BACK ONLINE

No pictures. They are all on the flash drive, or most of them, or the external hard drive but I have none on this new computer yet.

The other day when we were saying farewell to my son and his lady, I left the dogs shut in my room. My constant can of coke on the table next to the computer, which was on, probably.

One of the dogs-- most likely Conley-- got on the table and knocked the pop over onto the computer. It was at least a half hour before I found it, so it had plenty of time to run through the keyboard into the innards of the 'puter. Apparently Coke is not the drink of choice for Toshibas. It was, i suspect, the death knell for it. I did take it in and paid to have it sent away to be "evaluated". But the people I have talked to have not given me much hope.

So John decided it was better to let me have a new computer than for him to try to live with me for a month while the old one was (maybe) repaired. This is also a Toshiba, but has some features I don't like-- I'll get used to it. It was much less expensive than the old computer so that's one factor.

Took Nigel out for a walk. It is very windy and he liked the smells.  On the way back he saw John carrying out trash and boy, his tail started like a windmill and he tried to run, but can't quite do it. No question whose boy Nigel is.
