COMPUTER REPORT... I HAD THE STARBUCKS VIRUS...... ONE SMALL DRIBBLE OF COFFEE WITH SUGAR HAD GLUED MY ALT KEY DOWN CAUSING MY KEYBOARD TO SPEQAK GREEK... AND I WAS SO SURE I HAD SOME WILD VIRUS-- I HAD BEEN TRAINEED TO THINK THAT... I AM ASHAMED..... I DON'T LIKE TO BE TRAINED. WILLIE LETOURNEAU WAS TOTALLY LACKING IN THE DEFEATEST ATTITUDE I HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO HAVE... HE SPENT 2 MINUTES CLICKING AROUND TH ENORMAL THINGS ALL YOU RECOMMENDED.. AND GOT NO WHERE.. SO HE WHIPPED OUT HIS PHONE AND TYOED IN "WHAT THE #$%^&* MAKES TH KEYBOARD GREEK". AND IT SAID " YOUR ALT KEY IS STUCK"---.. ONCE AGAIN PROVING COURAGE AND CREATIVE THINKING CAN BEAT THE BOOK.
WE ALL WERE THINKING IF YOU CAN SET THE SYSTEM TO BE GREEK, THEN YOU SHOULD GO TO "SYSTEMS". AND SAY "PLEASE NO GREEK" AND IT WOULD GO AWAY. WHICH REMINDS ME OF 2 "OTHER IGNORE THE OBVIOUS TIMES... ..
WE WERE. 100 YEARS AGO.... INSTALLING A MEDICAL BILLING COMPUTER-- THE FIRST IN MASS.... AND WE COULD NOT GET IT TO WORK AT ALL.. WHEN SOMEONE SAID "DID YOU TURN IT ON?" AND WE HAD NOT;
SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT.... EVEN IN THE MOST SERIOUS OF SITUATIONS, THINGS GET SAID.....AND THERE IS OFTEN HUMOR. "WELL USUALLY DURING TAKE OFF THINGS FALL OFF.. LIKE FLAPS OR LANDING GEAR..."... HOWEVER THOSE STAND ALONE STATEMENTS WERE PRETTY FUNNY --- THE OUT OF CONTEXT IS WHAT KEEPS THE INTERNET IN BUSINESS.
I HAVE ENJOYED WATCHING TH E LIVE FEED OF CONGRESS THIS PAST ( FRIGIDLY COLD) WEEK..... AND BEFORE YOU SEND ME "WATCH CNN.. DON'T WATCH CNN .. WATCH FOX DON'T WATCH FOX..." ... LIVE MEANS IT DOES NOT MATTER.....I WILL WATCH ANY LIVE FEED ...( MOSTLY DR POL...) SO --- FOR CONCEPT ONLY THIS LIVE FEED... " HOW LONG WILL THE NATIONAL GUARD BE OUT FRONT?" .... SILENCE... " WHO IS IN CHARGE OF TELLING THEM TO GO?" ... SILENCE.....I AM SURE... OR I SHOULD BE SURE.... BUT THE IMMAGE OF 125 NATIONAL GUARD STANDING AROUND THE CAPITAL BECAUSE NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHO SHOULD TELL THEM TO STAY OR GO. I FOUND AMUSING....... THEY THEN WENT ON TO DISCUSS.....STICKING AROUND FOR A FEW MORE SEEKS MAKES SENSE...
------
FYI-- LEARNING FROM THE KEYBOARD COFFEE EPO\ISODE, IT SEEMS THE KEYBOARDS WITH THOSE VERY FLAT KEYS ARE PRONE TO STUCK KEYS BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT TELL (VERY WELL) THAT THEY ARE STUCK DOWN.

SPEAKING OF APPROACH TO PROBLEMS.........NOW IT IS ABOUT RATS..... YOU REMEMBER JUDY AND I HAD A NEARLY PERFECT RAT ERADICATION PROJECT GOING... SHE WOULD DEFINE THE AREA NEEDING ATTENTION.. AND I- ----HAVING PERFECTED THE ART OF NOT PINCHING FINGERS WHILE SETTING RAT TRAPS.... --- WOULD HAND HER A SET TRAP ON A CARDBOARD TO BE PLACED WHERE. THE DOGS WOULD NOT SNIFF IT OUT. SINCE WE DO NOT KNOW OF ANY RAPTOR REHABILITATORS IN THE AREA. WE NO LONGER PUT THE NEWLY DECEASED RATS IN BAGS IN THE GUEST HOUSE FREEZER TO BE DISTRIBUTED BY THE "FROZEN RODENT DELIVERY COMPANY"
AND UNTIL OUR CP'S NOTICED ONE RUNNING AROUND THE KITCHEN.. I DID NOT REALIZE WE HAD A PROBLEM.. AGAIN... SO DONNA SET 3 AND WE GOT 2 LAST NIGHT.
NOW THEY TELL ME --- NO I FOUND OUT ...----THE FRONT PORCH IS A BIGGER PROBLEM.. BECAUSE THEY HAVE CHEWED THRU THE P;ASTIC TRASH CAN AND I HEARD LINDA ASKING SOMEONE TO GO BUY METAL TRASH CANS.... I STOPPED THAT PURCHASE. BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN RAts chew thru metal trash cans too.. AND THE BETTER SOLUTION IS TO CUT DOWN THE NUMBERS WITH THE SNAP TRAPS----NEVER EVER SHOULD YOU USE POIZON WHERE THERE ARE DOGS.. BECAUSE A DEAD RAT IS A PERFECT CHEW TOY --
-----
AND HERE IS ANOTHER ODD NOTICABLE THING TO KNOTICE..
THOSE METAL TRASH CANS OFTEN USED TO STORE ANIMAL FOOD.... HAVE A SLIGHTLY DOMED LID-- SO THE WATER RUNS OFF-- EXCEPT..... WITH ANY KIND OF USE.. LIKE PUSHING DOWN ON TH E LID TO CLOSE IT.... THAT DOME BECOMES INVERTED -- COUPLE THAT WITHTHE FACT THAT THE HANDLE IS PUT ON WITH RIVETS-- THAT Are not waterproof--- THE LID BECOMES A RAIN COLLECTION DEVICE AND IT ALL DRIPS DOWN INTO THE TRASH-- OR FEED--- MAKING A MOLDY MESS AT THE BOTTOM AND PEOPLE OFTEN DON'T REALIZE THE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PITCH OF THE LID IS THE CULPRIT. CURED BY ONE GOOD YANK ON THE HANDLE.

THERE YOU HAVE IT FOR TODAY
