I'M STILL ALIVE (BUT MY BROADBAND ISN'T)

I haven't been able to post much recently, due to my being very busy, and my losing my broadband internet connection intermittently. Time Warner Cable was supposed to come and fix it yesterday afternoon, but they did not show up. I won't bore you with the argument I had with their customer service representative, but I now have another appointment for next Wednesday. I'm not happy.

And now, the outage is continual. So I'm on dial-up. Even at 49.2Kbps, it's a real pain.

UP AND DOWN, UP AND DOWN

For the last three days my broadband connection through Time Warner Cable has been failing intermittently. Yesterday, after my third call to them in two days (I really hate that voice-recognition, talk-to-a-computer system) they scheduled an appointment--for Friday afternoon. I am not looking forward to another 4 days of this. And that assumes they're actually able to fix it on Friday.

CLEMENTINES ARE BACK!

Fresh Direct has started carrying clementines again--the first of the season (the first reasonably-priced ones, that is. The Food Emporium has had them at $15/box for a while. No, thank you.) Though they warn that at this time they may not be as sweet and juicy as in mid-November, the ones I got are plenty juicy, and fairly sweet. Yum!

Oops! I see they're already out-of-stock. I guess I'm not the only one who likes them.
