Can You Hear the Bells?

Of all sound of all bells, the most solemn and touching is the peal which rings out the Old Year.---Charles Lamb







Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.---Alfred Lord Tennyson




May the New Year bring you peace and happiness.





We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.---Edith Lovejoy Pierce

It's Not Superior Knowledge or Magic, Folks

I stumbled across a blog post today that incorporated a flow chart for computer troubleshooting which I liked very much. So much, in fact, that I took a screenshot of it, pulled it into Picasa for cropping and printed several copies for distribution.

While it is flattering to be asked to help when computer problems arise, the world of computers and software is so vast and varied that one person cannot possibly know everything about the whole. Most often, if people would try in a slow and logical fashion to reason , they could probably solve their own problem. My own mantra when I have a problem is this: Read the Screen Stupid.Frequently the solution to your problem may be staring you in the face. You just need to pay attention. Here, thanks to Kim Cofino, is the flow chart which will make you the local computer expert.

Curious Christmas

Quite a few years ago I found a beer stein while "antiquing" or "junking" that I liked and thought would be a decorative holiday piece at home.

I've always intended to try to find out more about it, but have never really followed through. There isn't a lot of information to work with.

Here's a photo of the decorative stein. I still wonder "who is A. E. Hemke"?

Some Holiday Glitter

Since it's the holiday season, I thought I'd look for something ornamental to add to the blog. I found these cute ornaments and couldn't decide which to use so added them both. I liked the cozy fire for this bitter cold weather, but the tree was pretty too and reminded me of newly fallen snow.
