Roaming Backups

I’m currently carless. Well, I’ll have it back today, so this particular state won’t last that long, unless something horrible happens.
After I dropped my car off, I went out to dinner with my parents. When my dad handed me his coat so I could put it on the seat next to me, I realized that he had a computer backup tape in his pocket. I asked about it and that happened to be his offsite backup tape which he apparently carries around with him. So it’s more of a “roaming backup”. It seems to me that’s not the best plan for keeping your data secure in the event of a natural disaster. Espically since it’s in his office most of the time. I told him he should probably rethink the plan. He said he panicked this morning because it was warm out today and the tape was in his winter coat.
In other news, I bought grapes yesterday. Mmm…grapes. I haven’t had grapes in a looong time. I’m on a quest for healthier foods to snack on. Grapes seemed a logical choice. And they were on sale.
The Result of Sleeping In

On Saturday I was supposed to wake up in the morning and take my car in to get an oil change, and a state inspection since it’s due this month. Plus put on some snow tires. Note the key phrase in there “supposed to”. I forgot to set my alarm and slept right on through the appointment, so that means tonight I have to meet my dad out there and leave my car so they can do everything tomorrow. Then pick it up later.
So I’m out a car tonight and tomorrow morning. I believe the plan is my mom is going to drive me to work. Anyway, on the bright side, at least I get to go out to dinner with my parents tonight after we drop the car off. Yay! (Any time I don’t have to eat my cooking…it’s a good thing)
