Part One: Dear Hard-Drive Failure
I had written an elaborate "letter to my hard drive failure" last week when nothing went my way, erased it by accident on the old "kiss of slow death" OLD OTHER computer and then gave up and went analog after my last post here. If I had had a rotary phone it would have been a perfect week.
Then, in addition to all the things I needed a computer for including three events, a Father's Day Sale and numerous inquiries and obligations, I comforted myself by creating an old fashioned blog: I searched books and magazines for topics and inspiration and wrote you all letters on paper. I thought about linking to those so you could find them by tying strings to things and taking pictures of it with my old Canon A1 (the one with film that needs to be developed) or just by giving you the card catalog number (according to the dewey decimal system) so you could find them at the library, and finally putting each one in an envelope and sending them off to you in envelopes with actual stamps via the US Mail.

Nah. I didn't do all that. I waited two days for an appointment, took said hard drive failure to a "genius" and they fixed him all up. He seems to be whirring less and has called off his rainbow wheel of doom in favor of an easy morning at home, taking it easy after his big "vacation". I'm feeding him butter-less toast and weak tea and we're both looking outside at the sun trying to come out.

Which leads us to Part Two: The Rain Museum
The Rain Museum, found while looking at monsoon pictures, a bit of a readjustment of our thoughts and complaints about rain I'd say. Readjusting our ideas and complaints is always inspiring, I think. Happy Monday lovies...glad to be back.
