A *Very* Short Trip

This morning I awoke early at about 5 am and I waited for Aggie to wake up. I thought it was about time for us to go on another trip, to somewhere, since it has been some time since we last did that. I had a number of ideas of where we might go and I was anxious to discuss them with Aggie. We almost always made *immediate* plans and very seldom planned trips far into the future.

Suddenly I realized Aggie died two and a half years ago! It was difficult for me to believe this. I immediately shed a waterfall of tears.. My desire to travel quickly disappeared and I was back, living in the moment, with *no* plans nor goals for the future.

Ubuntu Hardy Heron Install

My previous problem of trying to install Ubuntu without a direct internet connection are no more. I downloaded the iso disk from the Ubuntu site with Microsoft OS, on another computer, and then had no problem installing the new Ubuntu version of Linux (Hardy Heron) using the disk. My *two* wireless interface drivers were installed and wifi was *immediately* available to me. So far the *only* problem I have is that I have no sound available. The ‘fine tuning’ of the system is going well and I expect the sound problem will soon also be solved. The “Hardy Heron Team” has done an *excellent* job! Congratulations!
