Personality One, #15

Wasn’t sure this one, or any subsequent installments were going to make to the blog in a timely manner, but the computer gremlins smiled on me. My digital copy, which is a PDF I keep in my iBooks library, disappeared – along with every other PDF, all books, current and past, and stayed disappeared for almost a week. I couldn’t figure out what happened, where they went, and how I could get them back. My last resort was trying to update my system software from wifi somewhere. I tried, but it didn’t seem to be updating. Despite that, somehow, they all just as mysteriously reappeared.

To prevent any further interruptions, now that we are nearing the end, I took screen shots of all the remaining pages, so now I have it in two places. No worries we will finish Don Harlan’s delightful tale.

Bath with a view

Yes, that is a copper tub, and yes, this is my view from the tub, which is why I often take my bath before and during sunset.
