Wow, I managed to slide right through June and most of July without posting anything in my journals. Not for much lack of things going on, but perhaps a lack of things other FA inmates might find interesting. Let's see ... I just got my sewing machine back from the repair shop, and hope to be able to start fixing some of the torn-up clothes I have stacked up here - damages from day-to-day living, not from anything exciting, sorry. I'm still stuck in dialup and it looks like I will continue there for the immediate future; also, my ISP accidentally forgot to renew something or other, rsulting in a loss of access to the Usenet servers - I can get at the newsgroups via Google but it ain't the same - for some used to the stark ASCII of classic Usenet, Google's bloated html that takes forever to load is irritating beyond words. Shucks, I guess I'm too Old Skool for this new world order...
