Back 'em up folks

I'm sitting here writing this post on the iPad while my laptop hard drive is being restored from a backup.

I got lucky. At least I hope so. I just did a full bootable backup of the laptop in preparation for partitioning the drive for a project I have in mind that I want to keep isolated from my day to day stuff. I finished the backup and when I went to partition the drive the disk utility refused, saying the drive was corrupt and needed to be wiped and reformatted first.

Let's hope the restoration succeeds.

A Call to Nature

"About as far as from here to the station," went on Mr. Baca, "was a graveyard where the gang was supposed to camp out. I rode over to it and found where they had lunched the day before. There were {Begin deleted text}sardin{End deleted text} {Begin inserted text}{Begin handwritten}sardine{End handwritten}{End inserted text} cans and cracker boxes and one thing and another. Then I found where one of them had had a call to nature. I told one of my men to put it in a can. Saiz didn't know about this, and in a little while he went over behind some mesquite {Begin page no. 4}bushes and had a call to nature. After he came back I sent my man over, and by God it was the same stuff -- the same beans and red chili seeds! So I put Saiz under arrest and sent him back to the jail at Socorro with one of my deputies, although he kept saying he couldn't see what I was arresting him for."
