Landed in LA and DD picked me up. We then went to an Asian buffet. It was good with lots of seafood. The crab cakes were the best thing there. DD agreed.
Then it was time to find DD a new computer. We 1st looked at the Macs since they are easier to use than microsuck. When we got there, the look on DD's face was all I need to know. So I say to him to let's go get you a pc. DD has been using a pc for so many years that having him switch operating systems did not seem like good idea. Also the macs were $500 more that the pc is.
So we went to Best Buy and got DD a new HP quad core computer with a 6 gigs of memory and a terabyte hard drive. Took it home, turned it on and it works. We also got DD an external hard drive so it can automatically backup his internal drive.
So. Christmas is coming so for me that means travel. And travel means the ongoing fun of flying. I remember when flying was fun. Ok, at least uneventful. So this year I am leaving from a new city.
Years before I, AD and JK would fly from where ever we are currently living (we seem to have been moving a lot in the last 5 years) to So Cal. This year there has been a lot of changes. First, Mom now leaves with AD and JK in Spokane. Second, AD and JK now has a little guy Oryn. So Christmas is going to be up with them this year.
So DD has had the same computer for about 5 years or more and it is really running slow. It does not even have a gig of ram. Something like 448 megs and constantly running on virtual memory. DD needs a new computer. He also needs help getting one and transferring his files from one computer to the other. So how can I do that from Spokane? So here I am now on a flight to LA to help DD and to visit Bonnie since she unfortunately will not be joining us in Spokane.
The flight is uneventful as it should be and typing this on Heather. I love my new little netbook. She is so pretty.
Oh one funny thing happened. From Lafayette to Houston I take a small propeller plane. When we landed we were greeted by a shuttle since we landed out on the tarmac. We all got in, it drove maybe half a mile or less and then stopped to let us out. What? We could have walked it. Other airports I have been to have us walk. It was such a waste of time. O well.
