Home Refinancing Sites Overwhelmed
The HomeSide Lending refinancing section has been down most of the day. The home page works, but following any of the three graphic highlights or text links to the refinancing section returns a 404 error. Can't get in to finish our application. The last few days have seen many internal server errors while working on the application. Similar problems on the Costco/Lending Tree site.
New Bed and Dog Covered With Burrs
The bed which Crystal and Nate purchased was delivered today. Not sure where to put the old one yet. This is only a problem for a short time since they should know about their apartment next week. They'll probably move out in early September, a few weeks before the wedding.
Interesting coincidence: One of the delivery men attends their church and has a dog which is a Chihuahua Pomeranian mix.
Misty (Crystal's Chihuahua) was outside on the hillside with me while I was watering. She became tangled in a mass of burrs, which took a long time to cut out of her fur.

Kevin writes: "I know you have trouble with numbers, so here's a handy guide to relative speeds in orders of magnitude."
Bluetooth is 10 times faster than a 56k modem
USB is 10 times faster than Bluetooth
802.11b is as fast as USB
10baseT is as fast as USB
100baseT is 10 times faster than 10baseT
FireWire is 4 times faster than 100baseT and 40 times faster than USB
Gigabit Ethernet is 10 times faster than 100baseTThank you, Kevin."
