Decked the lobby tree this afternoon. Kicked a Windows 10 machine around for a friend this morning. He got “Critical Error – your start menu has stopped working…” message. I got it going again by restarting the machine in safe mode. More research indicated that Microsoft is clueless about how to effect (or is it affect) a long term fix. Restarting in safe mode applied 32 updates. I am just hoping one of those updates had some secret sauce that fixes that bug.
As for me, I am getting a serious case of “jackrabbits in boots”. Before – the Paris attacks I was toying with the idea of going to Paris for Xmas. The downside being Paris is a long way away. But, after the attacks – going to Paris seem like a good thing to do. But Paris is a long way away.
Also toying with going to American Samoa. It is about 8 hours away and has some killer snorkel sites. And, I have the correct clothes for American Samoa.
Or Tokyo. I absolutely love Japan for no apparent reason. Like Paris, I’d need to do some clothing thrift shopping for Japan.
How about Brisbane? Take the train up to Airlie Beach and the Great Barrier Reef. I have the right clothes and gear for that.
Or head up to Fairbanks Alaska and hope for Northern Lights? (My first stop in Alaska would have to be the Goodwill store!)
Since my hotel is “home”. I have no problem taking a trip. I am not on vacation. I am in my winter quarters.
They all sound like great options though Paris is too “cityish” for my taste. I believe it’s effect.
