On question 2, I mean to take the side off, and use canned air to get the dust out. That fan in there is the worst. Of course, take all the wires off first, and do it outside or on a porch.

 

[HollyGolightly]

05/16

1. Can you whistle? Yes

2. If you have a PC, how often do you clean it? I thought you meant scan, delete files, etc. HA! I do that frequently. I might lick my finger and rub a smudge off the screen or shake it (it's a laptop) to get the crumbs out - only when it's visibly in need.

3. Do you dread reading the news? Mostly to see if another entertainer has died. No - sometimes if there's breaking news here and it's a shooting or something violent I fret that it's too near where our daughter lives for comfort. Memphis has a high murder rate.
