When Barbie’s go Wild and Be Ready to go Forward
The stock market springing back from the crash dive of 27 February regained about 54 or so points to leave some folks happy for the most part, as other markets still rattled traded with nervousness. I stated in an earlier blog those Chinese government officials who had sparked the earlier plunge; could not and should [...]
Splurging Takes a Plunge in More Ways than One
You can bet more than a few fund managers, stock brokers and others involved in stocks are taking a breather; and peering at what’s left in their “rainy day” and bonus funds after the dazzling 416 point drop that apparently started in China. The Chinese government trying to dampen the enthusiasm and hard work of [...]
When Bad Guys Make a Run for It and Lose
Working in a Cop Shop, puts a perspective on my job that many don’t get to see. Police exist because the bad guys do, and it’s that simple. Crime occurs and someone seeks help and where do they turn for help? To the police officer of course, who takes the report and will ask clarifying [...]
US Manufactures Too Slow for Change
American’s cringe when they visit the gas pump, with $2 a gallon common in many areas of the country the disaffection with SUV’s grow by leaps and bound; the auto manufactures still shove huge pickup trucks and Sport Utilities out the factory doors in hopes of making the usual sells.

Earlier I wrote about my iTunes being broken. It is no fun when you can’t get new tunes. Having spent the better part of two days and looking for a solution to my problem, I pondered what had changed on the computer.
