A wobbly day


Two yellow roses

Like the Haitian catastrophe, the earthquake in Chile has taken many lives, and more may be claimed if a tsunami works its way across the Pacific Ocean.

On the home front, XP is purring smoothly for the time being; it generally does great with fresh installs, but problems begin arising as more programs are added. I have a brand new never registered copy of 64 bit Vista OEM if anyone is interested; if you are building a new computer or buy one without an OS installed, it should work well. Asking $75 but will negotiate.

As of yesterday, it snowed on 15 of 26 days this month. We had a sunny reprieve on Friday but today is cloudy with snow flurries or showers in the forecast, and it will remain thus for most of the ensuing week. Temps are and will be at least several degrees below normal.

Have a satisfying Saturday!

At least as a nation Chile is prepared for this since they are so earthquake pron.

You should be fine with XP.

Nice weather you have been having.
Looks like we may be getting hammered in a day or two. What does this mean for spring weather.
Cold and windy here.

Yeah, I bet they are more prepared than our own temblor prone cities.

I used XP for many years until I built this new computer last August. It is the best OS from MS, but not near as good as most Linux distros.

I don't remember seeing weather staying this cold so close to spring. Cold and windy here, too.

Thanks, Mark.
