| | seems I have a ton of readers (*looks at "views=1"*...and I think thats just ME), but I will continue on. If only for myself in the future to look back and say, "wow, I really sucked at writing", or maybe for my daughter one day who will be surfing the web when shes 16 and say, "user=IkeRay, hmmmm I wonder what shannigans my dad got into."
So the person who I bought the CPU from sent me shipping information, it'll be here on the 13th, which isn't so bad considering the weekend. I'm going to have to get some thermal paste in the morning from Radio Shack, since Fry's was all out tonight, and I'm going to pull the CPU out tomorrow to check for any bent pins or fry marks. I don't know what else to look for if these things are working fine, if it continues I'll just have to say "screw it" and build a new one (when we get money).
Speaking of money, this month is going to be rough. we aren't allowed to eat out at all, well maybe once a week tops, because we have to drop a pretty penny to the home owners association. What do they do with this money? lord knows....$500x1000 (estimating, may only be 500) = $.5 mil, subtract $200-250k for trash service (what a business) for the neighborhood and another $100k for the supposed cops we have patrolling, and that leaves us with at least $150k that nothing is done with. to answer your questions, no we don't have a pool or club house, so I can't figure what else they might be covering. now, if the neighborhood IS only 500 houses (which would be hard to believe) thats only $25k left which can be dismissed as administrative costs, but I'm fairly sure we have more than 500 houses.
My question to leave you on again goes into "fantasy" or future predictions if you will. after playing KOTOR, it makes me wonder, will the earth ever become like the planets in the star wars universe, most planets consist of 1 or 2 major cities which take up half of the planet or more. when we do start getting visitors from other planets, what will earth be known as? will it be the vacation home like Hawaii, will it be a warzone like Israel, or a historical city like Rome?
