Drill winds through the silent failings Clasp gears through with crimson tears Until the trailing roses swell And fortune claims another trail Another tale too long but fearsome Another snowfall shields roses Silent failings crash more than fissures Silent failings wend away no more......

I was actually smack dab in the middle of a tornado yesterday, believe it or not. I was sitting at my computer when the wind and rain started getting stronger and stronger, then things started to fly by out the window. It lasted about 30 seconds and wasn't a huge midwest kinda twister, thankfully.  Living in so. cal. all my life I've never seen a 90mph wind before, but now I have. Anyway, I survived, there's only some fallen fences in the backyard as damage. The cats survived but were a wee bit freaked for a while. http://weathercurrents.com/temecula/19Feb2005.jsp I know I have to worry about fires and earthquakes, but now twisters....... S

I've made a huge breakthrough in my struggle with my computer situation. I've now assembled my own machine and I got it running tonight. (After many, many hours of frustration--the brand new power supply turned out to be bad, but i figured it out finally) It's got an Athlon XP 2200+ processor, 512mb RAM, and an ATI 64MB video card. It's running fast and strong on Windows XP. The great thing, though, is that I can upgrade it when I get the money. I can get to XP 3000+, 1GB ram, and 256MB AGP 8x video card for approx. $320!! That's incredible.... Working on my photos should be a hell'uv a lot easier now. Ok, that's all....
