Is That Bagpipes I Hear?

It is poster time again as my little community gears up for another annual Caledonian Games weekend. This week I did a "quick and dirty" job of throwing together six big posters and a better job of some letter-sized computer ones. Last night and today we set up the souvenir booths, information displays, and hauled decorations down to the Ceidlih (kay-lee). When that was done, I ran home to quickly make camping passes and a list of camping rules on the computer. Just before I printed out the passes the electricity flicked off and then back on. Any experienced computer user knows to periodically save what they are working on for just such a surprise, but do you think I had done that? *sigh*

Me (head bowed, hands covering my face): "I cannot believe that just happened."
Mom (struggling unsuccessfully to balance her checkbook): "Huh? Did you do that?"

And, as I reopen Corel Draw, I wonder to myself if I am, indeed, living all alone in this crazy bubble?
