Another fine mess...

The local "gang of four" (me, Mike L., Olga P., and Galina V.) have arranged to meet tonight at the Pappadeaux in Kemah at around 7:45 pm. Both for that reason, and the fact that I was tired, caused me to fall asleep at 10:30 am after returning home from my shift. Two hours later, fate managed to have me awakened, despite my having turned off all the phones. The postman came banging on the door with a delivery.

So, after spending an hour tossing and turning in a dark room (the aluminum foil crinkles, but does not admit light), I've gotten up to do a cursory e-mail check, have a bite to eat, and down some melatonin. On the e-mail front, there are lots of messages for me claiming to be bounces of virus-infected messages I purportedly sent to various people I've never heard of. Either someone is sending such mail with my name as the sender (not hard to do), or these are attempts to get me to open the message (which I will not do). All such messages went directly into the trash bitbucket. In other aspects, the mail was unremarkable.

I can hear thunder in the distance above the sound of the air conditioning system, but I'm not up to getting dressed to go outside and see what's developing, or in what direction. Whatever comes, will come (my, aren't I becoming quite the philosopher!).

I think I shall go do some quiet reading. (Come to think of it, do I ever engage in "loud" or "riotous" reading? I don't think so.)

Cheers...

I hear there's a new virus running around doing that. I've even gotten bouncebacks to an account that's strictly for forwarding and to my knowledge doesn't appear anywhere on the net.
