Say cheese.
2 What I posted on BOTH Facebook pages was merely an advertisement for an article that didn't exist.
3 Ah well.
4 I tried to catch coincidences during the flurry of coincidences that hit me in the spirtual kisser.
5 I likened them to a drizzle that turned into a cloudburst that I tried catching in my hat.
6 Any time the coincidences happen I try to catch them, but I was typing it all up like a madman.
7 I caught some things, lost my place as to which hit first, and even mentioned the same thing more than once.
8 They disappear fast because even the most tuned in people won't sit and listen to that sort of stuff for very long.
9 The deal about posting the DN is that I have to push a publish/share button on whatever this blogspot thingy is. If I forget, then it delivers today's headlines but yesterday's news.
10 Anybody lookin'?
11 <crickets>
12 See there?
13 Even the crickets have bounced.
14 In some odd way I guess it's all good.
15 Someone somewhere gets it.
16 I guess that's all that matters.
17 Moving On, Part One: On Sunday night I needed to get over to Safeway for something or other.
18 No crowds. I got easy parking.
19 When I came out I saw that there were still plenty of parking spaces up close when I saw some guy in a pickup fly around the corner and back into a space, even though he could have driven forward through two spaces and been facing out.
20 I immediately thought, "What a moron!"
21 Suddenly there was a commotion. He stopped with his truck backed a third of the way in, and he told his son to get out of the truck and move a shopping cart that was in the way.
22 Mind you there must have been thirty empty spaces all around the guy, but he yelled out the window for his son to move the shopping cart.
23 I got in my car, drove through two spaces and was on my way out of the parking lot when I looked over.
24 The kid apparently engaged in an argument with the guy, so it wound up taking still more time for him to back into the parking space, presumably so that he could get out more quickly when he finished his shopping.
25 Why did he back into the space to begin with?
26 Why did he chose to back into a space that had a shopping cart in it?
27 It is fun watching stupidity play itself out. I thought about busting out some popcorn and Milk Duds.
28 Why do people back into spaces? It seems to me they gain utterly no time in the long run.
29 That always amuses me.
30 But pride myself in being a card-carrying simpleton.
31 Moving On, Part Two: Has anyone else's computer stopped only to be interrupted by double-window surveys?
32 Every once in a while my computer stops doing whatever it is it's supposed to be doing and allows some survey dude to pop in and interrupt things. They play this Mario Brothers music and ask me to participate.
33 My guess is they're trying to sell me something. Genius over here.
34 Outta hand. OUTTA fddsafadfdsfkg hand.
35 flkfdjfkdjfa That's the digital version of flipping your fingers over your lips and repeating the word "bubble."
36 It's Wednesday. Go easy.
37 Moving On, Part 3: I finally got my Apple Mac Pro going thanks to Nathan.
38 It's weird changing to Apple. The first thing I did was Google an Apple intro overview on You Tube. I got some British/Aussie guy who was testing out his first "How to" video. He had some sort of lisp, only it seemed to have an odd accent too.
39 You can't make this stuff up.
40 It wasn't bad. I haven't had an Apple since my early days at YB. I learned on an Apple, but I remember some condescending IBM tech guy telling me at the time, "It's a PC world, man."
41
42 I did this piece on my now "old" T-O-S-H-I-B-A last night. It will no longer be a PC world, in my eyes.
43 I bought this turkey in April. A Geek Squad dude declared it dead the other night, and refused to discuss any sort of replacement, despite it being under warranty 'til April.
44 If that's not good customer service I don't know what is.
45 Fine.
46 I'm looking forward to hurling this thing into that canyon you see on Highway 50 when you first view Lake Tahoe.
47 It'll be in July. People will think the aliens are here. It'll be worth whatever money I wasted on this thing.
48 Waste of money? I imagine. But hey.
49 It's an Apple world, man.
50 Have a GREAT Wednesday everybody.
51 Fly low.
52 We'll see you again.
53 Peace.
~H~
