Yet Another Shoebox Blogging Day

The working world prolly feels like this today...


... but not us retired geezers.  I like Mondays for several reasons: traffic is down compared to the weekend (not that traffic is ever much of a problem here), the stores are less crowded, and there's decent stuff on the teevee.  I have no need to return any given Monday.

In other news... I booted up my laptop yesterday morning for the first time since early February.  I was good to go after about six hours, 78 (!) Windows updates, two iTunes updates, gawd-only-knows-how-many AV updates, and three reboots.  I don't think I'm gonna go six months without firing up the laptop ever again.

Yesterday was yet another brilliant day, weather-wise, here on The High Plains o' New Mexico.  We've been unseasonably cool for the past week with highs only reaching the mid-80s, if that.  We also received more rain this past month and my gut tells me this has been the wettest summer since I arrived here in P-Ville.  My gut might could be wrong, however:



Well, now.  This year is only average if one can believe the source data.  May and July were definitely wetter than most but the other months this year were slightly below average.  So much for my "gut feel," eh?

  1. Snerk, surprised you're finished with the updates... ;-) And I'm looking forward to 'enjoying' Mondays...

    1. I was semi-amazed at just how many updates there were over a six month period. You don't tend to notice these things when they happen on an incremental basis.

  2. PHG's been using the laptop here, so it's been updated routinely.
    Before, if I was going to use it, I would have to boot up a day ahead of time.

    I gotta see if I can find those graphs for this neck of the woods... out of pure curiosity, of course.

    1. Oh, and Monday's any day I say it is (YMMV).

    2. My mileage doesn't vary at ALL in this space. And... I'm pretty sure you can find the graphs you're looking for at that "might could be wrong" link I posted... just punch in "Anderson" in place o' P-Ville.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
