Here is the tower after yesterday’s construction. Still no internet service, but the tower is high enough to reach over the crest of the hills and get a signal from town. (They used a “cherry picker” truck to determine that it would be the right elevation before building it in case you’re wondering…)

Now… will the […]

This is part of the saga of work at home people in the boondocks past suburbia.
In particular it’s about my wife needing high speed for her business because the old land line systems for medical transcription are being phased out. So it’s GET SOMETHING fast or lose accounts. And I also need it for […]

When using search engines to find home-based jobs, think about the content of legitimate job ads and try to work with phrases (not single words) that appear in those ads.
