Life without a computer...

Means that you never know when a post might be in order. I have lots of pictures to show everyone, however, blogger does not seem to want to help with the upload of said pictures. Later maybe?

For the month of June, I've been snowed on while traveling to Central Oregon, burnt in Northern California, blown away in Central and Eastern Washington. Good times have been had by all.

So, on the topic of computers, does anyone have any input on what I should get for myself and for the oldest rodent in the house? I will be using mine for work and goofing off. Oldest rodent will be using it for high school class work.

The garden tour is just 2 weeks away and I have so much to do. I think that I shall drink from the Rogue Rum bottle and sit back and enjoy what we have done so far and ignore the rest. It's not that I really drink rum or even want to drink rum. It just sounds good to drink rum with a umbrella in the back yard.

Well, I'm gonna say get a Mac - unless you use a lot of applications that are only written for PC. Mac is so much easier and more reliable. I'm Mac at home, PC Windows network at the office; DG had a Vista PC. So based on that familiarity, I prefer Mac. It's more advanced, works better electronically and on the net - downloads, applications, and installations almost never give trouble, whereas DG lives in fear of new software installations and updates on his PC. MS Office applications written for Mac, incl. Word, Excel, etc. move flawlessly to a PC platform and vice-versa. In addition, if you buy a new PC, you'll get Vista, which continues to be a headache. Mac's graphics are better, it handles images, photos, and music better, and it's just plain way cool! It costs a bit more, but it's worth it. My students are about half Mac, half PC these days (a few years ago, you'd almost never see a Mac), and their fairly savvy laptop consumers. See http://www.apple.com

NO idea on the laptop. I am cheap. I go for the best deal. LOL.

Pc is fine, Vista takes a little getting use to, but runs really well once you get it set up. Blogger can be strange an loading pictures, sometimes it is best to take a break, sip a cold run drink and come back later.

Wild cow and Druish Deities

I have been blessed with being able to drive some of the most unbelievable roads ever paved. Last week I found myself on HWY 108 in Central California. 130 Miles 26% grade 9624 at the summit 4 hours to drive this route This photo is looking west just down from the summit. I could live here with the wild cows. A lone wild cow at the 9000 foot level just making sure that nobody is speeding along.

Today was a good day..

I'm flying home today from Phoenix, AZ. First good thing: I was moved from my favorite seat in coach to a window seat in first class. Second thing: The guy sitting next to me did not want to talk and left me alone on the flight. Third thing: The flight was smooth and on time. Fourth thing: I'm walking out of the gate area at the airport when a TSA guy calls me over and ask me if I wanted an item, because if not he was going to throw it away. And you know it would be darn shame to throw out a nice bottle of...... Yes, that is correct, a nice 750ml bottle of Sauza Tres Generaciones 100% Puro De Agave Tequila. I'm now very...very ........tanked. Thank you TSA. I'm a 40% by volume Woodchuck.

It seemed like a good ideal at the time...

The question has been asked and needs to be answered: So, you all know the type in high school, the "Jock". The Jocks ran my school like so many school around the country. And, of course, football players topped that heirarchy of the teen stratusphere. And this might come as a huge surprise to most, but I played Football. I had social responsibilities to up hold and order to maintain on campus. You might say we were the police, the law and order of the school. We patrolled the halls with an iron fist. The stoners stayed well behaved. The nerds were well protected in exchange for homework. Life was good. Then one sunny spring day a nice little "Miss Gloria Steinem wanna be," who wrote for the school paper, decides to write a story questioning the authority of the Football team. In this situation, most people would of course write a rebuttal. And this is exactly what we would have done, had any of us on the Football team been able to write. No luck on this one. Howeve...
