A Crazy Thought

I am back. It is my aunt's birthday today, so happy 76th to you.

I have been a bit remiss in posting this week. I do have things to say. I have been running around with this computer issue. I need software from my brother in law (not a problem) and I need somebody to retrieve my files from my old hard drive. I tried using a device to do just that but the thing would not read the hard drive.

I took it to a low level computer place and the dude could not crack it either. It would turn/run but not show up using his software. I will have to ask my sister who she used. I just want my files, MUSIC and the photos. There were not many. I do want the files, though.

Such is life in a technological age. Now, I will have to get an external hard drive or two and back up all that data daily. I may become back up paranoid. Lessen learned, but it seems so much for the notion of running the recovery discs on the old hard drive and potentially have two laptops around the house. That laptop is still a better (faster and larger storage) computer than this desktop. The desktop had not been used in years, I would think.

Enough about that, how are y'all doing? It is March and we may be witnessing signs of spring with really mild temperatures tomorrow. Then again, I can recall being in Kentucky around this time in 1994, and it being a beautiful, sunny day. It was mild and in the low 70s. That was during the day in Lexington. By the time we crossed the border, later the same day, it had dropped to below 30. When I arrived home, it was to a cold and windy Saturday. That is March, unseasonably warm one day and uncomfortably cold the next. Let's hop on this weather rollercoaster.

Fuck, we turn the clocks ahead on Saturday. I know that it will darker later but I really do not like that first Sunday. I cannot afford the loss of an hour's sleep. Oh well, just have to deal with it. No biggie, really. At least, it will remain dark when I get up at 6am. I like getting up in the dark. Then again, I like getting up in the light of summer, too, so I guess I just like getting up, or waking up. I find it a great way to start the day. Call me crazy.

Ciao!
