Finally, A New Computer...Whoo Hoo!

I have been without a computer for over 3 months. Begging, borrowing and stealing time from Yella and others.

Living in Panama almost demands a computer, especially for me. I get a lot of stuff on the computer...guitar lessons, my blog, an international phone and future work not started because of no computer.

Plus all the videos, music and pictures I have not viewed or listened to because it was to awkward to use up time on someone else's computer.

Alright, back in the saddle with a new computer!

Lilly took me to the Apple Store while Dan was working. In fast, sleek and slippery LA. What a trip!

I got introduced to the space age.

This store has a couple dozen geeks standing around ready and able to help. The store was packed on Saturday but not a problem. Help was instantaneous.

We found what we wanted immediately. Lilly put the charm on this 19 year old geek. It was no contest. He was helplessly in over his head. She got her student discount for me and s shit pot load of info on this and that.

The entire transaction was started, negotiated and paid standing up at the display case with the clerk using a hand held device to do everything.

I was impressed.

Now on to LA.

My first thought upon entering the US is that the USA is perfect.

Everything is perfect.

No potholes, no broken sidewalks, all street lights working perfect, traffic moving in an orderly fashion, all hedges trimmed to perfection, as much hot water as you can stand and on and on...

I know, it's not perfect but coming from a 3rd World Nation, it sure does look perfect.

And expensive...I forgot that part!

We had breakfast for 3 which cost with tip $38. It was a great breakfast but what breakfast can be that good!

We are going to Vegas tomorrow to see the show "Love". It will be a boys night out. Lilly has opted to stay home.

Look out Vega! Well, that is an idle threat! After all, how much trouble can you get into drinking only heavily sugared coffee.

A pathetic party drink.

Sorry!
