Sometimes the “other guy” is you. Last Thursday my computer started acting a little wonky and then it stuck its tongue out at me and quit. To make a long story short, my computer fried and that pretty much put me out of business since I create my artwork on the computer. My biggest problem was that I had several jobs I was in the process of working on that were now locked inside a dead hard drive. Fortunately I had made a wise decision in 2009 and backed my computer up with Carbonite. I ran up to Best Buy and grabbed the biggest iMac they had sitting on the floor, came home, plugged it in, loaded Carbonite onto it and downloaded the files I needed to complete my jobs. I can’t recommend Carbonite highly enough. It’s almost idiot proof ’cause I was able to make it work and I ain’t exactly a rocket surgeon… I mean a brain scientist… whatever…

It’s that magical time of year here in Northeastern Indiana. Snow and ice as I drive home last night, cars off in ditches, the road to my house closed with emergency vehicles, I’m sneezing and coughing the entire way and the radio tells me there’s another four inches of snow headed our way on Saturday. It’s looking like another fabulous winter wonderland in Hoosierville.

So last night I was trying to watch the Texas Rangers win the American League Pennant against the Yankees because I helped build the Rangers Stadium with my tax dollars back when we lived in Arlington and I wanted to see how my investment was turning out… anyway, I’m not such a big baseball fan (not enough violent collisions or vicious cross checks) and I was having trouble sticking with the game, so I started flipping back and forth between the game and the Pirates Of The Caribbean movie on another channel, but that wasn’t working for me either, so I whipped out my iPAD and did this little picture to keep myself awake until the end of the game… and a RANGERS WIN!
