I’m still off-line on my primary computer. The problem with being under warranty is you need to wait for them to send the part. I plan to call Monday to verify they have shipped the new power supply — they should have received my dead one last Monday. Meanwhile, back … Continue reading →
I got home last night and tried to fire up my primary computer, but it was having none of it. I appear to have lost a power supply — it has enough juice to light the power light on my USB Hub, but otherwise, nada. It’s under warranty. My challenge … Continue reading →
Here’s the first draft of what I wrote last week. I have a tendency to be too spare in description. I tried to keep away from talking heads. Oh, yeah, and I have to find something for my characters to do other than eat. I know that’s a major “do … Continue reading →

In recent years, the military has begun offering family days in conjunction with major holidays, and I revel in the four-day weekend that results. I’ve been … Continue reading →

Yeah. Me too. PBW‘s had some great things to say lately. You can’t go wrong with Miss Snark. Valerie just got back from a great vacation and posted some wonderful pics. Scott Adam’s Dilbert Blog is a place you can count on for discussion. You can’t go wrong with the … Continue reading →
Texas Snakes: A Field Guide arrived in the mail yesterday. I’m not going to add this one to the “In Progress” reading list. Nor do I think I’m going to read the entire book. I did thumb through it last night, looking at the pretty pictures and reading about “snakes … Continue reading →
