I wish more people would use this. I think it’s silly when I get updates for things occuring in Kansas and California – it’s highly unlikely I’ll be attending ;-) Take a couple of extra minutes and target the updates to those who will be most interested. photo credit: Si1very Post from: (Anti) Social DevelopmentHow to Send Updates to Facebook Fans based on their Location

After getting off the phone with Verizon I decided to test the other jack in the house – all the way on the other end from the computer. I got my laptop, DSL modem and router and header to my room. As I looked at the jack I noticed a wire hanging that I didn’t remember seeing before … the jack in the bedroom connects to outside and the had a wire that runs all the way to the other end of the house to the jack I normally use. The jack in the bedroom worked fine and I determined that my cat had pulled out the connecting wire while digging up the carpet along the baseboard – maybe there is a mouse or something in the wall. Anyway, the technician arrived early and since I had done the troubleshooting he was able to fix it super quick. I had, however, decided that I would buy a really long phone cord if they didn’t show up early in the day. Anyway, that is what I came home to. I had another great and relaxing visit even though we did the same things that we did last year. I did, however, do and see a couple of things that I didn’t last year. Across the road and down a very steep hill from the house is a little piece of lakefront property that we own. We can’t build on it because there is no right of way access to it and it would be almost impossible to get the building, sewage, etc done. But, we do have a campsite down there with a tent, fire pit, dock and a kayak. While I’ve gone to the campsite a number of times (sliding down a very steep hill to get there) I had never used the kayak before – actually I don’t think we had it before. It was kind of chilly that day but it was peaceful paddling along on the very quiet lake.

I also saw two “unusual” things. Kids digging in “kitty litter” for poker chips.

(Actually, it’s a coin search in sawdust. For each poker chip found, the kids got a silver dollar. Alex found 8!!) And I’m not quite sure … this is either Grizzly Adams, Bigfoot or a missing member of ZZ Top.

(My brother hasn’t shaved in 7 months. I was startled when he picked us up at the train station. It’s funny that he has so much gray in his beard but none in his hair. And it was even more fun to watch him try to eat a caramel apple with that beard ;-) I had a great trip and now feel ready to write about WordPress and Facebook again.
