2007

This is not starting out as a good year. Computer problems abound. I did not expect this with a new computer but old or new one seems to be vulnerable to problems. These problems disrupt your lifeline to the world - email!!!! Having written down all of my addresses with the last crash helped but I don't trust computers and I don't trust my provider and I'm convinced that messages have floated around in space and/or my many bites of memory and never will be found. While trying to put my computer back in some sort of a temporary mode so I can get out some communication, my keyboard of many years decided to go on the blink too. Maybe that doesn't bother many folks, but it bothers me. I am a typist and my keyboard is my life because of its configuration. I type like the wind without errors. I am now beholden to a nasty black thing that has no respect for the typist. Errors abound and irritate me no end. I must have my old keyboard back or buy a new one immediately. I refuse to live this miserable life. I can put up with a lot of things, but not a stupid keyboard that has no ethics.

Then there is this darn weather. To say it is cold is an understatement. I don't think polar bears should live in this stuff. I will address this in another post involving Dakota. It's hard to complain because the first part of the winter was a piece of cake and you did not feel desperate about flying to a warmer climate and soak up warmth for your aching bones and repair your SADs condition that comes racing in each year about now.

Oh how I long to join my genteel friends that have turned their back on computers and calmly sit and write old fashioned notes on pretty paper and then attach pretty stamps to envelopes and send them on their way via snail mail. It's still a pretty good system.

See you soon with a weather/Dakota update.
