The other PC just became a boat anchor last night.  
    Ahh, well change is good.  I hope I didn't lose anything important.  
    I had most of my data backed up, but who knows if I got it all. 
    
Speaking of losing, I have a pet peeve.  Can more people 
    please learn the difference between lose and loose?  That is all.
    
Last night was an amusing adventure.  It was our annual homeowners 
    association meeting.  Good god the kvetchers and whiners!  And 
    then we couldn't agree on fixing just one thing.  Everyone had to add 
    their own Vietnam into the mix.   Talk about mission creep.  One 
    major (READ: expensive) project became 5.  And then the subject of my 
    scary neighbors came up.
Everyone looked at me like why aren't you calling the police more?  
    (I did once when he was out drinking and shouting in the street at 3am.)  
    I gave two answers and then reluctantly a 3rd.  My first two 
    were completely true.  I don't like to call the police on my neighbors 
    -- it seems un-neighborly.  And, I would assume the police have better 
    things to do than come stick up for me when I get my feelings hurt.  
    Finally, I admitted that he really is a scary guy, and I wouldn't put it 
    past him to retaliate in a scary way.  I love where I live and would 
    hate to live in fear.  I've learned to pick my battles and most of the 
    time, it isn't worth it over trucks blocking my driveway.  Apparently 
    other people live more in a dream world than I do.  Dunno how that's 
    possible cuz my shades are tinted violet, but I have some seriously naive 
    neighbors.
