and so it goes

I had set the vacuum cleaner on the curb, along with the rickety chair, and a cheap end table Dad had salvaged. I then added the lidded seat that went with the old organ that had been junked way back in 2004. In the past couple of hours, the seat and the vacuum have been saved by passing strangers, to live another day.

Cubs won. They beat the 'stros 3-2, and I believe have clawed their way back to .500.

Hey, it's early April and they're still in the hunt!

Usually anything I set out that's metal is scooped up pretty quickly. You can see the trucks drift up and down the streets, looking for stuff to recycle or sell.

I have no idea whether the vacuum cleaner worked or not, but it was an ancient bag variety and parts get hard to come by. I can see where old power cords might come in handy. Always nice to have a spare.

This reminds me that I need to look into a Jet Direct card for my HP1100. I have it hooked up to the iMac with a parallel:USB cable, which worked OK with Tiger but doesn't speak with Leopard at all.
