WHAT HAPPENED TO SPRING?

We had such a glorious spring and now it is summer. I'm just not a summer person at all. I like the weather the rest of the year, but heat and I don't get along at all. I've found lots of friends who share that same feeling. It's a good thing Randy came to fix all the "water stuff" in our house yesterday because I know he doesn't like hot weather and getting him out in it isn't easy. I don't blame him.

Mark tried to connect my cable modem and something happened to the system. No doubt I fried Classic Cable. They are trying to fix the problem and he'll return later to try once again to make the connection. I am so excited! I have the modem with the blinking green lights on my monitor so there should be some action soon. I think I'll find a hood for it so I won't have those lights blinking in my field of vision. I hear they have a good support system through the company...so that is good. I don’t want pretend fixer people. There shouldn’t be much to complain about since we won’t be troubled by SBC.

I rather imagine SBC will lose a noticable amount of business because of this. So will the internet providers who were not first in line with broadband. Broadband high speed internet connections are very important to the future potential growth of Ellsworth. That is one thing that people require who might consider moving here. We've been saying this for years, and now it's becoming apparent.

Tonight is breakfast night at the Lorraine Café. Their Thursday night breakfasts are good, plentiful and reasonable. Besides, it’s fun going to Lorraine and talking with the people at the café. I had lunch at Orozco’s with friends so I shouldn’t need to eat at all……but…. well….

I'm interested in my granddaughter's blog about life on the east coast. It's fun to read about her new experiences. Her researcher/boss arrived today so it should be another interesting day for her. She's getting acquainted with her roommates and one is actually younger than Mackenzie so she likes that. Being the youngest is always disconcerting.
