What's a blogger without her... computer?
Uh? Still very passionate about her cause... working on causes, but frustrated about not being able to update her blog. That's me.
Little story. My computer, it blew up. Literally. There was a beep. What appeared to be some smoke? And, yes, that oh so pleasant electrical burning smell. Yup. Fried.
Took the thing in, and.... toast. At least, the hard drive was saved, meaning all my pictures and documents that I had not yet put on external storage. Lesson learned? Back everything up immediately.
One of my new projects to add to the list? Saving for a new computer. : / It's amazing how much we rely on our computers for finding out about news when we are so passionate about a cause such as this. News articles, journals, other blogs, social networking, emailing, chatting... it's amazing what you take for granted when your computer is always at your fingertips... .and then it's g.....o.....n......e.
I now rely on my phone for most of my work, and get to a computer when I can. It hasn't stopped me from my work, researching daily to find out how our whales and dolphins are, especially those in Taiji, getting involved in various projects, and even coming up with an idea that will hopefully turn out to be really awesome... if I can get it to work out. ;) (details on that in the near future... when I have more of it hammered out!)
The trial starts back up next week, OSHA vs. SeaWorld- starting on November 15th. I will make it a point to update my blog along the way, as this trial is something I have followed from the very start. I hope a decision will come soon, and things swing in favor for poor Tilly, the whale who is still stuck in this whole mess.
I want to leave you with this. A woman who has become one of my best friends, is an amazing photographer. She lights up my life, because every once and a while, she will send me a text or an email saying, "I'm going out to look for whales/dolphins for you today!" Well, it's whale migrating season where she lives (California), and she went out looking this past weekend. No whales to be found, but she sent me 2 pics of dolphins. Makes me smile every single time- because that's one awesome friend. And, I have to mention, that I have never seen a dolphin or whale in the wild... which is why her pictures mean so much. So, if your out there reading this, LDF- you seriously rock. Oh, and your next letter is going to be a real riot. ;)
It's friends like Lindsey... that keep a blogger without her computer smilin'.... because I gets awesome pics like these. Dolphins in their natural home.... simple, pure, and amazing.
Until next time...............
