Long day today. Got my father a wireless router for the new laptop he bought. For some reason it is not working as consitently as I would like. It works-and I have the encryption on-but it has spent most of this evening dropping on and off. Back to troubleshooting.

Quotable
From a comment thread over at John Cole’s place: I’m sorry, I’m trying to be an adult about this, but Sarah Palin has to be the dumbest, least-competently-managed figure in politics today. At this point I can pretty much use her as a litmus test to gauge someone’s intelligence and

Back to the grindstone today-work on a Monday is……….work on a Monday. However, I was finally able to get my pictures downloaded after I had to reload the camera driver. First time I have ever had that happen to me. Somehow the driver became unrecognizable to Vista. So I had
