Journal Entry

Monday, 27 July, 1998 19:23

Damn damn! I had 3/4 of an excellent entry written when WIN95 locked up on me. I thought that I'd saved it but no...

So on to the reconstruction... keep in mind, the original one was much better!

Zach Garland has started a new ring with an absolutely new concept... "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words"! Well, the phrase isn't new, but the web-ring concept being applied to it is.

The idea is... you have a picture... you write a thousand-word essay about it. That's pretty simple, huh. Then you put the page up on your site (incidentally, if you don't have a site and want to participate anyway, I do have some space) and apply for membership in the ring.

And that membership applies only to that page!

Pretty cool, huh? So get that ol' photograph album out and get busy! To find out more, visit the home page of Picsworth. I'm the only one there right now, and it's really lonly!

I got up this morning fairly early, spent some time on the computer and went upstairs to check the mail, and a little old lady had run into my neighbors' VW bug, pretty well mashing it with her larger old American car. Her car, a 60's Olds, was sitting with the left front bumper in the VWs' driver-side window. She appeared to be unhurt; she walked with a cane, and it took three of us to get her out of the car to the curb. She wasn't really sure how the accident happened, but she neither saw very well, walked very well or talked very well. She said that she had a stroke two years ago. I'd like to know what she was doing driving?980727.jpg

So, I decided that it was nap time, I slept until Karen and Kim got home, then I got up and mowed the back yard. It turned sunny this afternoon, and it was hot and muggy, and I took my time getting my work done, but I did get done. I was going to cut some saplings down that have grown up through the fences and other places, but I decided that could wait for another day. I worked two hours, that's enough for me.

And I think that I'll spend this evening with Karen, away from this machine... since I'm going back to work tomorrow...


Thanx for being here!
