back on the chain gang


Well Chateau VVB is back on line thanks to Hung the 'pooter wizard. Altho' he hasn't spread his wizardry to all corners of the ranch, we still have a networked computer that isn't.
The e-mail address book has disappeared but may be retrievable. Fortunately, all the photos and files have been retrieved including those from some of our years overseas that Mrs VVB had started scanning to disk. Many of those photos in albums had begun to fade, being quite old. Also, most of those from Pakistan days suffered additionally from local printing, where the chemicals were undoubtedly (a) already old and (b) probably diluted.
But in honour of those days, here's a photo of a restaurant whose name I found appealing in my younger and coarser days. Of course, in Latin it means "with with" and no doubt that was the owner's intention.
Apart from that, nothing really to say about the recent political stuff. Costello damned the Rudd budget in reply as lacking vision for the economy in the future. Fair cop, we should usually look to Labor to put people first to some extent: an extent that shrinks each year, of course. Praise be to globalisation!
