My desktop computer is going is going bonkers.

It drags and loops and carries on something fierce.

Looks like a new one will be a Christmas present. I resent that. To me, a computer is a utility machine, like a vacuum cleaner, or a washing machine (though I like those better).

For Peg Britton, the River Road recipe will be fine for seafood gumbo. Lyman's is better, but I'm too distressed to pass it on. Dane will see another day.
