This has been a terrible month. The weather has been terrible, then nice and now we are looking at ice and snow for later this week.

I finally got most of the data from the old computer moved to the new system and the new and old systems are moved and hopefully finally fixed. Windows7 is not a good package. It assumes that are users are dumb and it does everything for you. But to a degree that makes finding anything almost impossible. I spend most of my time trying to find data. But one thing about Windows7. If I live long enough to get another computer, it will be a MAC. I guess you should say my life computerwise was better in the old days as I was or felt that I was in control. Today I know I’m not in control of the computer or even know what’s going on with the system.

Need to get filled up on gas for the cars because of the approaching storm. The last ice storm a little over two years ago, we were without power for a number of days. We never did get the chimney repaired so we freeze again if we do have an electrical outage. The cars we can use for warming up if necessary.

 The last ”ice storm” all the electric poles to the south of our place were down at least for three blocks. The pole in our yard lost its cross beam and was split when the other ploes went down. The Electric Company personnel working on the line said they would be back later to replace the pole in our yard. Guess what, they never came back. I think I’ll go look for a stand alone TV with batteries so we can stay informed. My radio that picks up TV stations is out. As it was based on analog, it would possibly use less anyway.

And to think we, the city of Tulsa, are laying off 147 firemen and 155 policemen/women as of next week. We have a moncho republican mayor to go with our idiot congressmen/women and senators. These people are real conservatives.

Off to WalMart to spend money.
