Amazing Race, Unan1mous, Q&A
Found a copy of Q&A at Value Village for five whole dollars! It came with all the manuals and original material. It was on six big 5 inch old style floppy discs. The lucky thing for me is that I still had an OLD Compaq computor with an drive for the old style floppies. I copied Q&A onto that computer and then copied it onto two 3.5" floppies and then, from those, onto another old computer that has Win95 on it that I can get to DOS with. Q&A is so cool. I made a form for practice already and I see how freakin' easy it is.
While messing about with Q&A I was also watching Dateline NBC about molesters, Amazing Race (rooting for the Hippies) and the finale of Unan one Mous (where this young gal won about $380,000, don't know if there is enough to the show for further editions).

Jethro Tull, EAFB
1,146,599,001. On the Simpsons last Sunday at the end I don't recall the context but I think it was totally out-of-the-blue they started playing this Jethro Tull song, 'Thick as a Brick'. At the photolab where I worked when I was in the service there was a guy who was a service brat that had lived in Deutschland who was a big Jethro Tull fan. He had a big collection of, for then, progressive rock music, all on cassette tape. At the time I secretly sneered at the cassette tape collection because I believed (and still do) in the superiority of the vinyl record.
A Monday, Got a Headache
1,146,563,000. Mowed some of the grass. The neighbors landlord was in their garage with another person working on something. Makes me a bit nervous, don't want to meet anyone especially someone who disapproves of me for possibly not doing great things for real estate values.
Then I went down the street to the thrifty shops. At the Annex saw a $2 computer that the shop was selling off as-is. I continued on to the main store. They had a Packard Bell on the shelf, 150 mhz, very like Rose's for about $22. Didn't see anything I wanted at the main store. I had a dollar bill and some quarters so on the way home I restopped at the Annex and bought the not-working computer that was outdoors on the bench for $2.17 (including state tax).
