Everything's gone all to hell

I've got a cold, kids are all sick, I've got four packages - all way overdue - ready to go and I have no time to get to the post office, My vintage Braves binder got a pot of water dumped on it, I've had at least three massive card avalanches today alone, I can't find half of my collection amongst all the junk, I don't even know who I owe cards to anymore and this morning this happened:


The 'puter, she is dead. Well, maybe not dead, but coughing up blood at least. I can probably save the stuff on the hard drive but I gotta get a new one. This will cause some complications:

No scans till I get a new computer.
No pics off my phone until I get a new computer.
No images off my hard drive until I have the time to do some troubleshooting.

Posting will be erratic to say the least over the next week. I can still surf, e-mail and even post, I've got a Linux box for that. I'm too lazy to deal with the drivers for my scanner and stuff so card images will be scarce. In the meantime I'm going to to some organizing, e-mailing mailing, sorting and wantlisting. Tomorrow though, I'm done with today right now. This minor setback might force me to get creative with some posts in the near future. Hmm, there might be a silver lining in this bluescreen after all.

1989 Upper Deck Crash Davis

So yeah. I'm drooling over a fake Braves card. Thanks Orlando Sentinel for showing me another awesome card I can't have. Actually I have a color printer and three brand new ink cartridges, hmmm... Crash Davis would have been a hell of an improvement over Jody Davis in '89. We already know he was good with developing young pitchers and I'm sure he could have hit .169 like Jody. The Nuke LaLoosh reverse negative rookie card I can do without. If I want the rookie card of someone with a million dollar arm and a ten cent head I'll look through my John Rocker cards. He sure could have used a Crash and Annie in his life to kick his ass every once in a while. I think I heard on the Regular Guys that he allegedly might wear women's underwear though, but I thankfully have no confirmation of that. If you'll excuse me I feel the need to go watch a great baseball movie right now. A League of Their Own. That's right, Bull Durham is nice and all, but Annie Savoy sure can't hit like Dottie Hinson.
