The weekend was a blend of nature and technology

My Napa ladies went camping over the week-end, so I had to entertain myself. I went to the Farmer's Market Saturday morning. It's small, but I got some produce, some earrings, a rock carving of the eye of God, according to the carver.

I had some coffee and watched the people go by. There is a certain type, and age there. The thirty somethings, with little kids, and the graying folks strolling around; some couples, some solo. There is a man in a wheel chair providing singing entertainment. There's coffee and pastries and lots of tables to sit at. I'm not sure I saw any teen-agers, although there were a few young ladies probably in their twenties. Lots of people know each other. They might be yuppies, but everyone is fresh, natural and pleasant.

The market is next to the Napa river at a section called Ox bow. Annie educated me on the place where the river has changed course and created a bowed place, then changed back. From my vantage point, it looked like a tiny island, but I need to explore to see what it really is. It was a morning for a light jacket; although some locals were in shorts and bare armed.

I was so impressed with my little purchase of fruit and vegetables, I lined them up outside and had a photo shoot.

Before the week-end ended, I was off to Best Buy, consulting with Bill by phone, to pick out a router. Then I installed it. All was good until I tried to set it up. I had it so set up, neither computer could get internet. After some frustrating phone calls, I eventually got it straightened out with the help of Jamie at Comcast. She has acres of possible solutions at her fingertips. Got me up and going. My internet is much, much faster than my Verizon phone wireless set up. I loved the idea and convenience, but it couldn't keep up when I was on the work connection. I was going crazy.

Bill had to listen to some whining last night, so now he is thinking I need to learn more about how things get hooked up. I can use a computer, just can't set it up. Why should I, that's his hobby.

I had to run the heat today. When I got up it was 63 degrees in here. That is so neat when it is 111 at home. I smooshed too much into one day. I am falling asleep at the wheel.

Till next time, Chao!
