Hail, Thane of Mordor!
Tuesday April 7, 2009 Computers remind me of the farm machinery I grew up with. Except the farm machinery was older than me; some of it may have been older than my father. Some of it had originally been horse-drawn, and had been adapted for use with a tractor. The computers I've been dealing with are considerably newer, but similarly afflicted with senile quirks.
This was my second day with an Internet connection again. I downloaded freeware I considered essential, set up most of it.
***Shopping. One LRT stop away, at Lake Street.
First to Savers thrift store.
Then to Aldi, usually the cheapest local supermarket. Observed, not for the first time: People don't seem to think of using two hands to empty their shopping carts.
Current Location: Minneapolis, Alta Iowa
