A Beautifully Cool Spring Morning Coffee Muses
Walking out to 63° this morning makes all the difference in the world. Blue crystal skies, the kind that only happen after a cool front blows thru. Light breezes giving life to the tree leaves, making them flutter in the sunshine. The rains last night have washed the air clean, making sounds carry for miles…
There’s a juvenile Mississippi Kite preening on the high perch to the west. The bluebirds are making trip after trip to the bluebird house. Chickadees come and go from the feeder. Crows pass overhead checking to see if I laid out an offering. Even the squirrel ignores me as he scavenges under the feeder for fallen seeds.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but twice in the last week I’ve let my laptop talk me into updating Windows 10 to the new updated operating system. Twice now it’s failed. After taking most of a day each time, what I get when I sign in is a black screen with a mouse curser in the center. The mouse curser moves but nothing else does. It takes the old Windows three fingered salute to restart so I can roll it back to the pre-update. I think I’ll wait a good bit before letting it talk me into wasting my time again.
Time for another cup of coffee…. catch you later.
It must be going around. Last night, I lost my wifi connection. It wasn’t just that I couldn’t connect — i couldn’t even see the name of my home network. Lo and behold, the venerable Comcast dude actually got me fixed up — it took a little time, but not bad. Why I was worried about that in the middle of that storm we had I don’t know, but the storm passed and I got my wifi, so it’s all good.
Without my network working this whole house goes crazy. We have three wifi routers spreading the load around and I’m always amazed we don’t lose service more often. With four adults and two kids sharing internet it’s completely astounding we don’t step on each other.
