Lemonade Fast-Day Six

Some days you are the bug other days you are the windshield.

Today, AGAIN, I feel like the smashed bug.
This time the windshield appeared in the form of a crashed hard drive on my desktop computer.
You can see the keyboard now resting on its sorry carcass beneath the desk.
I am more upset at myself than I am at the dumb piece of machinery.
Out of habit I always back-up my financial records everyday, which is good.
But my photos have not been backed-up since we moved back ashore, last month.
According to Compaq customer service all of those files are likely gone.
I don't believe them.
Tomorrow, I will try a local computer wizard to see if I can recover the files.
Should I cuss or should I pray?
So far I have done neihter.
I figure the lord is too busy to worry about my lowly digital pictures.
For now Shibumi's laptop is pressed into action, hooked to the desktop monitor.

And the fast?
Well, I have been so busy today, loading programs into the laptop,
that I have not eaten, even though Jill has asked me twice.
So it looks like I'll break the fast tomorrow, on day #7.

P.S. Back-up your pictures today. Do it RIGHT NOW.
