Bother. I do believe the motherboard in my computer is starting to go. I'm getting errors on all three hard drives and things are starting to crash a lot.

Well, that sucks, Gud. I guess it's good that you could swap out the hard drives and not lose data, but it'll be a nuisance to deal with.

One of my coworkers ordered a 20-lot of eclipse glasses on Amazon for her 4-person family and shared the extras around the office. I got a pair from her. I'm sure that Monday everyone will be out in the quad trying to get good sight-lines. Things are looking up for the local forecast, too.

And hey, eclipses foretell the fall of rulers, so we can be hopeful on that front, too.

Well, I'd been thinking of upgrading my computer anyhow. One of the reasons I was thinking about it was some odd instability issues, so I kinda knew it was coming. I do a daily backup so data loss isn't much of an issue. Important stuff gets backed up immediately.

Oh, yay. Nazis will be protesting one town over from me today. Stay safe, Durhamistas! [link]

In better news, happy birthday amyth!

That reminds me that I need to write my congressperson and demand the impeachment of Trump. It won't do any good, but, you know, the damage he's doing is getting so damn big.

I continue to be surprised that my mother doesn't object to what I'm doing with my hair.

Don't mothers usually object to whatever you're doing with your hair?

Not mine, apparently!

I think what you are doing with your hair is awesome. My total lack of knowledge about your hair should in no way undermine that statement.
