    They screwed me around this morning loading just long enough that I just about missed breakfast. Got to a place for some fuel 'bout 10. All thats left is 2 breakfast sandwiches on frickin croissants (I hate dem darn things), and a "breakfast burrito". (this was in Iowa).

    Seeing no other options, I grabbed the "burrito". That was a mistake. Never, EVER trust some homegrown, corn fed, fat Iowa "cook" lady's idea of what a "burrito" is. Repeat, NEVER , EVER.

    That nasty piece of #### "burrito" was 1 scrambled egg, mixed in with yesterday's leftover tater salad, wrapped in something resembling a tortilla. Nasty, Nasty, NASTY. 1 bite and I thought I'd puke when I tasted and saw tater salad, IN A "BURRITO".

    No more fuel there. Ever. I will go hungry.

    DR DOS had a much better memory manager than MS DOS.
    For a while, you could actually install MS DOS, then cut out components from DR DOS, and install them over MS DOS files. Made it really stable.

    ####, Now I can't stop singing. Hard to go to sleep when a song like that gets me all fired up.

    Yup. Makes you glad he let Big Bopper have his seat on the plane. It was still a loss, but could been worse.

    Waylons my favorite. “Grew up in Houston off of Ractrack Drive, Son of a Carhop in some all night Dive. Dad drove a Stock Car to an early death. All I remember is a drunk mans breath. Ain’t Livin Loooooong like this, Am I Baby?” That song and “Lonesome, Ornary and mean”, and “Clyde” and a dozen others are my favorites. Lol.

    The first one is the state of confusion
    The second one could be Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana or South Carolina.

    No. I did not.

    Thanks for torpedoing my illusion.

    I'm so old, I punched decks of computer cards to be fed into a mainframe computer, which if your program didn't get stuck in a "Do" loop, would print out the results on greenbar paper. One card, one line of Fortran.

    I saw one of the first versions of an Apple personal computer in the next dorm room, and his dad had paid $6,000 for it in 1975 or 1976.

    I briefly used a shared IBM PC in about 1981 or 1982 or thereabouts. Ran lots of stuff on Lotus 1-2-3 until Microsoft bought and killed it so you had to use Excel. After they forced me to stop using Windows 98, I hate computers.
