Greyhound Garbage Raid

As some of you may know, we adopted 2 greyhounds. If you are considering a pet, I would highly recommend greyhounds if you want the following from a pet:

1. Low maintenance. Greyhounds will sleep 20+ hours a day, even more than a cat!
2. They provide tremendous amount of affection.
3. Typically, have a very quite disposition. You can go a whole year without hearing them bark, but when they do, it scares the begebees out of you.
4. Despite the perception, they are generally low energy dogs. When greys are in their racing prime, they'll race maybe twice a week and then sleep the other days.
5. Despite their size (50 to 100lbs), they don't seem like large dogs because they are content curling up into balls in their favorite sleeping location.
6. As being racers, they are handled by people more than other breeds as pups and the result, they will typically get along with humans very well.
7. They are very distinguished. When you walk them, everyone knows it's a greyhound and everyone wants to pet them.

There are a million other reasons to love greyhounds. And despite some of the trouble (see video below) they get into, they are a joy to be around.

No keyboard found, press F1 to continue

Over the last week, been working to remove some spy ware, trojan horses, and other viruses that recently got onto my mother-in-laws computer. During one of the reboots, I got an error message during the system check:

No keyboard found, press F1 to continue.

Hmmmm, would like to if the keyboard was found.

Would you like the extended warranty plan with your wireless mouse?

A few weeks ago, the wireless mouse I travel with for my notebook died. Not really sure what happened, but it stopped working despite replacing the battery. Tonight, I finally got around to purchasing a new one. I stopped by the local office supply store to and purchased my $29.99 Microsoft(r) Wireless Notebook Mouse 3000. To my amusement, when the cashier rang up the purchase, he politely asked if I would like to purchase the extended warranty plan with the mouse.

It cost $29.99.

If I would have had my snap, I would have asked how much and it may have made this post a bit more amusing.
