Western New York State. Ah yes. Spring comes someone in early June doesn't it, Dan? It's like the upper peninnsula of Michigan where they get over 200 inches of snow in winter, I played at the North Country Folk Festival many years ago in Ironwood, Michigan and the stories could chill your heart, even in July.

There was a certain strange symmetry to my computer problem. I got a warning that my computer was in danger of being infected by a virus and that I needed to run a virus scan to protect myself. The message even had the official security shield symbol on Microsoft. When I was about to run the scan, my Norton 360 warned me not to do it and I tried to cancel the scan (which I had not yet started.) The virus the warning was about was a virus that infected my computer through the warning. That's getting pretty lowdown.. infecting your computer with a virus because you're being warned about a virus. I guess I could commend the jerk who got the idea for being honest.

If I felt like commending him.
