Long time; no see!

It’s been a good while since I put anything on here. I’m still alive, though. My latest news is that we’re going to Scotland in September! Isn’t that exciting?

Tumblelogs

There is much information available about these Tumblelogs such as this. I like mine. It’s fun! It’s different! It’s mine!

Tragic Weather

Sat, 25 Aug 2007 00:55:02 -0400

The news reports of tragic weather in the mid west indicates that seventeen people have died from the severe flooding, winds, tornadoes, etc. It is unreal how the world is being brought to its knees by “Mother Nature.” I’m afraid the weather patterns we’ve been seeing for a couple of years or more are going to become to norm. Beautiful days are few and far between. The weather seems to be reflecting the bad behavior of the people who inhabit this planet.

I just upgraded my notebook computer to 2 gigs of ram and here’s my new Vista score, which went up .4 points. We ordered the RAM from Smart Choice and Ken installed it for me. The system now boots in 1/3 the time it did before. I’m happy!

To Move or Not To Move!

Tue, 21 Aug 2007 16:51:57 -0400

It’s difficulty to know what to do in our situation. We have an opportunity to move to a different location here, and we would like a larger place; nonetheless, we not exactly of one mind as to whether we want to take advantage of this possible move. Why are decisions so hard to make?

It's Raining; It's Pouring

Mon, 20 Aug 2007 00:15:08 -0400

We’re getting some of that much needed rain now. It is barreling down! The ground is thirsty!

Cady's College Career

Thu, 16 Aug 2007 23:27:06 -0400

The best of luck to Cady and her parents as they make their way to Cady’s school. Best wishes to them all!

More Bad News

Thu, 16 Aug 2007 23:20:29 -0400

How sad that the scene at the Utah mine, where six miners are trapped, is worse - ten of the rescuers have been injured by a “bump” in the mountain. There is non-stop coverage of the happening on tv.

Good Deed for the Day

Wed, 15 Aug 2007 22:36:59 -0400

My son helped two of my friends by scanning, editing, sizing, and printing a picture they’ve been trying to mount in a specific frame in preparation for a special reception. The deed is done! Nice job!

RAM

Wed, 15 Aug 2007 12:38:21 -0400

Just ordered another gig of RAM for this computer. It’ll be in Friday at the soonest or Monday at the latest.

Incompetence

Tue, 14 Aug 2007 01:05:49 -0400

There seems to be way too much incompetence in the world today; people are made to suffer because people in business can’t do their jobs without screwing up big time! I hate it!

Dead, Dead, Dead

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 00:21:08 -0400

The battery of my UPS is dead! It’s been telling me that for a good while now, but it just finally got through to me. Now I know what that strange noise is I’ve been hearing at 7:10 a.m. daily.

Good Luck to Cady

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 00:19:39 -0400

I hope Cady’s Goodbye party went well this evening. We wish her great success in her studies and lots of fun a CCU!

Sick!

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 00:18:23 -0400

I hope nobody catches the cold I’ve had this last week. It’s not gone yet, and I’m afraid for the others in the family.

6 Miners in Utah

Sat, 11 Aug 2007 23:33:31 -0400

How disheartening that the efforts to reach the miners have not been successful as yet. There is still hope, but the longer it takes, the less likely it is that the miners will be rescued. I pray that they will be!

Blue Screen of Death?

Sat, 11 Aug 2007 23:30:51 -0400

I was so disappointed and depressed over the news that the Shuttle Computer had run into a “fatal snag.” I was more than happy to hear that it wasn’t “fatal” after all! I feel better.
