Restored missing entry from a week ago. In meantime, receiving junk mail from local bond offices. Bad news travels fast. All heard I skipped out on 'failure to signal' jury trial. Wondering if scary bondsman did his job or if I'm a fugitive. Went into closet to try on jailhouse orange shirts and pants. Plan to walk dog while wearing all orange.

Singing in car on way to office today. Purposely sing towards radio to make it look like I'm on a speaker phone. Remembered driving down Westheimer years ago with cute girl in car behind me singing to radio. Feverishly searched radio until finding station to match her lyrics. 93-Q Country. Frowned. Slowed down to let her pass. Memory is still painful.

Tried to buy computer online from Dell on Thursday. OptiPlex 300-something or other. All seemed cool until Dell mailed me this:

there is an issue or an invalid configuration for this system. You chose the CD drive, CDRW, and the LS 120. We can only install two of those three. Please advise which two you need most. Thank you

Told Dell I wanted all three anyway. There were drop-downs to pick all three. Later saw tiny instructions on page that say you can't get SuperDisk drive plus two more options. Wanted to write Dell back using same tiny font to tell them what I thought. Their response:

The web sight does not always have the capability to inform you on what is not compatible. In this case we can only install two of the three devises you chose. Please advise as to what you have decided. Thank you

Web sight? Devises? Told Dell to cancel order. Sending Dell a copy of this.
