Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

We have desktops here and a room to use them.
Desktop here as well (plus a tablet for carrying around, with nothing of any importance on it). Hubby's a tech guy, but I don't trust anything automatic. I have 2 extra hard drives shoved in my tower and I organize files so everything is in one partition, so it's easy to manually copy/paste backups for everything in about 2 clicks. If one backup fails, there's another.
 
We have an office too, but love our laptops. We have 3, so it's never a huge emergency if one gives us trouble. Always backups available. Just didn't want to take the time for that right now. Kind of a busy time to be dealing with it.

I want to take my computer with me if I want to sit at the breakfast bar with my coffee and read the news, or if I feel like sitting in the living room and casting an online program to the big screen. We don't watch TV anymore, but have one, and that's how we use it these days, as well as the occasional Christmas movie. We truly cannot find a single program on any TV stations that we want to watch.
 
If you remember I mentioned a while back that I suspected that I had truffles growing underneath one of the fir trees in my yard, and I was right!

Today I gently raked the duff from about a square yard of soil and found three truffles, but I don't think they are ripe. There's not much of an aroma or flavor to them. They smell like the fir needle duff they were under and taste kind of like mushrooms. I believe they are Oregon white truffles.

I read that they're at their best for only a week or so. I haven't noticed any sign of rodents digging them up like I saw last year, yet anyway. I'll try raking up more when the animals start feeding on them. Maybe they'll be better then.
