I recently walked in to a room of people voicing their complaints about Windows. One person said that their hard drive got wiped, and they lost everything, someone else said their computer ran slow, and I’m not sure, but someone may have even mentioned a virus…

It felt good to say “All of my computers are fine and running quite well!”

Of course, none of my computers run Windows. ;)

(Ok, “technically” my G4 does run Windows via Virtual PC, but it’s pretty simple to trash a disk image and copy a new one into place…)

We took the canoe out to Aztalan State Park for a short trip down the Crawfish River…

It was a great day for it, being about 70 degrees and sunny, in fact we even got a bit sunburned (which was not good.) The river itself was muddy as heck, and you couldn’t see into the water at all. We did manage to see a bunch of turtles, including a huge snapping turtle.

As far as a canoeing river, it was ok, but not great. I prefer a lot more twists and turns and clearer water…

(Oh, this was also the first attempt at strapping the canoe on top of the CR-V and I’m glad to say that worked out fine as well.)
