My desktop pc is still functioning - just about. Every time I click on something I get an error message. But I found the downtown computer repair shop - with a new name, and a new location, (??) but still downtown, and am taking it in to them tomorrow, Thursday, and will pick it up when I get back from Beaumont. In the meantime I managed - to my amazement - to set up Skype on my laptop.
I shouldn't have been so sarky yesterday about our self appointed neighbourhood sheriff. I was grateful to her this morning. I went out to the car early and left the keys dangling in the door; it was fortunate that she noticed and retrieved them.
I heard a bit more about the big black man leaping over the fence - he was stoned apparently. He must have leapt back pretty sharp, Donna waved a 9mm handgun at him (which she called a pea shooter) I don't know anything about handguns - obviously - so just did a quick internet search on them, and they are definitely deadly weapons. Not really something to wave about at an intruder in your garden (or my garden). I also learned that the two men living in the house behind me have just come out of the State Penitentiary (salubrious neighbourhood I live in), and that the barking pit bull had 13 puppies - can that be right? Perhaps that is more than one litter. Donna confirmed it was a puppy mill. If I'd known that earlier I would have been on to Animal Welfare.
I didn't need to make a dessert for this evening's meal, team Mexican - who were cooking - like to do their own.
I am not sure I will be able to write this up while I am away. I know I can't access itsyourturn. The Catholic Diocese of Beaumont have blocked such websites on the monastery's computers. Michael has had words with them about it because he thinks guests should not be restricted. I might go into Beaumont and look for a Starbucks.
