It's time to get out the Wellington boots and other rain gear as the 10 day forecast features rain for 9 out of those 10. Even Lady doesn't want to stay out for long.
I'm getting my hair trimmed tomorrow, and since it is not far from the Apple Store I will take the paperwork with me in case they call to say my laptop is ready. I am certainly ready for it. I am still wavering on the iPad, although I will no doubt try to return it. I am surprised that I like it as well as I do, but that has more to do with ease of carrying it around, and the fact that I can turn it on, check for email, and turn it back off within a matter of seconds. The salesman is a charmer, and all of the techs at the Verizon store are enthusiastic about the products they sell, and it is obvious they enjoy their work.
If the cost was about half of what it is I might consider it, but there is no way I can justify the money I would spend for the usage I would put it to. And the plain truth is that I don't need it, Since I always drive alone there is no way I could look something up while on the road. My lazy bnavigator sleeps in the back of the cab most of the time.
Before this drama with computers I actually looked at a few TV's. I just looked and was a long way from buying, but I am glad I don't have one right now. I would be glued to the TV for news of the disaster in Japan. What really scares me is the fact that the same thing could happen here, and not just on the West Coast. In my lifetime the nation of Japan has been devastated by two nuclear disasters. It is almost too much to think about.

There was a misty rain when I went out earlier to pick up half & half for my coffee. I looked for a few other items at the A&P, and since I'm not familiar with the store layout I went up and down several aisles. One thing I noticed...

Thanks to all who helped me test my comment section yesterday. I heard that Google is going to come up with a different verification process that will just involve checking a box. I'm not sure if it will matter whether or not the comments...

I have thought about writing a blog entry all day but something has always come up to prevent it. To all those who warned me about shingles, I appreciate it because I would never have thought shingles could start out that way. I think I just have a plain...

I will leave for about a week in NC tomorrow morning, and I'm not sure how I can sleep tonight. I get so anxious before a trip although this hasn't been too bad, maybe because it is such a short trip. I have the car about half packed, with the...

I dropped the MAC at the apple store yesterday, and should get it back in 3-5 days. Naturally the old desktop doesn't work with the miff, so that left me up the proverbial creek! This morning I went to the verizon store where i bought the MiFi, and...

Time for heavy duty rain gear!
