      English can be hard. It can be understood through tough thorough thought though.

        I don't know why I've never tried this before, but I just learned that if Windows (well, at least Win10 anyway) is set up to hide some notifications, I can drag and drop icons that are hidden to and from the notification area.
        It's a lot easier than going through the task bar properties. Well, maybe not easier, either way all you have to do is think and move your fingers around, but it does take a little less time.

          I own both so I can confirm this is true...

            I too have had a cat hat while sleeping (my brother showed me pictures). Although Myron was not quite as aggravating as the cat in the picture, she was more of a top hat cat.

                I had seen a Facebook post about the dog. Included a picture of the dog asleep on the pavement next to where the owner had died.

                I hadn't seen the cat one so I shared it.

                      If you have a weather radio, might not hurt to check the batteries now.

                        Ever since I moved to this place, I've looked at the window on the north side of the basement and wondered what's there, even though it could only show the view of what's under my front porch.
                        I finally got around to opening that window, and this is what I found:
                        20151024_180454.jpg

                        D'oh.

                        This is going to take a while.
                        I suppose that's just something that should be expected when moving into a house that was built in the late 1800s though.

                          This is a free fall simulator or wind tunnel. This is what Special Ops train in on base and we have a public one off base. Cost to play in it is $1200 an hour. The fan that is blowing you up cost over a million to replace.
