I won't be looking later. My main computer's motherboard is toast. We just had a tornado hit the area and power went out when it was restarting. Now it won't boot. I reset the cmos chip and used the bios jumper to reset setting, but it still won't boot. My 'trash PC' which I built out of discarded parts (which has half the speed and RAM, but works, so I can post, internet,and watch TV on it) still functions, but no Posering until I get a new PC,
I could bitch, whine and complain, but the area south of me was DEVASTATED. I live in southeast Nashville,Tennessee. I used to live at Thompson lane and Murfreesboro road. That area looks like a nuclear war was just raged there.
My building was missed, didn't even rattle here. There are at least two dead, dozens injured--complaining about a toasted mother-board seems like whining to me right now. Seeing a neighborhood that I spent 25 years in just GONE leaves me numb.
I cannot save the world. Only my little piece of it. If we all act
