Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What have I learned from my last entry?  First that maybe
.bmp files use more space than .jpg files.  That changing from
.bmp to .jpg is supposedly not harmful to the file.  Now will
I go and change all my files?  Gee, don't know.  I don't want
to take the chance of hurting something.  Maybe I will
experiment some.

Second thing I learned.  I went and bought some new CD's.
And yeah, I have that many graphics on my hard drive.  It
took 2 CD's to save everything.  Who would have thought?
I put all my Kathy tags on one CD and all the other graphics
on a 2nd CD.  (Gee, just hit me, I have backed up the word
files I have.  Rats.)

I have also learned that even though the CD's are rewrite-
able you can't just add to a folder already on the CD.  New
problem for me.  I thought I would put everything on CD
and delete what was on my hard drive.  But if I keep saving
tags and graphics then I will have them in different folders
and I will really confuse myself. 

So, do I keep everything on hard drive (until I run out of
space) and just keep backing it up from time to time? Or
put everything on CD, delete what is on my hard drive and
then figure out how to merge the stuff later? (that is a
scary thought).  What do you guys do?



Finally had my drive into the mountains yesterday.  Well, sort
of.  I never made it into the mountains.  I got up to the
foothills though.  My mistake was stopping and doing some
shopping along the way, and then there was lunch at
Cracker Barrel.......But I had a great time.

The leaves aren't in full color right now anyway so I plan
on taking another trip when they hit peak (or near peak) color.

I highly recommed day trips.  It felt like a mini-vacation.
But I got there and back in one day so it didn't cost as much
as a real vacation.  But it was a great break.  Try it some-
time.

Forgot to tell you about this new little dance step I learned
Monday. 

It was raining pretty hard so I made a mad dash to my car.
Half way to my car I look down.  Just in time NOT to step
in what a dog, a big dog, no -- a HUGE dog left behind in my
front yard.

I was happy that I missed it, but mad that it was there.  OK
I don't get mad when a dog gets lose and does that, but
it still irks me.

I did step into once.  I had a cast on one foot and was on
crutches.  I get in the house and keep smelling something.
I finally look at the foot wearing a shoe and there it was.




October is breast cancer awareness month.  Please ladies if
you haven't made the appointment yet make it now to have a
mamogram done.  It could save your life.  Men, urge the
ladies in your life to make the appointment.  Not just your
wife/girlfriend, but your mom, sister, aunt, cousins.

Don't forget that you can help poor women get free mamo-
grams just by a daily click on the web.  I keep a link to a
past entry with the click button over there to the left here.
(under "my other journals") Make it part of your daily on line
experience.  That goes for you men also.
