This has been a rather taxing few days, as there was no water from before I woke up Saturday, to last night at about 5pm. Ugh, and no heat, which is not so bad here as it was not cold, but STILL. The water pump had died (could it be related to the NOISE I complained of for weeks and weeks?? That magically ceased a week ago? And sounded like some turning on and off and on and off ad infinitum? I learned one thing -- it's difficult but not impossible to sleep in earplugs, but they don't block all the noise.) and that was an unhappy thing.
As if that wasn't bad enough MY BLOG WAS DOWN -- actually my whole hosting company had their plug pulled.

Our Network Operations Center caught the violator before we did, and took the extreme (in our opinion) action of completely severing our server's connected to the internet. Yes, this prevented the spammer from continuing to spam, but it also resulted in ALL or ouf clients losing connectivity to their website and email, as well as us. "
I wrote: "It's ok we still love you."
Marty replied: "Thanks! :)

So I spent a lot of time in There, and funny things happened. I was sitting down looking at something when a fellow (he was in England) came over and started talking to me. It turned out he had just started a free taxi company, and asked me if I wanted to join. I said sure, and that I would design some shirts (this is all virtual you understand). Then I was in the Boneyard, and loaned my board to a newbie. Someone was hovering nearby, and when the newbie left he said, "I can't resist, hehe," and fired his paintgun at the newbie. I ran down the hill yelling, "Put your forcefield up!!" Then a dunebuggy appeared and I asked if I could get in. The driver said yes, and when I explained what'd happened, asked me if the paintgun guy needed to be taught a lesson. Some funny back-and-forth patter -- then the driver leapt out of the buggy and fired HIS paintgun, bam bam bam, at the other guy. We rode around for a while then I took off. It was all very hilarious.

I want to ask for thoughts about improving the world -- what do people need? How can things be organised?
