Good morning everyone and Happy Humpday! Hope you all have a Wonderful Wednesday. Hope I do too.

Take good care of yourselves. Be alert, stay healthy, and stay free.

I'm very happy to have completed all my necessary Internet work by mid-morning. The road crew is back now with a fleet of big trucks and I expect their work to resume shortly. So... whatever.

Weather is too nice to avoid yard work, so I've been out front raking leaves. Back inside now watching football and eating crumb cake fresh out of the oven.

For those keeping score, my Internet is alive this morning and for that I'm thankful. College football throughout the day and Svengoolie tonight all come to me via OTA TV, so I won't be needing the Internet for my entertainment. As long as it keeps working long enough for me to send moves in all my Correspondence Chess games, that's all I really want from it today.

Today's Internet outage was ~7 hrs. long. Yesterday's was over 3 hrs. long, and the day before our Internet was down for 2 ½ hrs. All these outages are caused by road work in front of my house that is scheduled to continue for 2 more weeks. [/sigh]

The question of the morning: for my outside work today shall I work on the front yard leaves, or shall I do more cleaning and organizing on the back porch? Hmm... Have to think about that over another cup of coffee.

Following radio broadcasts of football and basketball games is much better for my peace of mind than watching the games on TV. On the radio there's much less intrusion of the current social propaganda.

Happy to have good college basketball to listen to tonight: Michigan St. tips off against Duke in a few minutes.

Making this a better day by making a point NOT to follow the “news.” Instead I've got Christmas music playing. Heck, I might even buy a little Christmas tree this afternoon.
