listnener and Bill-- Good heavens--your winter weather stories certainly put our conditions into perspective. 49 degrees F at the moment (11:20 PM), and nothing below 40 degrees predicted for the week. Gray and cold today, but it wasn't until about an hour after breakfast that we realized we hadn't turned on the heater in the living room end of the house.
Mars Rover: Creaking, arthritic... but still rolling Jonathan Amos | 17:27 UK time, Thursday, 30 December 2010
listener, ♥ to your neighbors. That has *got* to be a shock of major portions. No serious weather here despite all the threats.
I was having *such* problems with firefox last night/this morning, I thought I'd go mad. It just kept stalling. After a while I noticed that it kept coming back to my facebook page with the notice that a script wouldn't resolve itself. So today, I never set up facebook, and bingo: firefox managed to run like a dream all day. Guess I'm going to have to leave facebook as a bookmark, and only look at it once in a while, and then kill the tab. Too bad they're so focused on making new stuff that they can't get right what they're already doing.
Lord, has it been that long? And they expected them to last a matter of weeks. That's good ol' American know-how for you, the best in the solar system.
I'm so psyched! Two people on the MusicTalk list have said they like the song. One girl is insisting that I add a vocal. I've just written back explaining that, apart from aesthetic considerations, I simply don't have the software. But they're a smart, resourceful bunch. It wouldn't surprise me if someone came up with a solution to that problem. Then I'll have no choice. I'm hoping nobody's sufficiently interested. 8)
Lesson for the day: if you will walk down to the river in the snow in your slippers, your slippers *will* get wet. And if the snow is *rained on* snow, your slippers will get very wet.
What a day. Just as I was leaving for the Library word came that a high school student had committed suicide by handgun at the high school (at the end of our road) as the school day began. He was found in a bathroom by staffers. Today was midterms...and they decided to keep school open for exams, and merely canceled the after school programs. It's hard to imagine that students could concentrate once word got out. Between this and last night's fire, the community is feeling devastated.
Very tough day dear. Some times there's hardly a thing one can say. I know that losing a classmate (gun *accident*) in seventh grade changed my life and the whole way I looked at the Universe. Struggled with it for years, and still see it as seminal.
Howard is first.

Listener, I'm so sorry about your friends who lost their home in the fire. I'll keep them in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteNotes left at the end of the last thread.
ReplyDeleteStay snug tonight, peeps! ♥

ReplyDeleteYouTube is my copy of Fire Fox's Waterloo, which is extremely annoying since I use YouTube so much.

ReplyDelete:-D Puddle.

ReplyDeleteAnd if it's cold enough you will get hypothermia.
ReplyDeleteI like the thought of you back at the house, warm and dry and blogging!
Very nice!

ReplyDeleteIt is indeed good news. I guess he must have decided that he's done just about all the harm he can do. The jerk.
ReplyDeleteVery tough day indeed. A lot of sorrowing hearts tonight.
ReplyDeleteThank Heaven for small mercies.

ReplyDeleteBack on politics, they said on the news that Kent Conrad will not seek reelection. I suppose that means his seat will go to a Republican. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cat. It helps. :-)

ReplyDeleteOn the plus side of this day, and it's significant, Main*Squeeze got some real work in.
ReplyDeleteWe are solvent now through early May! =Whew!=
