The view outside was a little dreary yesterday afternoon, as it was dark and rainy all day. But the view inside improved, after a truck pulled into my driveway and the nice man gave me my new TV: finally spending some of my income tax refund. My old 12" Sharp isn’t going to be much use after February 17, so I got me a new 46" Sharp*. Old and busted. New hotness.
*Almost 30 years ago, I accidently dropped my Sharp color TV almost four feet onto a concrete floor. It kept working for another eight years (there was still a dent and some concreted dust imbedded in the case when it finally died) and I’ve bought nothing but Sharp TV’s since then.
I was amazed at all the vegetation too. Posting pictures to this thread could be sort of a bragging thing, you’re not as likely to do it if you have nothing but a parking lot or a wall outside your window. Or no window at all.
Weird. I know one of the guys in the photos, which is a little exciting to me, as I live rather far away in Canada, and he lives in the Bay area. He’s a long-time friend of my brother-in-laws, and I knew he worked for Adobe, but it was still a bit of a surprise to see someone on that page I recognized.
You’re, like, the ultimate Doper - two screens, the Dope up on one of them, cat lolling around, and a Mac tower. You rock, dude!
rivulus, you’re not wrong. I grew up in Saskatoon, too, and there are many similarities between Calgary and Saskatoon (about 200,000 of them being the people ).
