The Potluck Post

Weird title, huh? Well, the reason being, is that I have a few unrelated topics to cover. So, without further ado...

Firstly, let me begin by explaining why I haven't been around much lately. The short version is: my computer is slowly dying. I never know from day to day whether it will work or not. Mostly, it takes forever to get onto the internet and after a few minutes, the computer will freeze and I'll have to reboot. I have done several virus and malware scans, but the computer is clean. Next, in case it was a browser problem, I reinstalled them. When that didn't work, I used a restore point in hopes that it would solve my problems, but to no avail. Next, I saved all my data onto a zip drive, just in case the computer decides to give up the ghost. Finally, I started finding what my drivers were and updating them. So far, it seems to be working, but I won't know for sure for a few days.

Flamingos for the Fall

I thought I might be a little whimsical today, so I discovered a few photos lurking in my files that I would like to share. There is a nursery here called Franz Witte and let's just say, they have a great sense of humor. Their nursery is located on the side of a major road and every holiday, to the delight of motorists, they arrange and sometimes dress-up a vast army of their pink mascots. Now, that is not to say that they only come out on special occasions, because you can find them on their front lawn and hidden throughout the nursery, peaking-out at you from behind
bushes, every day of the year.

And yes, we have four of them at our house as well. We have two standing guard by our front door and two more hidden amongst the bushes.
