Check out the fire damage and resolution thereof at Swamp Thing's site. He had a paper shredder turn to the flame side and scorch his life.... But his insurance people seem to be into actually providing service to him as a policy holder. Very comforting, as the L&T and I have insurance with Cuyahoga Farm Bureau (instead of Louisiana...).

Joe Biden. Interesting choice - but curious. Hopey McChange picks a VP candidate who has spent the last 40 years inside the Beltway and claims to represent change. In the words of the Imperial Firearms Advisor - "Bah!".

Looks like the MILs laptop has some memory issues. I took it to my computer guru and he can't start on the 682 virii she has on it (she clicked a popup) until we can get past the BSOD*. Of course the friendly 866 number is totally like, busy. TG for redial buttons.

Update! Of course, the curse-your-glib-(lie)abilities-sales-boy gave the L&T the business group phone number instead of the warranty folks we need.. Warranty sent me to TS.

UPDATE!!!!! Got the MIL rollin' again but had to strip down the software after finally getting 'er computer booted. I be no technowhiz but it sorta works well thanks to a patient techie and 3 phone calls.......


I hope the Democrats enjoy their convention in Denver, it's a lovely city. Populated not only by lovely women but by a particularly virulent strain of eco-freaks, unfortunately. But the local scenery both stationary and mobile can be quite breath-taking as well as photogenic. Maybe the Re-create 68 mob will take pity and not destroy the city. Hell, I might even buy a t-shirt.


* - NOT this BSOD...
