This morning I managed to get one post up (below), but future posts may be tricky. It rained here last night, you see, and Mediacom's high technology is incompatible with moisture, especially if the wind exceeds 3 mph. Generally a sprinkle will knock me off the internet altogether until a tech shows up, but this week Mediacom is treating me to an online range of fun flaws, from internet slowness to, on some sites, permanent hangups. Its comically named "Customer Service" department first told me this morning that a tech would arrive in — 30 days. About this, I gently objected. So Mediacom then promised to rush out a tech next Wednesday.
Nevertheless, I shall persevere. Thus I hope to see you again real soon, perhaps even today. —PM
