Dianne is busy packing. Her flight leaves at 6:30 a.m. tomorrow; meaning we will have to have Dianne at the airport by 5:OO a.m. to have he go through the security stuff. Maybe I’ll just sleep in my clothes since I’ll be dropping her off. Then I’ll come back and crash. I doubt that I will however, seems once I’m up I up for the day. So I’ll be on my own starting tomorrow for, almost two weeks.
I spent part of the day burning disks for Dianne. She wanted a ton of images burnt to CD rom. The burning was not a problem finding images posed to be problematic. I must admit my hard drives are a mess—especially after going to this new system a year or so ago and then “nuking” the drive a couple f months ago. I thought I had most of the images of any consequence backed up. Well I could find them readily. Lucky for me though I had the images on my lap top and finally found them. I wonder if your hard drives end up mirroring your brain. I this is the case my brain is a mess. My brain feels like a mess from time to time and feels a strong need to be organized if not totally reformatted. I noticed that many times when I down load images from my camera I not only down load the folder from the photo shoot I almost always make a copy of the original, naming the new folder something I will be able to recognize the contents by later. When I did an image search the search resulted in 20,000 plus images. Now I am going to have to spend a day or so deleting files. Maybe I’ll wait for a cold snowy day next winter. I still have universes of space left on my hard drives.
The other part of the day I actually left the house and visited my neighbor Albert. The temps are stabilizing wind died down to the point where I could stand sitting in his drive way visiting. Really enjoy our talks—we rarely speak of things political but today we got into the whole Hispanic labor thing. Like I said I really like Al but he can be conservative at times. I think Al would close the boarders if possible. I just do not buy it though. These laborers are here for a reason: because we keep paying them. When we stop paying them the worker will leave. The conservative right keeps bitching and moaning about the undocumented workers but the conservative right owns the small business who keep hiring the undocumented. Go figure. Well Al and I are smart enough to back away from the topic be fore anything got out of hand.
Well, I had better go help Dianne where I can. I can make dinner if nothing else—something simple maybe scrambled eggs and toast.
