RAMBLINGS...

Occasionally I have so many links and windows running I lose track of greymatter. Such was the case this morning when I lost everything I wrote, not that the loss was huge. Now things have changed anyway, so I'll start off with new material and try to recall the old that I thought noteworthy at the time.

Don't hold me to this but at noon today in the Russell basketball tournament, the boys beat Russell 59-52. They play Claflin at 7:30.

The girls lost the first game in overtime by 4. In their second game, they beat Lincoln 55-18 in a very one-sided game.

Deneen wrote me this morning about having a crock pot full of chili simmering while she, her husband and kids were heading out for a day on their snowmobile. She even had the hot chocolate ready to go when they came in out of the cold. I bet they are having fun.

Meantime, Brit heard me talking about Deneen's chili and he decided he wanted some too. So he went to the store for meat and I made chili. Sounds good to me too. He stopped to drop some things off at a freind's house and when he stepped out of the car, he slid all the way down the driveway. It's slick out there.

Greg and Cee Heller came by for a visit and a little Christmas cheer. He has a hankering for my Rom Pope so I emailed him to let him know there was a jug with his name on it. He came to get it before someone else claimed it.

I spent over an hour with my web master friend discussing the problems I'm having with my computer...a conflict with the operation of MSIE and Outlook and Word. Individually they run pretty well, but running more than one at a time sets my machine to shivering. She thinks it's a java script problem and is hunkered down over her bazillion computers trying to solve it. I really think I need to scrape off my hard drive...take a Chore Boy to it...and she does too with all the stuff I have on it. We were going to do it last fall when she came for her annual visit, but that didn't happen so now I'll have to manage until spring. It's really weird what happens and I'm sure it has never happened to any one else. Meantime...I've figured out how to work around most of it.

I was going to try to figure out Cebridge Cable. I guess that's what I have now instead of Classic Cable. As long as Mark Gwinner has his hands on the towers, I don't mind who owns it.

It was brought to my attention after my letter to the editor in the newpaper that all the county commissioners are concerned and are working toward formulating zoning regulations for the county. It was an oversight on my part not to have stated that more clearly. As a matter of fact, Commissioner Rush attended a five-hour zoning conference recently held in Hutchinson. We do hope the commissioners move forward to enact zoning regulations in order to maintain and protect the quality of life for all residents in the county.

Brit was watching the KU game when there was a power failure in Kemper Arena and things turned dark. I guess they won.

I think when a friend and I go to Great Bend tomorrow we ought to stop out and see the Christmas lights at the farm in the country. I haven't been there for a long time. That might be fun.

The end.
