One pays a price for living in the country: satellite modem, no cable, no DSL. One can be temporarily put out of business by an errant cloud, and every once in a blue moon something goes seriously wrong.

Naturally, my satellite hook-up expired totally around noon on Friday. I need a service call and won’t get one until Tuesday at the soonest.

I am posting this via an emergency dial-up account (which I managed to resurrect), but dial-up is almost impossible to use for postings.

Blogging will be extremely limited until my satellite receiver is fixed.
