A Wonderfullyrich World

4 truck loads of stuff later and lots of physical soreness and 1019 furniture mostly moved to our new house 3 blocks away.  (It’s a small moving truck and some tight alleys.) That’s what I call a long weekend.  Now we scrub, patch, paint, and de-bedbug the boxes, kitchen things, and sundries before it heads […]

I’ve been decompressing with Season 3 of Battle Star Galactica and it’s amazing to watch this stuff. The first season was engaging in a way that few other shows have managed to transcend. The longer you watch the series though, the more cliche it becomes. I am now a firm believer […]

A little late sorry, but we did choose a house.  It’s 3 blocks away from our current house.
Now the fun of moving 8 people out of the house, 6 people into another house, and settling the new house.  Thankfully the new house is uninhabited, so although we can’t actually sleep there, we can move our […]

What’s more, it was a smart move […]

it’s a frustrating 30-minute ride out to the airfield, watching the flames. we’re told that the smurf shack is a total loss, but there’s two fuel […]

I got out of DC yesterday and spent several wonderful hours wandering around polyface farms in the Shenandoah Valley of northern Virginia. 3 hours of a drive from DC, it was well worth the trip as we managed to shuttle past the persistent rainstorm settled atop DC for the beautiful weather at […]

My life right now is a tunnel vision of DC, governed mostly by living in a district where national policies are decided, but feel handed out. As I was laying in bed moments ago, I was prompted to arise by a thread of thoughts which reminds me how much we as a represented people […]

To follow up my previous post on how to keep yourself safe, I felt it was only fitting that I also add a short piece on how you can recover from some data loss situations.
First and foremost, I’ll re-iterate, BACKUP UP YOUR DATA!
Look at this from a money point of view. The following […]
