Not much time to post these days. For the second day in a row the new laptop has been giving me problems. When I tried to turn it on yesterday the power light came on but it never booted up. I called Dell Support and they walked me through a procedure that involved removing and replacing the memory cards. Finally it worked right. Tonight I had to do the same thing again. This is a nice machine but having to dismantle and reassemble it every time I use it is not going to work for me.

On a positive note we have had rain the last two evenings. It’s hurricane season and moisture is coming up from the Gulf of Mexico. I usually unplug the computers whenever we get lightning storms which has further reduced my on-line time. The rain has also kept me from spending much time in the garden after I get home from the office, but I know the plants are liking it. As usual it’s driving the cats bananas.
