🏄 coming on the 11 the of the Month

 🏄 oh yeah, five in the AM and I'm typing w/ coffee on standby

rain now and today
rooted out four dandelions. right. 4 of about a hundred - I bet

there is no movie ' Invasion of the Dandelions '
sheer terror / ancient enmities 
I can say, ' drudgery and hopelessness ' play a large role in the effort

basically, " life will out "
life finds a way ...... and way and ..... way

yes. Peter Townsend was almost first up on YouTube

then Fievel, sings ' Somewhere Out There '

followed by ' Heart Like a Wheel ' ala the Mc Garrigles
and of course, Linda Ronstadt in Rochester NY for a performance

' boro weather. rain and cool [ perfect dandelion weather ]

BTW. the emoji - fest going w/ the blog -the colourful picx, are from the Chrome ' call up an emoji ' feature. 
hit the ' everything ' key [ search ] and then ' shift + space bar ' --> bingo ! sheets of emojis appear. unlimited choice

I've been thinking about this -
the device that I'm using is a DELL 5190, Chromebook.
Student model. drop resistant. spill resistant. basic machine
a rock star of laptops.
the bad stuff. 
well, its been powerwashed [ factory reset ] at least three times. Mostly, I believe because of the Virtual Private Network, Nord. Somehow Chrome OS and Nord, hate each other. And aren't afraid to air their dirty linen - in my face.
its not a powerful computing device but 5190 doesn't know it

The good stuff. Dependable. Keyboard is - well suits my fingers. BTW, I do type w/ two hands and eight fingers + two thumbs 
never did well in typing class [ fundamentally incompetent ] however, w/ spell check. auto correct or whatever
Do just fine thank you
5190 has travelled to England, Scotland and the U.S.

AND coming soon, no more updates and security patches from Chome [ called AUE ]. Then, I suppose the 5190 is mothballed. Oh, I could continue using the 5190 as a Linux [ base computing machine ] but I'm not good at Linux system usage

To that end. A replacement is in use, right now. I figured get the CB 311 [ Chromebook eleven inch, of course ] And the CB 311 has some quirks
mainly, that apps treat the CB 311 like an android phone. You see, Chromebooks are as close to an android phone that you can get.
the bonus is - attache or connect ' peripherals '
as in hook up a monitor, headphones and mouse - NO problem
you see that's why these CB s are meant for

weather update : Noah must have called in a favour - buckets coming down
worms are using popsicle sticks to make rafts
AND - the first test of the new edging work b/c this rain will collapse the overhang. We will see what results
good or bad or ugly [ please not ugly ]
