My first official rant got lost in cyberspace somehow. Rather than try to remember all I had written, I’m gonna rant about how much I LOVE computers in general and Bill Gates in particular. (Heavy sarcasm.) Sure computers are handy (when they work)– I work outdoors so it’s nice to be able to check the weather (try enough differrent services and one of them will pretty much get it right.) But all the horror stories–the kid who killed his mother when she tried to curtail hus websurfing, the identity theft, and the assault on privacy and so on–nakes me seriously question whether they are worth it. And Gates? He is a robber baron in the grand tradition of John D and old Joe Kennedy. Oh well, there is a box of knives waiting for me at the PO, so thus endeth today’s rant. Oh, and thanks to those who made the kind comments, I’ll reply in detail later,

Good on ya, now keep writing … I’ve missed you.
Howdy! Thanks for subbing to me! I get the hunch that you may have something to do with SuSu.. *suspicious*
I look forward to reading your entries!
couldn’t agree more on our privacy becoming a thing of the past. just yesterday we were reading about new lie detection scanners going into airports. they scan and evaluate the color around your eyes and detect slight blushing when lies are told. we’ve decided not to fly. -Kristy
