On the way to the library today I stopped at Target and bought a high-speed file share cable. Theoretically I can simply move the two computers close together and plug in the USB cables, and do a Mac to Mac transfer of files - plug and play, no software to install. I had intended to just buy another USB flash drive since I think I messed up the one I was using yesterday, but this file share cable will just get it all done much more quickly. I don't feel like working with it just yet, so I'll probably open it up tomorrow morning.
I returned the Sue Grafton and Margaret Truman mysteries, unread, to the library. I started on one that seemed interesting, but I could tell after a few chapters there was going to be some heavy violence ahead. I just don't have the stomach any more for things like that, so I found some mysteries with a witchy theme, that are usually funny, little if any graphic description of violence or gore, and are usually fun to read. Best of all, I can close them and go to sleep without thinking of bad things and violence.
I also found an interesting looking paperback in the Friends of the Library book sale - the books all cost only $.25, and I hope to accumulate a stack of them over the coming months to take with me to Lassen. I can just leave them at the cabin for future camp hosts.
It is raining again and it looks like tomorrow could be more of the same, with full sun possibly next Tuesday. After a couple of days that crept up into the 60's it's not easy to go back to the 50's now, but it could be much worse.
Even though I'm not transferring music this evening, I'm going to listen to some good tunes, starting with Doc Watson, and then maybe a little of Merle Haggard and Willie, or maybe a classical trumpet concerto!
The calendar says tomorrow is going to be Friday, but don't believe it! There's a conspiracy somewhere out there.

The day has been a little overcast at times, but it's 65 degrees so I won't complain. I went to get a few birthday cards at Target, and also dropped by the library where I checked out four books on quilting. Target could have been...

I'm having an easy day - stayed in bed a half hour longer and that set the tone for the entire day, I think. I took a cup of coffee and one of my books out to the front porch, but after sitting there a minute I decided to go sit at the back...

I took a stack of books back to the library this morning and got another stack to take home. They are all paperback mysteries, not the scary kind but with themes, such as cooking, B&B, quilters, etc. Usually they amount to a fun read and...

All I've done today was laundry, 2 loads, which is easy enough except for having to carry it back and forth across the street to the dryer. It's heavy when it's wet! I will have another load to do tomorrow if I manage to get the...
