Nuts and glitches 5/23/2011 2:46:02 PM
About my bio tag The world is going nuts, Mother Nature, World Leaders, VIPs, Celebrity Folks...dollars and cents..all so far removed from reasonable I just want to play ostrich...
I'm sort of succeeding because thanks to an upgrade - upgrades no longer mean improvements - I've removed myself from TV pleasures...yes, I've been chartered...er, cheated...out of my ability to tape my favorite shows, in particular Castle. How come? well, our cable network provider moved the cable guide channel out of our range and when the husband called to complain they told him to 'upgrade' to their digital system which requires a black box..the black box from hell.
My old VCR worked just fine Before the BB...a failed installation, another tech visit, three phone calls later, Their verdict was Dust in my VCR was the culprit...yeah, right...No signal is more like it..I bought a new VCR and it doesn't get a signal either...returned it and gave up...too much aggravation for me.
Phone line to the computer went dead... a bird had infiltrated a box a whole block away..at least that could be fixed...but the super storms...now they are a different story..today 75% of a town in Missouri was wiped out, including a hospital...
The devastation is horrendous...within one afternoon...last night I wrote a new tag here for my bio about letting the four winds blow..guess one has to let them blow..no way to stop them..or the rains...
So I have not been at the computer much in recent weeks...way behind my work, but that is insignificant...
As for the news, on all fronts...it's just depressing and alarming...
I never liked the 'reading is an escape' promo formula..it implies one has to escape something to want to read, but looking at it as a distraction..a feel good getting away from it all, I can see some merit in the buzz...
The first mosqito bite marks my face ..darn large mosquito too...evidently not impressed by lemony scents...a large flying bug on my leg...summer is almost here...at least flowers are finally for sale around here...a delay due to bad weather...
On that note, stay safe..s.top shaking your head at the folly of man and nature and take a break from whatever you are doing.
