Week 7 - Day 44: 36th Day of Dallas County Shelter in Place

Water.
Humans all need water to live.
Animals all need water to live.
Things that grow on the earth, all need some type of moisture to live.

Do you know what dies when you give it a cup of water?
Your computer.

Do you know how I know this?
Because I gave mine a cup of water on Sunday night.
Hell, I was stingy, I only gave it a sip of a full cup - maybe like 1/3 of a cup.
The result was still death.

Maybe not complete death, it is urping noises when I attempt a boot up.
So there is some tiny bit of life still there.
But without full vibrant life, I cannot do the one thing on my whiteboard that I was supposed to do TWO weeks ago with my computer... know what that was?

Cloud.
Computers need the cloud to have an after life.
The cloud is their savior.
It is like the sci-fi movies where the essence of a human is stored in a disc and can be re-inserted in any human body.
Same thing with a computer - their very soul can be uploaded to Dropbox and live on long after their shell dies from something simple, like a tiny sip of water it did not need, but evidently wanted.

Learn.
Learn from my heartache and grief this week.
Learn from my mistakes.
BACK UP YOUR COMPUTERS AND CELL PHONES!!

Me too...
Although my cell phone, I wish for it to die.

It is never the one I want.
The good ones die too early.
The bad ones live on and on and on.

So many life lessons in my electronics.
Have a good Tuesday April 28th (says my whiteboard).

That means we need to remember that tomorrow is the day a Secret Love comes out on Netflix.  
The documentary of two women's love that spanned Centuries as they pretended and lived as Cousins.  Looking forward to watching their story.
