Yesterday I didn\u2019t even keep up with comments.  My computer tech contacted me of Friday and told me that he had been thinking about my system and that asked if here had been power failures here.  When I told him our building is over 100 years old and that power failures are regular, because we have only 100 watt service, not the standard 450.  He said he thought that a power failure during a backup hadc destroyed both.  So I installed an UPC yesterday morning to isolate my computer and peripherals from the crappy power here.  I figured it would take ten minutes.  It took over two hours.  Then I went to co-facilitate the therapy group and stayed late to talk with the new therapist I\u2019m assisting.  It went well, but by the time I got home I was shot.  At least, I\u2019ll reply to all comments and return visits today, barring unforeseen circumstances.<\/font><\/p>\n

And the GOP wants us to believe there is no red state racism.<\/font><\/p>\n
