Spring in Paradise? Forecast is occasional ballistics

Today is the Vernal Equinox. If you click the Weather-Saltillo, MS, link you will find that the first day of spring at the beach house is weather positive. Just hope it's not premature to move ferns, palms, etc. outdoors. It will get cold tomorrow night, but don't think there's a chance of frost. Wow, so many things to do. Only one PC to finish this weekend and one drive that needs to be investigated for data recovery.

My yard is infested with moles or voles or whatever. Watched one dig directly into the concrete steps. They are not intelligent animals and definitely in the dark. Have some elephant ears that are so large they are called mammoth ears (no kidding, check your local Lowes). Well, if these are planted in the ground now it will be like inviting these critters to a banquet by the veranda. So the nasties must go. Anyone have any suggestions? Stan and Charlotte have the same problem and they can't find a solution either. May take 1,000 rounds of .223 ammo and spray the yard. Think this would upset my neighbor, the Chief of Police? Okay, that idea is on the back burner. BTW, I have NO qualms about killing the little suckers. Now that that's said, flame on you bunch of "animal rights" nazis! Hope to find a tiger chewing on your liver someday. 'Hell, it's just doing what comes natural!'

Anyone had a problem installing a Hewlett-Packard Photosmart 7660 printer? Creekmonkee has an AMD K6-2 550, 192 meg o ram, 80gig 7200 spin Maxtor HDD, etc. He's running Windows 2000 and things are not copasetic. It wants to blue screen after he installs the drivers from the disk. The latest update from HP may be the answer. If you have input, please comment or email.

Now it's time to begin the War of the Moles. Where is my bayonet?
