Yesterday during the morning we drove from Colby, Kansas to Kevin Swanson's church, attended the church (of course), then drove the rest of the way to Horn Creek while eating lunch, experiencing lengthy traffic jams, and watching the rest of a movie. :-D

Ahhh, thank goodness for local motels that have wi-fi. And for Ibuprofen.

Of Macs and Windows (and other subjects)

In the recent weeks, senior pictures have been part of my schedule. And, as a result, the request was put to me of actually being able to see those pictures. And as I stated recently on my other blog, I would attempt to post them. Yet...things don't always work out as planned. :-/

This evening when I took my brother to his weekly clay pigeon shooting meeting thing, I decided to go ahead and pick up the CD that had the pictures on it. I picked it up, brought it home, ate dinner, desert, etc., then proceeded to upload the CD onto my computer. However, technical difficulties sometimes arise when you try to work cross-platform (between Mac and Windows). Apparently the file the photographer gave me was an executable program (.exe)...and Mac doesn't particularly accept .exe files. :-P More along the lines of .tar and .dmg - those are preferable. Sooooo.........

This file is currently experiencing technical difficulties.

Patience is appreciated in the meantime.

And I urge y'all from Xanga to switch to Blogger. In fact, all you need is your Gmail account if you don't feel like creating a whole 'nuther account to keep track of.

Blogger beta

It is your destiny!

Ah yes, I've been informed (implicitly) to tell everyone that we're leaving for Colorado on Saturday and shall be gone for two weeks. ;-)

Thank you, and a good-night to all. *bows*
