Today, I got out for a GPS drive, to see what had happen after our quick little rain storm that passed through yesterday.
During the height of the storm, the larger than normal black walnuts in our back yard, where falling like small little cluster bombs, hitting the back deck with great thuds, while colorful leaves swirled in the air.

I did have concern that I would miss the fall colors because of this storm, but as I drove around, I did find that many areas in northern Chester County still had a fair amount of green leaves, but not for long.
This is my favorite time of the year for colors, and the GPS drives are just starting!
Back in early August, I ordered a new computer for myself, and like any personal item, it takes some time to figure out all the new nuances…
When I first started using Loong, everything was so new, that when I ran into a minor issue, I took a quick look, and moved on to the bigger on configuration issues.
One of the really cool things about the ASUS installation disk, is that it comes with Google Chrome as an option when installing the various motherboard drivers, and being a long time user, this was great!
I was able to complete my base OS install without having to launch IE once!
Fast forward a couple of days…
With the basics of installation over and done with, and really beginning to use the computer in a ‘normal’ fashion, I noticed that one day, when I tried to check my Audible.com account for a new book, I was unable to do ANYTHING once I got to the site.
I could see an image of the website, and I could refresh the site and images changed, but no matter where I clicked, nothing would happen, even in the bare-bones links in the footer!
This had never happened to me in my 32-bit environment, running the same software configuration, and why on only one website?
Immediately, added Audible.com to the Cookie Exceptions in Chrome, and still nothing…
This is very strange…
Okay, time to read the Forums, but wait, I can’t get in via Chrome…
Thankfully, I got in without issue with Firefox, and started to poke around to see if anyone else had a similar issue… Nothing…
I Google-d the internet, still nothing…
Oh well… on to the next thing, I had a workaround.
Fast forward some more, a new school year has started, and I have new credits in my Audible account. Time for a new book.
I’m already in Chrome, and after I type in the address, I am reminded of the issue from a couple of weeks ago, that I had fluffed off because I had already found a workaround.
More searching… Nothing…
I finally typed up an email report, and sent it to the Audible Help Desk.
I received a standard “Thank you for your report” email, followed by another note suggesting that I do a un-install and re-install of Chrome.
