That place

The best thing about starting a computer over again is you get to start from square zero.. Square zero because it is a clean slate.. However that has it's drawbacks as well..  You get a computer that has Internet Explorer as it's primary and ONLY browser.. How long does it take someone who buys a new computer to download their browser of choice?? Well it's the first thing I've done for each of the computers I've ever used, and that includes the very first when I didn't know IE from diddlers remorse.. I grab FireFox and the reason is, it's the one I identify with.. I had Chrome for the longest time, I installed it as the main browser on my moms computer when it was new and also now with the recovery.. What doesn't get installed on a restart??  Well for me this doesn't..:
Crazy Machines.. I love to play the game and after I played it so much on the desktop I tried to put it on the laptop (notebook) and it is just harder to play on certain games.. It's a puzzle, and some of the parts are very hard to get exact on such a small screen.. That and there is no mouse, and it takes a mouse controller to adjust things..  My nephew has started "playing" this game recently.. I say play, he likes to watch the machines get built and run and that is interesting.. But figuring how to get to the objective is the most fun of this game.. It helps to be able to read which he isn't able to yet, but there are arrows that show the primary and end objective..  He plays it a little but he gets frustrated with the notebook version..  I do too, and so I rarely played it..


The fourth of July parade in Silverton.. circa 1909, yeah it's been going on that long..


Showing all the movies that were shot in little ol Silverton.. That would be fun I'm sure..

I had seen this place in town so many times, the photography place that is, but Lola's was a fun looking place as well.. Imagine the old days, way back when it was a business, and not a novelty..
