Computer Problems...

So even though I have been back for almost two weeks now, I still haven't posted anything. There are a couple of reasons for that. One is definitely laziness/culture shock.

THe biggest reason is sheer idiocy - mine. This last weekend I was in Bellingham visiting friends and had a minor accident with my USB Flash drive the pictures are saved on. Basically the USB interface at the end of the flash drive is bent so it can no longer read what is on the flash drive.

So Briana should be able to get her pictures from wherever she backed them up, right?

Absolutely, if that place existed. I spent 4 weeks in Ecuador, going to a family wedding, doing tourist things, meeting amazing new people. But I NEVER, NOT ONCE saved my pictures anywhere but on that one USB flash drive.

"And the award for Alltime Stupid Computer Usage goes to...."

So I am hoping that I can get a data recovery shop to get them off the drive. At a certain point, the pictures are really priceless, but unfortunatley my current price tolerance is a bit low.....

At the end of the day, I don't really need the pictures to get up to date on my posts, but I know that is what you all want. I will start drafting posts and playing catch up soon while I am waiting for the final outcome on the data recovery.

I will keep you all "posted" on the picture recovery. And maybe a few other things as well. :o)
