In the unfrozen North

Here I am again in Norman (OK) and for those who are in the know, Hi Ya'll. Weeks worth of school that could have been very useful a year or two ago. Still handy though. I have to wonder if it is the very nature of man to wait till the usefulness of something is beyond proven to actually get up the whatever to pursue it's use. I've been working with computers and networks for years but the only formal training anyone has sent me through was back in the day when you could builde your own circuits on a card. Could add and subtract but people still used slide rules for the important calculations (see the last trip to the moon). Now the new ME is out (Vista) and here we go again.

Makes me want to buy stock in aspirin.

Do you really like free??

e-Sword is a free bible software location. They will accept money though. I sent them some and they sent me the cd. Try it, you'll like it. especially if you are a fan of the King James Versions.

It's a cold cold world....

It is below 60 again. (47.9 here ) I will be glad to see the 70's again. I have cousins up north (above Monroe, even) and I know they are cold. My sympathies. But look, here comes spring, then summer, then etc. Don't forget the suntan lotion.....

Pottermania has started to build once again. July release for the next movie and the final book of the series. Maybe everyone will give it a rest now. I do have to admit that I find the characters fascinating (to quote Mr. Spock). I was glad to have seen the first movie before I started reading the books. It gave me faces to go with the stories. The characters were well developed and diversified in their reactions to the many changing situations. Makes for entertainment anyway. Of course the encouragement to participate in witchcraft can be read into it so caution should be applied.

Just finished one of the Louis L'Amour collections today. Also makes for good entertainment, but I don't recommend riding the rails or flying death defying stunts in a Grumman either.

Don't forget
