Bad news, decent news, good news

Starting with me. The hiatus is over (which, depending on your perspective and enjoyment of my contributions, might be bad news). My old computer is dead. Turns out, it's not the getting wet that kills them, but the drying out. The tech guy said that if it ever happens again, rush immediately to get service without trying to dry anything. So, I pass that piece of information on to you as a public service, provided that you, like me, are dumb enough to leave your laptop on the floor next to an open window. The decent news about all that is that even if the computer drowns, the hard drive (usually) remains protected. There's a thingy you can buy for twenty bucks that you slide your hard drive into and presto-changeo! instant external drive. The good news is that someone wonderful took pity on my plight and helped me into a Mac, which is a joy. I bought my first Mac in 1989, and switched over to PC because at the time they were better for crunching data. All I have to say is, it's good to be home.

In non-me news, it's still acceptable to make fun of West Virginia about inbreeding. Not that there aren't enough embarrassing things to report on lately.

Ooh, extra nice. The papers are using Watergate to refer to our scandal. Fantastic. Sheesh.
