Actually Eve had the 1st computer. It was an Apple and after one byte the system crashed.

etch a sketch was such a fun toy. I could never create anything super cool, but was fun.


I have been really tired lately, and yesterday went for a nap just before 6pm and slept straight through til 9am, not sure why I am so tired all the time.

Mine melted in the back window of the car somewhere in the desert in Colorado circa 1968. I could write my name with it fairly quickly, but nothing very fancy. Lack of a true diagonal made it a bit awkward.

Does that happen when you get depressed? If you've been sleep deprived for a few days it could be that you just needed to catch up. I've been trying to get 7 hrs or as close to it as I can, but it's always in at least 3 separate shifts.

I have never been an energetic person, always feel run down and tired no matter how much sleep I get, but the level of tiredness is out of the norm even for me.

The airline I worked at for 5 years, had a nickname there, they called me Sleepy dwarf (from snow white) because I was always so tired, and yawning all the time. That was in my late teens/early 20's...lol

Capt. Ashwood: I thought Gunner Beaumont could dress up in a low sort of thing and be the Creole girl.
Lt.Col. Reynolds: I see, yes, what do you think of that, Sergeant Major?
Sgt Major Williams: I dunno what a keyhole girl looks like, sir.

With how unreliable elevators can be, there really should be a requirement for 2 minimum to be installed in residential buildings.

Seems every month there is an article about broken elevators and people with mobility issues stuck in their units because they cannot use the stairs. Elevators are not always fixed in a timely fashion, sometimes taking weeks to repair and get working again.

We have 2 in our building, one is almost always broken and waiting for repair/parts, luckily we have never had both break down at once.

Currently have 1 down, been down almost 2 weeks, the part has to come from Germany.

In the below article, the part had to come from ON via the US to get to Vancouver. (elevator was down for 12 days.)

What do you give a man with everything?

Correct, a tree. But it failed to recognise the Trump Kiss of Death.
But wait, what's that I hear?
It's not really dead, Trump has Tweeted that the tree lives. Amazing what a touch from the Messiah will do.

Overlooking a busy street is sometimes interesting. Bus sitting behind a car about 3 car lengths of space, car for whatever reason goes into reverse and smacks into the bus.

I'm guessing it must be some sort of charity fundraiser.
