Miterwort


Like a compartment on a train or in a ship,  Space in Mjolnir is limited.  Instead of having a TV on a stand in there, it will be mounted on the wall.  I was all for mounting it above the window since the room has 10 foot ceilings and nothing would fall into it up there.  My brothers thought people would be straining their necks looking up at it and I reluctantly saw the reason in their thinking.   Ordered a movable wall mount for a TV from Amazon today.  At checkout, Amazon had three shipping options for me.  First, I don't have Prime so Amazon did their best to coax me into trying it on a trial basis.  If I accepted, shipping for the mount would be free and in a month I would be charged $119 (cost of Prime for a year).   I'm not a big fan of paying a company extra to do what I think they should be doing anyway (especially a company as big as Amazon) so said "no thanks" on signing up for Prime.  The mount would have arrived on Tuesday.  Option 2 was to receive the mount ASAP I could pay shipping costs of just under $10.  I haven't done anything about mounting a TV in Mjolnir for two years so didn't see reason to be in a hurry now.   The mount would, again, have arrived on Tuesday.    I took Option 3 - free shipping but the package will plod through delivery channels until it finally reaches me.   Mount will arrive on Wednesday.  I can live w/ that.
