war OF terror

Has the War on Terror become a War Of Terror? I have a lot of respect for John McCain. He has been there and done that. He has badgered the current administration enough to endear himself to most Americans and to practically destroy any hope of support from the Republican Party in his pursuit of the presidency. And, most Americans may now have lost respect for McCain after this latest compromise with the administration.

Rain...
A very refreshing storm passed thru the area today. The rain was good. We're hoping for a lot more. The front yard is a little brown after the past few weeks of dry, hot weather. Jane is moving things around in the flower beds. She even took a cutting from the banana tree and has a new palm taking off in another place. We could be tropical if only we had more rain.

Computer Crashing...
Perhaps there is some relation to my desire for a new desk top computer. This old lap top has about exceeded its usefulness. The memory is maxed and my photo tracking and editing program is causing it to crash. I added a new 160GB Seagate external hard drive. That too seems to be causing problems. It caused my System Restore software to malfunction. I think I've solved that issue. I still, however, have the crashing problem with Corel Photo Album 6. It locks up? Maybe I can convince the Finance Minister (wife) that I NEED a modern system. I'll keep trying.

Travel...
Not much new in this area. I think our plans for a camping trip to Palo Duro Canyon were premature. Maybe I'll get a chance to write about other places from our past travels. Guess I'll close on that tease. The computer is acting wierd.
