High Speed Internet

Elkmont, Alabama

Weather: low 22 degrees, high 28 degrees, cloudy, light freezing rain late in the afternoon, sleet

The weather warmed a little bit, if a high of 28 degrees is considered warming. We haven't seen a temperature above freezing for about five days, but there's hope for tomorrow. In the meantime, the roads in the area have been getting ice on them today, and I can imagine it will be worse tonight.

Carolyn and I were talking about the prolonged cold weather and how difficult it would be in the RV now. I reminded her that the RV had wheels, and we could have gone farther south where it was a little warmer. Her response was that there wasn't any place that was warm now. She might have a point, since the wind chill in Key West today was 30 degrees. Where the heck did all that global warming go? The proponents of global warming would have us believe that this cold weather is an even stronger indication that the planet is warming up. Bah, hum bug!

With the roads being like they were today, we stayed at home, going through paperwork that had accumulated recently, filing the paperwork if it was needed, and shredding what wasn't needed. Have you ever noticed how fast paper builds up when you ignore it for a while?

In the afternoon, the Internet technician came by and installed the necessary stuff for us to be able to get high speed Internet. He arrived about 1330 hours, and didn't finish until almost 1730 hours, as he ran into a lot of problems. Plus, The cold weather didn't help any. By the time he left, he was about to freeze. He got us hooked up, and I have to say the air card doesn't have a thing on this high speed connection. The computer is smokin'! If everything continues to work well after a few days, I'll place the air card account in standby until we need it again.

Carolyn has stayed at home for the last three days because she was trying to get her vertigo symptoms stabilized. Today, she said she was starting to get cabin fever, so I guess she's feeling better. Maybe I can get her out and about tomorrow.

More later, be safe.
