Please click on the commenters’ links to see what they’re about. Each different, and eloquent, in totally different ways. I love the ‘Sphere!

Roxy: Thanks for the kind words, and the vote. My record is appalling in Battles of the Blogs at BlogExplosion, and I actually won today. I’m sure your vote tipped it in.

Faith: I appreciate your comments; I guess misery does love company! At least you heard from that mythical public affairs guy that supposedly monitors the ‘Sphere looking for bad press. Anything good happen?

You have my Comcastic sympathy and my Battle of the Blogs vote tonight…Comcast bought little Patriot Media a few months back, and it has been nothing but torture for me since they started their “transition” (read: constant interruption of service…have you tried re-starting your modem?). The other day it got so bad that I started searching out satellites to put on my roof (or, if possible, on my head in a little propeller-beanie). If I find one that makes sense, I will let you know.

Roxy

It went on for years, especially in warm weather. Turns out they needed to rewire the cable that runs into the house. But, getting them to do it wasn’t so easy. Check this out:
