I don't think there is cause for alarm with occasional short periods of use.
