Post Christmas . . .

December 27, quite, no kiddlings running around, trash picked up and cleaned out.  The silence is over powering.  Back to listening to TV in the back ground while workingon the computer. 

Fortunately, the stock market went up on December 26.  Today the stock market is poking long, down a few points, like maybe 10 points.  I can remember when 10 points was a big day but that was back in the early sixties and the market was around 300 or so points, not today's 16,000 points.  Big difference.  So 10 points is not a show stopper. just a short pause the trek of the Dow Jones Index.

Still trying to get the malware out of the table top computer and I am using the laptop for this blog.  Closer in that I have removed most of the blocks but apparently not all of them.  Checked out a forum on the topic and will follow the instructions.  Not a new problem for malware.  But beware of programs saying they will speed up your computer.  They want to hold on to you forever and embed all kinds of hooks to hold you.  In my case the new 2014 virus checker introduced some malware and now I am deep into fighting it.

So the quite helps.  Happy New Year to all.  And Geaux Tigers!
