it is 86.1 °F / 30.1 °C here in the LA Area

Humidity: 35%

With a balmy 12 °C degrees here in Calgary, I am surrounded by my handwritten copy of my Husband's DS-230, which I am about to enter and print.

I then realize I should cross check all the employment months etc with the G-325A as we may not have them exactly exact (but they are to the best of our recollection).

Could these forms be any more boring? I think not.

We hit the highest temperature here yesterday in central VA in the past 30 years! Ugh... The maintenance guy said that it was probably worse in Georgia.

Today...in the Northeast Georgia mountains....it was 102 degrees F. At 2pm. GAH! School started today for our students...it was too hot to go outside for recess. *sigh*

C.'s in Oklahoma and it's 100 degrees there and he's pretty much a melted little Oiler.

Heck 100 deg isnt abnormal down here this time of year. The shock is, this is only the first stretch of it. It usually starts earlier in the summer.

I'm trying to convince him it's abnormal so he doesn't decide to fly back to Edmonton. ;)

Was listening to a discussion yesterday about operating systems. One guy seems to think that Linux is going to be THE way to go. So many people seem to be unhappy with Vista (thank god I have XP) and the discussion turned to the many problems Microsoft has.

Linux? Apple? Stay with XP? What to do....

I recently got Vista, I had no choice it came with the computer .. I didn't like it at first but it is growing on me......

I remember when I went from Windows 95 to XP, I hated it at first... but then I got used to it...

My laptop came preinstalled with Vista which I hate with a passion. It took me awhile to find all the drivers for XP but I did find them and was able to install XP Pro again with no problems.

If you do decide to go back to XP, you'll have to make sure that you have all the XP drivers. Start with the manufacturer of your computer first to see if they offer it.

If you're fine with XP then stick with it. I've considered Linux except that some of the programs I use for work (design related and expensive!) aren't compatible with Linux at this time... or I'd have to buy new ones. So I stuck with XP.

If you do decide on getting a mac, the new mac books make it really easy to dual boot. So you could run both mac o/s and linux or xp.

You could do a dual boot of xp and linux on a PC as well if you had two HDs or set up different partitions on one. It's fairly easy to do but you have to start from scratch!

thetreble, I think you'd like this one.

aha! This looks good! I shall rent it :thumbs:

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

Netflix has it if you're on Netflix. I'm a documentary junkie. I miss CBC Newsworld's "The Passionate Eye" like crazy!
