Riddle Sideways: thank you, Listener Master
Riddle Sideways: sorry about multi-start today
Riddle Sideways: seems hard to get the cold computers to get back into steady running mode
Riddle Sideways: oh the woes of modern life!

Riddle Sideways: /wondering if that expression has been around/used in the "present tense" for all of past history

Riddle Sideways: did the cave people say "ug can't wait til we get to modern times" ?
Riddle Sideways: no the cave people said "Club is not right!  oh the woes of modern life!"
                --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: back in the horse-n-buggy days
Riddle Sideways: there was a lot of stuff ya had to do to prepare before getting to the task-o-the-day
Riddle Sideways: harnessing the huge heavy draft horse might take too long
Riddle Sideways: and the big wagon had to be filled and hitched up before going to town for the PaB meetings
Riddle Sideways: saddling the riding horse and riding it to town was easier
Riddle Sideways: however, it might be in the back 40 and not want to come hither
Riddle Sideways: well, maybe just throw a blanket on the pony and go to town
Riddle Sideways: however, the fat fool is too much for the pony
Riddle Sideways: and most of the way you'd walk beside the poor thing

Riddle Sideways: WELL ...
Riddle Sideways: that was then 'modern' 'present' issues

Riddle Sideways: AND ...
Riddle Sideways: in a 'this Modern' present

Riddle Sideways: all the computers were powered off last night and had to be awoken this morning

Riddle Sideways: main huge heavy Desktop has to be booted (always the image of a barn boot kicking it) twice
Riddle Sideways: then given some time, about 10min, for delayed start needed stuff to get rolling
Riddle Sideways: even starting at 6:30, it was not ready to go until 7:10
                --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: so, startup the lighter faster Laptop
Riddle Sideways: it gets ready in only one boot and maybe 5-10 minutes
Riddle Sideways: it can get to SL around 7:04+, and got us to the pavilion only a little late

Riddle Sideways: quickest was to grab the tablet, who is almost always ready to go
Riddle Sideways: eager for an outing
Riddle Sideways: Lumiya can ride into SL
Riddle Sideways: get to Home
Riddle Sideways: however, carryng a full size avatar to the pavilion is almost too much
Riddle Sideways: steering is difficult
Riddle Sideways: hard to find the cushion object in local objects list to action->sit on
Riddle Sideways: thank you for getting there
Riddle Sideways: now let the laptop take over
Riddle Sideways: and now let the desktop take over
                --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: Oh the woes of modern life!

Riddle Sideways: STOP IT!
Riddle Sideways: DROP IT!
Riddle Sideways: the gentle reader would think your life is so rotten
Riddle Sideways: all you do is belly ache about little meaningless stuff
Riddle Sideways: blah blah blah blah
Riddle Sideways: Get Over Yerself!!!!
Riddle Sideways: Slaps self up side the head, "It is just the woes of modern life"!

Riddle Sideways: Thank you
Riddle Sideways: one of me needed that
