Once again I was truant in posting something. However, this time I have something tangible to show for it. I spent two weeks working on this for my sister's wedding. They showed it at the rehearsal dinner. There was much fuss - the good kind - made about it.
The wedding was excellent. The sister looked wonderful and it's nice to have Dan as an official member of the family now.

Shadows & Tall Trees
My lucky (few) readers you are about to find out the answer to the age-old question: If a tree falls and no is around to hear it - does it annoy your neighboors? The answers is: Yes.
Sunday afternoon the wife and I went to get the bikes out of the shed and discovered our neighbors pruning the branches off a massive tree limb. A limb the fell on Tuesday; that we were just finding out about on late Sunday. That was partially reasting in thier yeard. Sigh. We were shocked that a fallen limb sat in our backyard for 5 nights. More so, we were shocked that it missed both our fence and our shed. So shocked that I forget to take pictures of the intial mess. Instead, I give you the aftermath:

Hunter household performs "Back to the Apple"
Now, the stunning conclusion to 'Traitorous Machines'....
We have resolution. Better yet, we have a new Macbook Pro. Apple decided that it was unacceptable that I wait until Oct. 11th for the replacement part to arrive at their repair facility. Finally! That's what I was saying all along guys!
To Apple's credit, they did right by me. This whole experience, with the crashed hard drive and misleading, contradictory customer service, was frustrating. The constant delays made the bad situation even worse. I just wanted my laptop back; but as my friend said to me, "If Apple wants to give you a Macbook Pro, you take it and run".
The return of a laptop in the house means a return to regular posts. I could have easily typed this up on our desktop computer but, eh - the laptop was so convenient; I can type this up while watching TV with the wife and cat. How ironic, then, that I'm posting this from the basement, using the same desk that the desktop is on.
