We had a little bit of excitement this week.  Thursday afternoon, I noticed that the computer monitor was not displaying the current time, as my screensaver would normally be having it do.  After a bit of quick searching, I determined that the monitor was dead.  By the time my wife got home from work and looked at it herself, I’d already realized that I had just over 24 hours until I needed to start posting this – so ordering a new monitor or waiting for the old one to be repaired were not ideal options.  After my wife called several local merchants she remembered seeing computer equipment at, we learned that really the only place to get a new monitor from, in this entire town, was Walmart.  As much as I hated to do it, we bought the monitor, and my PC is back in business.
