The Restoration of Habeas Corpus? I Hope So.

A Screen Capture of my Desktop



A screen capture of my current desktop icons and wallpaper. I think the wallpaper is a picture of a forest in the Pacific Northwest. Boy, what I wouldn't give to be there now. So beautiful.

Okay. Now you can go ahead and snoop around my icons to see a sampling of what kind of software I use. Go ahead, you know you want to. :)

Hey, that gives me an idea for a practical joke. Since I saved the screen capture in the same resolution my monitor operates in, I think I'll maximize it and just leave it open. The next time my wife comes in to use the computer and she clicks on the icons, they won't work, and she'll call me in to ask me what's wrong with the computer.

My classic reply: What in the world have you done to the computer now???!!!

Ornery? Yes. But you gotta have some fun now and then!
