Painted Rocks Petroglyph Site

I was thinking... "how lame am I for not putting any pictures on the blog"? So here is my first attempt to upload a picture for all of you to see.

This was in late March when Edwin and I went to Arizona for a week of just relaxing and goofing off (as boring as that sounds you wouldn't believe how much we look forward to doing nothing now in our lives which are all too busy and full of deadlines and decisions). We visited Organ Pipe national monument and Painted Rocks Petroglyph Site. Petroglyphs are patterns chipped into rocks by Indians in the past 1000 years. Apparently rocks out there develop a black patina of dust and minerals and other stuff, and if you chip at it, the you can see the lighter stone underneath.

I thought it was pretty cool....

Sad But True

So the other day, I started noticing that Calvin's laptop was acting really slow. (Background: I don't have my own computer so I just use his laptop since he has his own desktop which he uses most of the time.) Anyhow, I came to the conclusion that I might have accidentally installed a virus or spyware on his laptop so I asked him what I should do. Then the following conversation ensued:

Calvin: Just run Norton Anti-virus.
Alice: I don't know where it is.
Calvin: Did you look under my computer?
Alice: (Picks up the laptop and looks underneath) Nope, it's not there.
Calvin: (Shakes his head) No.... I said look under "My Computer".
Alice: Ohhh....

Congratulations Bruce!

On your graduation!!!!
