More Like the Hare Than the Tortoise

I’m talking about my internet connection again. Today it’s faster, occasionally, but only in short fits. Then I’ll have no connection at all for a while.

The problem is wider than just my provider. I waited in line in the store today behind a woman trying to pay by debit card. The connection timed out three times and then went through on the fourth.

So let’s do a fall photo instead, assuming of course, that I can even upload one.

Aha! It worked. Eventually.

 

This is Lake Labarge, the location, we’re told, of the cremation of Sam McGee. If you don’t have a clue what I’m talking about, here is a link to a YouTube video of a rather interesting (slow, but not excurciatingly so) recitation of the Robert Service poem.
