When I see the blue flashing lights of the black modem
across the room I feel as though I’m on a space ship – A full frontal view facing the street is
best, the technician said for receiving the signal – unlike the white modem
which could receive signals from any position.
Recently the faithful white modem developed erratic
flickering symptoms on all its ports – an anxiety attack – it no longer sent or
received signals reliably. "You mean consistently", one technician corrected" -"intermittently" another said.
I mentioned this to my daughter – “Enjoy being off the
grid” she laughed.
But now the capacity of my line has been verified – I’ve
been reinstated, upgraded – an ongoing process that has gone on for weeks has been resolved.
Communication triumphed. Confusion - no longer an issue –
comforting like a stiff drink or hot soup to warm you up when you come in
out of the cold.

The indication of the legs is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I shouldn't but I love the grid, and I'm relieved
ReplyDeletethat you're on it. I love the drawing. Amazing! Will that be $1,000 or $1500?
XOXOXO Barbara
I love the grid too and find myself far too dependent on it.
DeleteBarbara, there are far too many zeros in the figures you quote, I know you love to tease me!!!
xoxoxo, Marcia
Hi Doug
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you. He has a cyclist's legs. When he's not taking some impossible pose he cycles in mountainous regions in South America during the summer.
