A few weeks ago we covered the basics of keeping your computer reasonably spot free via some basic housecleaning chores. Now we need to go one step further. As we discussed over that cup of coffee, even the biggest of the name brand computers begin to age immediately after you turn it on. As the computer ages with use, it becomes slower, it becomes more crash prone and unstable, and more clutter will continue to build in the computer attic until the foundation begins to crack.

Books: ''The Shelters Of Stone''
by Jean M. Auel
|
|
Published: 2002; Pages: 751; Rating: Bad
The original “Clan Of The Cave Bear” by Jean Auel was a classic book that someday I will read again. But, I believe she has stayed with this series of characters and this storyline way too long as evidenced by this book. This is the fifth one in the “Earth Children” series began by “Clan of the Cave Bear” and it is the worst one when it comes to reading this one from beginning to end.

Main Street had several cars rolling up and down it a few weeks ago and the Alumni Center was not even open for business. What was going on? Now that I think about it, seems there was a horde of vehicles with their accompanying dogs hanging out the windows, the rear end of pickup, and even trailers. With traffic like this, a new business on this street could have more than likely picked up a few customers if they were to hang a nice new sign outside the door. Don’t you think?

Books: ''The Blue Nowhere''
by Jeffery Deaver
|
|
Published: 2001; Pages: 426; Rating: Good
I kind of like Jeffery Deaver as a mystery book writer although some do not put him in the pure mystery category. He has one character in some books that is repeated, Lincoln Rhyme the paraplegic. But in many of his other books including this one the characters are all new. The central theme he does maintain is that of having a protagonist that is a serial killer. He kills well too. In fact, have you noticed that the more gory and graphic a writer can make his murders, the more the book appears to sell? Seems that way to me anyway.

I started off this week covering a topic in this column of a completely different nature, but right in the middle of it had to put it in the can for some point in the future. Why is that? Well, when you get right down to it, what could possibly be more interesting right here in Kerens, Texas than the city election for Mayor last week? My mind kept wandering off track back to this subject until I finally just gave up and instructed my keyboard to change lanes. Oh well.
