Tweets and Temples

We’re back at the RV from the Columbia River Temple. We struggled out of bed about 5:30 a.m. PDT this morning and were actually out of the RV driving to the temple at 6:24 a.m. this morning. It was about a ten minute drive from the campground to the temple. I was pleasantly surprised at how many people were there. We had thirteen sisters and ten brothers in the session meaning there were seventeen empty seats. The temple is small but very beautiful. The Celestial Room is gorgeous! We had a delightful session and the time was well worth it. In a few minutes we’ll unhook the utilities, hook up the car, and drive away. We think we’ll drive through the Mt. Rainier National Park on our way to Seattle.

For the past year one of the “hot” topics on the Internet has been Twitter.  I finally set up my account the other day. Apparently this setup allows one to send little “tweets” either as text messages or through the web browser or such to your Twitter account. Then anyone subscribed to this feed will receive those little “tweets” however they choose, such as on their cell phones or computer screens, or such. So, who has a Twitter account? It’d be interesting to see whether or not this has any value or usefulness.

Nina has an amazing amount of trouble with her Windows laptop, particularly trying to connect to wireless access points. My Macbook simple connects. No hassle, no fuss or bother. It finds the strongest, open signal and just connects. If there are no open access points, but secured access points are available, it’ll ask which one I want to connect to and lets me put in the key and it connects. This sure seems to be something that Dell needs to get figured out on their laptops. One of these days Nina will be ready for a new notebook computer. I think the next one will be a Mac based on our experience while traveling for the past couple of months.  Time to get moving!
