"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
H.L. Mencken

More ruminations, rambles, rants and raves from the downhill side of the mountain.

Just so you know exactly where I stand vis-a-vis today's polarized politics, let me recommend this organization to you.

And I also recommend my gentle employer to you as well. The Barnes & Noble Affiliate Network, which seemed to have stopped working, is back in operation, so the links and banners are working again.

Now, go buy some books.

by El Zorro Viejo (aka; Jim)

DOH!
So, my machine no longer hunts in vain for a DHCP server because, it seems, all I had to do was disable the DHCP client. That was hard! And all it took to repair my ancient (yeah...in computer years, something about 8 years old is ancient) Visioneer Paperport Vx scanner was reinstalling the software. No muss, no fuss...Now I get to go through the joy of installing a new version of Office. No, not XP...I'm still resisting XP. However, I will upgrade to Office 2000.

Other than that, not much is new in my life. And that bothers me a little. I mean, here I read other Blogs and see what quasi-interesting stuff happens in their lives, and then I contemplate my own...dull existence. I mean, I spend 8:30 until I either go to work or her mother shows up catering to my granddaughter's every whim. That pretty much eats up my life Monday through Friday. Then on the weekend, I work in the vinyards (OK, stacks) of a major bookseller during the day--both days. My days off from that job are weekdays...but on those days I have the baby. I dunno, it just seems like my life is very routine and very circumscribed. Now, don't get me wrong, I love taking care of "my baby"; it is just the things that I find interesting would bore anyone not her parents or grandparents to death--quickly. Sorry, dear readers, that there is so little in my purview to expound upon.

And Haloscan still appears to be broken. One cannot even access their website. I visit a few other Blogs which use Haloscan commenting, and they are all without that capability right now, so I know that I am not being singled out...(ok, so a have flashes of paranoia...they aren't too debilitating most of the time...). So, I apologize for the delay in the page opening (as it waits for Haloscan to reply by confirming the viability of the link. Maybe tomorrow...
