My external hard drive appears to be dead as the proverbial doornail. This is very distressing. Some things I can salvage elsewhere but pretty much everything I’ve done in the past year or so is apparently gone. *sigh* All my writing files. All my genealogy files. All my clipart. All my music I didn’t have loaded on my iPod. All my podcasts. It’s going to be a chore recreating it all. Some of it may never get recreated.
We’ve had another celebrity death. Dixie Carter who played Julia Sugarbaker on the TV show Designing Women died yesterday at the age of 70. No reason for her death has been released last time I looked.

The only thing on today is horse racing this afternoon. The Arkansas Derby which has become one of the big pre-Kentucky Derby races.
My external hard drive is acting really squirrelly today. Hope it doesn’t crash until the new drive I ordered arrives. My ideal situation, though, is the bigger drive for storage and the smaller (current) drive to store all my backups.
