Hello out there. Don’t think many
people read this but I kinda use it as a journal. I am furlowed
right now due to the govn shut down. The govn shut down October 1st
due to stupidity on both sides of the aisle. On top of that, my
internet has been going in and out. I’m working on cleaning
house but thought – you know… I should blog. I’m horrible at
blogging. I think of things all the time and never put them down.
Well – I guess I can catch up a bit
now. I found my last blog postings saved in a temp file on my
computer. I see I left off with a thing about Syria. Wow. I
haven’t heard anything about Syria in a while!
That shot across the bow never happened
because PUTAN (spelling?) of all people stopped it. (For reference
to myself for later Putan is currently president of Russia)
In fact he apparently has been
nominated for the noble peace prize. Really. I think I read
somewhere he was X KGB. Anyway…. He talked (we think) Syria
into giving up the chemical weapons. BUT I haven’t heard anything
after that. Did they really? Has there been inspections? Hmmm…..
we are all focused on ourselves right now – I wonder if we are
really noticing anything that may or may not be going on over there.
Anyway this first post is about the
flooding we had a few weeks ago. My parents had just left for
vacation. The rain started on I believe Tuesday the 17th.
Then it rained on and off for a just about a week. There was
flooding from Greely (way north) to Colorado springs (way south.).
The flood rivaled the big tompson flood back in the 70s. If I recall
correctly 8 people lost their lives. Homes were destroyed all
across the front range. Roads are still closed currently because of
the flood. And I really should have blogged about it at the time it
happened.
With me – it put off my painting
again. I had visited the blue house I liked and got someone to tell
me that the paint was from Lowes… so I went there and got a bunch
of paint samples but wasn’t able to compare them to the house. I
also visited my parent’s house to find that their basement
partially flooded. It wasn’t too bad – but several cardboard
boxes got wet – so I had to move them and their contents out of
range of the water. (It was on just one wall and only 1/8” or so
deep).
I’m sure people can look up and will
be able to look up pictures for years. That and I’m getting ready
to go to the library to get on the internet to post this so I admit I
don’t feel like going into great detail.
Ironically, on my way to the library -
I heard on the radio that there is a company dismantling weapons in
Syria – which is interesting because I just said saying above I had
not heard anything.
So I'm sitting at the library right now
being frustrated because I havn't used this netbook in so long things
need to be updated. I had updated some stuff before – but fire fox
is vs 12 (I hate that they put out new versions every few weeks –
just update it dang it. Don't redo it and call it a new version. )
I mean – 12 was last year so – now at home it's prompting me to
go to 24 and that's 12 versions in a year!
I just clicked to update but I think
it's updating vs 12. And apparently the newest version of flash I
just installed works best with 17 or above so I can't load my game
all the way. PLUS the internet is really slow here.
Yes btw there are way more important
things. Just sitting here waiting so thought I'd type stuff. I'd
also much rather complain about the internet then the furlough or any
major things because you see if I think about stuff like that it's
depressing. I do take the time to pray for people and I do have
times I check the news and stuff. I
Ok now it says I have vs 24 – so
trying farm ville 2 again. I noticed before my whole computer slowed
down. Hmm I'm hearing the music... hope it isn't too loud I'm a
room. Lets see if I can turn the V. down a bit....
Ok did that – but lost connection
before game loaded - I might as well be at home. :( Oh well at least
I can do everything else. It is annyoing though - that this game
has to be SO complex that it can't load and stay loaded on basic DSL.
At least I can type here better now.
Well I never got FV to work. It loaded
– and I harvested a wheat or two – then it froze and crashed. :(.
But Tetris worked fine! FV is just too complex. sheesh.
I'm going to stop now so I can load
this to blogger.
