8hyenasToday I decided to organize my desktop and was nearly overcome. You see, all my folders have helpful names like "meh.", "Meh.","Arg.", and the always popular, "murgle."
I miss the internet with all my being.
I especially miss the university's connect speed, I must remain content with sitting in the parking lot of an IGA an hour away over a mountain and siphoning off of a lone wireless symbol.
Last night I asked my mother if she thought there would be free wireless in the little town nearby (5 miles) and she laughed and said, "I don't think so. They just now got an ATM." This makes her sound vaguely technology savvy. She's not. It's a miracle she got ATM correct usually it's an AVM.
Subtract the lack of the internet and it's a great winter break. The weather is almost into the 80's and it's sunny everyday. I would normally hate this but it's a nice change from Seattle's weather.
A couple of days ago I spent hours digging firebreaks around our house. Which basically amount to small muddy ditches. We're living in a cloud of smoke. I have Loratadine and don't mind. I'm having Fire Fear though, the thought that everything you have can be taken away from you in an instant is terrifying. But, as my mother reminds me, the Little People will protect the house and animals. I hope so, the horses are all lined up in their fields digging with their hooves for roots and raising gigantic clouds of dust. Ponds, creeks, and rivers have all diminished. Murgle.
