As I know Windows 7 is still running on many crunchers. My question is how many still receive updates? My cruncher still gets updates if I use the internet long enough. Yesterday I got another update after downloading between 6 and. 7 gigabytes.

Posting on a very cloudy and unusually warm P.O.E.T.S. Day morning as we wait for the sun and rain to arrive.

Cheers.

At least we've got 'normal' rain here.

Now... Where's that jet stream pointing?...

As soon as I finish this coffee I'll be off to the post office to pay a couple of bills before the rain coming down over the border gets here.

Cheers.

The only problem with wandering around to the post office is that everyone you come across wants to have a chat, so the rain caught me on the way back home.

Anyhow, it's time for 1 more coffee before I get back into catching up on my domestic duties.

Cheers.

Listening to the "delicate" sounds of the roofers finishing off the replacement porch roof.

Dove, rush, and sparrows are serenading me. With the occasional turkey, rooster, and crow. It's a still and cool morning.

Lo!

Behold!!

We've just had a Biblical brush with the End of The World!...


... As the sun was blotted out! Darkness it was! Our blazing orb was eclipsed!! Totally! A Totality!!

As a Gargantuan mass of Darkness bubbled up ever deeper and higher, and overshadowed us...

We were bereft-ed in total darkness. Bereft of all light!

And in that darkness, there was one voice. A wailing lone voice of Noah be-screeching us to pray!...

And so we pray-ed... (Sort of... ;-) )

At least we did honestly pray for some hope that we weren't going to get too a-drowned...

And the darkness didst stayed hung there, blotting out all light, save for a vestige of hopefulness around the horizon.

We sought shelter...

And lo!!!

The darkness was gone.


This ere' new-fangled electrical stuff is marvelous! :-)
