Nov 1

Had to use a photo from yesterday. We got rained out at lunchtime today and I never got out to take any photos later due to the rain. I stopped at a local lake, and found this American coot hanging out with the mallards.
My new laptop was working fine this morning. When I came home this afternoon I had a hard time connecting to any website. I rebooted it 3 different times, still nothing. So I sent a call for help to Joel and he came over this evening. He says there must be a problem with the hard drive. He sent off an email to his former boss and she will call me tomorrow about it. It is still under warranty. So it is back to using my desktop for a few weeks.
