Post 101 and Moments Dumb

This happens to be post 101. I hope the visitors, who have been stopping by, have enjoyed the writing and photos.

In this little blurb, I have to mention that I just acquired a laptop, nothing fancy, but it does require setting things correctly. Well, when I wired it to my internet connection, I didn't get a signal to the net. These days, most things are done automatically, so I looked through this and that and couldn't figure out what was wrong. So I finally called my service provider, and after a few moments, he checked things and told me that I had my modem on standby. Dumb! I forgot to turn the modem connection on...and thus, I had made something simple into a bigger extravaganza than it needed to be.
