Moroccan salt poppy, June 2007, Seattle, WA.I haven't backed up my pictures off my hard drive in six months. I have uploaded a lot of them to flickr, but I haven't done a big back up.
So today, this is what I do while I wait for software to load to my work laptop.
Remember this tragedy?
I'm still verklempt thinking of all the cool pics I lost. Then again, I can always go back and visit the Salt Lake contingent and the Steens - all in five days.
I started training with chuckit for the Seattle Half Marathon. I am going to try and get excited, I think I might want to move to the run/walk group as my goal is shorten my time, not to finish. I know I can finish, I just want to shave 30 minutes off my time. However, I see my Saturdays being sucked up with four hour walks and runs. Oh well, better than a poke in the eye and since that market is open until 2, I know I'll be able to stop and pick up my flowers at some point in time.
Yoikes.
Other than that. I'm getting ready to leave. Everything is planted, just need to pack for work trip followed by Anchorage for the half. Paranoid us (not just me) thinks we should pack for both trips and in case we're delayed, just keep our bag of ANC stuff (shoes, running gear, mucklucks) with us in case we can't get home.

Having come very close to loosing all our pics recently (there was an incident involving an external hard drive, system upgrades, the wrong power supply and said hard disk being extracted from its housing), you'd think we'd have learned our lesson.
You may have just shamed me into action.
Hey - there's only 56Gb of pics. Will only take a few mins.
And I work for a data backup company. Typical.
Have a good trip.
PS. Is a Moroccan Salt Poppy a Papaver Alpinum? Tianschanicum? Inquiring minds need to know.
I love poppies. Even more than nasties.
