  • Waiting in the checkout line at the grocery, I noticed a tabloid claims George W. Bush is suffering from Alzheimers Disease. The tabloid is most likely not a reliable information source, but I would say that Bush has plenty he'd like to forget.

    Yesterday, I had to re-set my password for on line banking with Bank of America. Today I got a message that the bank didn't recgnize my computer.

    My camera broke. It is a year and a half old. I bought it new. Now I learn that the mi=odel I purchased is no longer being produced, and no longer being repaired by the factory. There isn't even any on lie factory support. I checked with a few local camera shops and two on line repair sources. They can each one consulted fix my problem - the cheapest quote is $ 42 though an on line source. So that cost, plus postage, and I'll have invested a significant portion of what a new camera, with warranty, will cost.

    I'd like to be upset with American manufacturers, but I'm not certain if my camea was made in the good ol' U. S. of A. So few things are. Even American made cars are genrally 30 -  40% foreign. I think we still produce American babies in the United States, but I could be wrong about that.
