Well I wrecked the El Camino, and it woulda been DWI

So this morning, with a snap! heard through the house, Jack the Giant Killer, the venerable Windows XP desktop, left this mortal realm.  I'm hoping this is a temporary death and that Jack can be revived with the installation of a new power supply, and that the neutrinos escaping from the explosion of what is now certainly the Former Power Supply didn't nuke the hard drive.

It would be. . .mildly inconvenient if I lost the hard drive, most of the important stuff is backed up.  And the Book is Safe -- I apologize to the writers reading here, I should have said that first.

If Jack is truly lost to us, I'll be hooking Ox up to the big screen and the Funny Looking Keyboard.  I do NOT have the budget for a new desktop this year.  Gah.

For now, I'm writing on the Mencken Table via Ox, from which I will sporadically be available to the internets.

In the meantime, having done the day's murder, I have chores to do.

Everybody stay safe.

Best of luck resuscitating Jack!

Everything electronic here is currently fine, but the weather !?!?@xxxarggh We had two very mild weeks, all the flowers started to come out, one 20° night which most things survived, and another couple of 70°+ days. Now it is sleeting hard AND thundering, it's 22°, and due to be 14° tonight! Grrrrr...
