Awhile ago I posted an areal photo of where I live. I live in the "black hole" of technology, no cable, no dial up, and right now my home phone line does not function and that storm happened Tuesday.

Its my birthday... the kids had no clue what to cook for dinner... hubby is sleeping off a possible heat stroke ( 36 C+ company all afternoon outside+ some.. not that much really, booze= nap)He is burning, I can see it from here... I put aloe on, but now I just have to wait until he wakes and hit the whole back, shoulders, arms, head and chest! So the lobster dinner, and crab stuffed mushrooms, I *really* wanted, ends up being perogies and sausages, since its too hot to cook much, and without the romantic side of it.... whats the point?
Pouting as we speak, the kids went to their rooms to be in air condioning, company is gone, hubby is sleeping.... and I am FREAKING BORED. Guess I will work on my business, at least the will give me sense of accomplishment on my 40th Birthday.

Hey Classicman, thanks for asking.

What do I do?
There are banks around the states. They try to use the softwares to process their data with speed. Such softwares often explode with a big bang!
......I fix them
(and they also say I am something called software engineer)

Big, snow filled lots are where I practice my drifts and power slides. When I lived on Lake Champlain (back in the day) people would drive on the lake at about 80 and then reef on the E brake and crank the wheel.

Probably vomited in their cars too.

I want to revoke the licenses of today's movie and TV sound-editors...

Whoever thought it was good editing to raise the "background music" levels higher than the conversations of the actors. Maybe it was the same TV ad gurus who decided to raise the sound on commercials way above the program level.

I know young people think "music" never too loud enough.
But when my wife and I simultaneously ask "What did he say ?" enough is enough.

My friends and I would cruise out to the HS parking lot at night with no one there, and do "doughnuts" in the snow. I drove a big 73 Impala...man that was fun!
