The e-mail problem is solved. and the notes are coming through, thanks to Dan at Spingnet 1. I still feel like I’m walking around the crash scene with a bruised shoulder, trying to shake off the disorientation, but I MUST get back to work on the deadline assignment after losing an entire bleeping day.

7:25 pm
The second attempt at downloading the e-mails begun at a little after 2p concluded about 7:04 when the internet connection disengaged. I called SpringNet 1 tech support 30 seconds later and was told on their voice mail that tech support closes at 7! I left a message describing the problem and asking them to [...]
The E-Mail Nuttiness Continues

When I resolved to finish this month with at least 31 entries, I had no idea I’d write about e-mail.
I am writing about e-mail.
No “buts” about it!
When I posted the warlier entry today it was 10:40, and four of 30 e’s had come in. I could not read them because 26 were still in que [...]
An Exceedingly Unhappy Crescendo

If I were a betting man, I would bet my renter upsstairs is going to give me her 30 day notice to vacate Saturday. When that happens, IF she offers to pay her September rent, I will tell her there is no need. She may keep it as her security deposit refund.
I logged on to [...]

I’ve Got Nothing to Say
– a poem song
I’ve got nothing to say.
People don’t listen anyway.
Let the loud and lame
Play their slam-jam game,
But I’ve got nothing to say.
Princes, queens and buffoons,
Preen in cozy cocoons.
Verbally inclineds
Murmer from their minds,
But I’ve got nothing to say.
Poets come and theiy go.
Write their names in the snow,
Scribe grand sagas [...]
A Growing Irrelevance

No, I”m not talking about my writing career, though with that title, I could be. I’m talking about the growing irrelevance of the US presence in Iraq.
Some readers know the experience of being a non-entity, an irrelevance, at a party. You get an invitation because the host gets a “charity” attack and lets you know [...]

My friend received a parking ticket today. He says he is so up to here with Springfield politics he could scream! Who does he think he is, #43?
I would weep for a poor schlemeil who considers being subpoenaed to tell the truth to Congress “jizz politics” if it were anyone else but #43 because I [...]
LUNCH!

What did I do this afternoon that I’ve not done since early June? NAAAW. Haven’t done that in years, too many dang years.
I ate lunch. Though most folks would figure the noon meal as number two du jour, my regimen of Ramen noodles with a squirt or two of Catalina dressing and a packet [...]
