    > about making time to do a backup of your computer data.    
      
    JM>   I have back ups of back ups.   
      
     You have to...even backups can fail (been there, done that). I guess   
   that may also apply if the backup camera on the car goes out...but I   
   obviously won't be exclusively dependent on that.   
      
     I think of the joke where this father and son are in an elevator, and   
   this heavy set woman comes in. As the door closes, the boy says "She    
   has a big butt!!". His Dad scolds him, saying that "some people can't   
   help that, because of medical issues". All of a sudden, the woman's   
   pager goes off, and the boy panics "Look out, Dad!! She's backing up!!"

    > wonder why they needed a Virginia and a West Virginia.   
      
    JM>   Kenova is a town there here, founded in the 1850s.  At the time we   
    JM> were still part of VA.   
      
     Interesting.   
      
    JM>   My memory is so good, I can remember things that never happened.   
      
     Hell froze over, Social Security and Medicare made a profit, Congress   
   balanced the budget every year, etc.    
      
    JM>   Ask me what I did last week and I have to think.  Ask me about   
    JM> something 60 years and the answer is immediate.   
      
     Same here. It's pretty bad when you have to start worrying about   
   hygiene in the bathroom. :P   
      
    JM>   Joe (why did I come into this room???)   
      
     Your ears were burning from messages in this echo.
