On the Road Again …
If the blog site here goes dark the next few days, it’s because we’re in transit and I’m grappling with technical difficulties. As usual. Please standby. Our technicians will be working on the problem. Yesterday I punched something on my brother’s Apple and locked the thing up, core to peel. Took the mizzus (the technician) only a few minutes after I’d spent two hours. Then the wireless keyboard pooped out. I changed the batteries, tried to work through the control system then finally gave it to her while I went over to my old man’s house. He’s got the same computer, same keyboard and lo and behold, it didn’t work either.
Course, I figured it was the network probably down for repairs or something, but accidentally discovered the POWER BUTTON ingeniously hidden in the side of the keyboard. I’d inadvertently hit both to the OFF position. Ho ho, mystery solved. And only an hour or two lost.
Anyway, we’re leaving the comfort zone of working computers now, heading toward Lake Superior where the natives probably have never heard of Twitter or Apple or television. If by chance they have and if I can barter some time from them, maybe I’ll get word out through this site that we’re doing fine, that the ice hasn’t locked us in yet, that winter hasn’t descended on the upper latitudes. If not, no doubt we’ll have a saga to share later in the spring when the floes break up. Meantime, try to avoid the news, faux or real. You surely got better things to do….
