Who's seen my Mojo?
Seems that Rumsfeld is unclear as to the whereabouts of Saddam, Osama, or his Mojo.

Cowboys and ...
The American Indian Movement (AIM) took over Alcatraz Island in the 1970's, and this is what they painted on the entrance sign to the island. They've left it like this since:
Seals
These seals, they hang out off of the piers in San Francisco, they're kind of cool, but they smell.
Things move fast.
Ok, got all the household computers back up and running, at least for this week. So now I beging the process of finding all of the digital pictures I've taken recently.
We were in San Francisco for a weekend a month ago or so.

Talking with the G Man
If a poor homeless person claims that God spoke with them, we generally refer to that person as "crazy" and don't take them seriously. But when the Pope and a high ranking US Army General do it, we generally accept it as truth. Just seems strange to me...

The right to vote?
This is the most important article you can possibly read right now:
"A Quiet Revolution is Taking Place in US Politics. By the Time It's Over, the Integrity of Elections Will be in the Unchallenged, Unscrutinized Control of a Few Large - and Pro-Republican - Corporations. Andrew Gumbel wonders if democracy in America can survive"
How many computers does it take...
...to give me an ulcer? Three apparently. But all three of our computers are up and running now. So maybe soon I'll make all those wise comments and post those pictures I've been talking about.
The wife bought tickets to Game 1 of the World Series, dependent on the Yankees winning, of course. Personally, I think we're looking at Boston in 7, then the Cubs in 6. But don't hold me to that.

In case you were wondering who this new California governor is, you should read this article.

Bad things, good people.
You know how really really bad things happen to genuinely good people? Well, clearly not enough people know that that is the law of the universe, because the universe decided it needed to set an example of someone to remind everyone of this immutable law. And I am that example...
I lost my hard drive this past weekend. No, it didn't fall out of my back pocket, and I didn't leave it in a taxi (though if I had, some kind taxi driver would surely have returned it to me and not even accepted the reward, like what always happens to famous violinists with their million dollar instruments.)
No, instead my hard drive decided to go on permanent vacation. Like John Ritter and Johnny Cash, my hard drive is a fond memory, one which I will cherish always. But it will only remain that, a memory.
So I probably won't be updating this much, and it'll be another couple weeks before I can post any of the pictures I've been meaning to post, of San Francisco and other recent events and trips.
I actually spent money on a legitimate version of Windows XP. Stay tuned, that just might work out. Probably won't though...
