Hi Daryl!

 BM>Did, with a few minor inconveniences which I turned into adventures.
 BM>(See my To All post at the beginning of the packet.)
 DS>   Will do that when I read the regular messages. With
 DS> thunderstorms nearby, I'm just doing the personal messages (many
 DS> for condolences on the death of my Mom, and my surgery over the
 DS> weekend), then I'm shutting down. I can resume the QWK Packet
 DS> later.

Yes, you seem to be a bit of a lightening rod!  I'd probably do the same
with those experiences; as it is now just go to the point of having
installed a whole house surge suppressor, supressors and UPSs on some of
the individual electronics, antenna grounds, telephone grounds.  


 BM> DS>  þ OLX 1.53 þ The Weather Is Here...Wish You Were Beautiful.
 BM><chuckle> I wish I could have gotten a copy of the picture of my Mother
 BM>taken at Boston Customs: she was and wasn't paying attention to the
 BM>camera and instruction and it managed to capture her with mouth open
 BM>and starting to look off to the side.  I think she was asking me a
 BM>question.  Just one of those really bad photos that is so bad it's good!
 DS>   I saw one where this guy got an unflattering picture of his
 DS> wife eating a mozarella cheese stick dog. Instead of the corn dog
 DS> with the hot dog inside, it was mozarella cheese.

Surprise!  ...We sort of have a game with the MythTV system here 
(records and plays back television shows).  During a commercial one of 
us might go to the bathroom or get more water and the other will fast 
forward to the beginning of the show.  The system jumps frames, so a 
split-second pause.  During these pauses there are sometimes strange 
'snapshots' as a person blinks, gets the mouth into position to say a 
word, etc.  So the other person comes back, walks in toward the couch 
and their back is to the TV displaying a semi-grotesque freeze-frame. 
Turn around to sit -- gaa!!
