Future Engineer

Or perhaps a future blaster!

Last week, Annabelle grabbed my digital card reader with a Compact Flash Card still in it. Before I even realized it, she had pulled out the Compact Flash Card and literally opened the digital card reader so that the guts were exposed.

I grabbed it from her immediately, and put it back together again. It worked fine until last night, and then it started geeking out on me.

Now, as I was trying to make a backup of some digital pictures to look at them to design our Christmas card, it started to slowly die. The light signaling that it was plugged in grew dimmer and dimmer, and it smelled like it was going to catch on fire. I tried it again several times until I finally decided I didn't want to take the chance of losing all of my pictures still on the card.

I guess that is one reason not to buy a smaller and cheaper version of some things. I'm going to need to buy another one very soon as I used that thing almost daily! Perhaps Santa will bring me a much nicer one! Hint, hint Grandmama and Granddaddy!
