The first pass of this trip.

David has been on a plan. This relates to behaviors they display in the residence hall. As a result he was at risk of losing part of his pass / visit with me. I am not complaining.

In the end, if you don’t want your data to be used in any way shape or form, you need to turn off your computer and go back to the cave. Sounds rather harsh, don’t you think? It is a reality. If you put it on a computer and then connect said computer to the Internet, a person who wants your data bad enough, will get it. Freaked out yet? So I have the uncopyright.
