Small Town Living

As I reported, my modem went out the other day. I put one from an old computer in there, but it apparently doesn't work either. I was fairly certain I had at least one more laying around, but all I could find were network cards, so I called the Radio Shack and they told me they were waiting on a shipment which is supposed to arrive later today... I could have driven the 30 miles to the other small town, which at least has a Wal-Mart, but there's no guarantee they have a modem either and I didn't want to waste the money on a long-distance call when I knew they would transfer me and place me on hold, etc.

In the meantime, I've been coming to the library to do what I need to do, but it only stays open a half-day on Wednesdays, so I couldn't get down here in time yesterday. Well okay, technically I could have, but I didn't really have much to say, so I skipped it.

I do apologize for this, but it's just part of living in such a small place. There is another library and I could have gone there, but like I say, I've basically been out of step with the rest of the world since Monday or Tuesday - whenever it was this first happened - and there hasn't been much to report. And if there has been, you likely knew it before I did.

I'm basically killing time here right now, waiting for the Radio Shack order to come in so I can go get a new modem and fool with all of that... at any rate, we'll be back to our regularly scheduled program soon, I promise!
