I'm back!
Of course it's hard to tell when I am away, really.
Franklin got me a new iMac for Christmas/anniversary/Valentines/Easter/birthday and then spent last weekend struggling to get it to hook up to the internet, oops. He finally succeeded Monday morning after he gave up and went to sleep and it came to him in a dream that he had ignored the Xfinity security settings.
Well, almost: he remembered that when he fell asleep at the computer and then couldn't do anything about it because Sunday he'd been so sleep-deprived that he didn't understand where I put his laptop (where the security information lives) when I found his cat sleeping on top of it.
It was a weird weekend all around, what with the sudden trip to Portland to pick up the computer we didn't think would be in until four days later. I did see a Great Egret in a pond next to the Amtrak/BNSF mainline south of Kelso, and swans of undetermined species on a big pond east of the freeway north of Woodland when we passed just at sunset. And then there was the four person out-of-it comedy extravaganza on the sidewalk in downtown Portland where a diabetic who needed to eat, a pregnant woman ditto, a guy who went to bed at 4am and one who started work at that time tried to figure out where to eat.
And a Great Horned Owl dropped down over the car and swung around the corner to go up an alley in the Pearl District.
Julia, I can now edit photos up to the limit of the camera's lenses and sensors and the computer's editing program and my own hands, eyes, and brain instead of being limited by a crappy monitor and my ability to guess.
PS: OK, WHERE DID THEY HIDE SPELL-CHECK THIS TIME?
