Poor Purée

This title thang can't go on much longer, as there are very few options in this space and I may have exhausted the two available.  I'm open to suggestions, should you have any.

It's official:  I am now an IE9 kinda guy, totally.  Dude.  I was running IE on the desktop and Firefox on the laptop, but FF has this annoying habit of locking up from time to time for no apparent reason and nothing... repeat, NOTHING... seems to cure that, even a full system reboot.  So, we've shown the fiery lil fox the door.  Welcome home, Mr. Gates.

One thang that does annoy me about IE, though: no built-in spell checker.  I'm in the running for Typo King and I'll miss FF's squiggly red underline when my fingers miss the correct key.  OTOH, there may be add-ins available for IE.  We will look when motivation gets high enough.

I've taken to leaving a large pot o' water simmering on the stove of late for to increase the relative humidity indoors; that works and works well.  I also "season" the simmering water with powdered cloves, which gives the house a nice fresh smell and serves to hide other odors that MIGHT tend to incriminate me should the landlord or his designated representative pop in.  The downside is the pot is devilishly difficult to clean, given powdered cloves leave one hellaciously tenacious residue in the pot.  It took me 20 minutes and one half of an SOS pad to get that job done this morning.  There's a price for everythang in this life, I suppose.

No outdoor Happy Hour today.  It's warm enough but the wind she is howling.  Literally.  I documented said howls here, if'n you don't believe me or have forgotten.  It's not a pleasant experience to sit on the verandah in that sorta wind.

So... it looks like our pot is poured.  It's a slow day at El Casa Inmóvil de Pennington.
