I have been having a lot of problems getting my pictures to upload to Photobucket. They have taken up to five hours and sometimes could not load them up at all because my Cricket Broadband (more like dial-up) would go dormant. Other times when I was writing a comment and would hit the publish button, what I wrote would go to “cyber comment heaven”. It would then proceed to inform me that I was not connected to the Internet.
Last night was the final straw when I was not able to connect at all. Called their worthless technical support around 2:30 a.m. only to get a recording saying they were closed. I recall when I had MSN dial-up… I was able to get in touch with them 24/7.
This morning I was finally able to reach them and was told my modem was the culprit and I needed to go to the store to pick up a new one. Since I have insurance it would cost me $20.00 plus tax. Wonder what it would cost if I did not have insurance? Posed the question to the lady and she told me she had no idea. Talk about knowledgeable sales staff!
A trip to the only Cricket store in town on a Saturday with the limited parking space as well as sitting capacity of that store was not exactly what I wanted to do today but oh well… I do like my Internet…slow and all. To think that in Houston I have four Cricket stores within a 5-mile radius of my house, including one that I can even walk to if need be.
When I got back home there was this small cat with black stripes curled up by my chair in the front porch. At first I thought someone had dumped him/her but then I realized it was about 3 or 4 months old and very skinny. It broke my heart to see this poor cat but right now I cannot take in any pets.
Walter came by but he got spooked when he saw me and retreated back home. He came back several times afterwards but he never did touch the water I left out for him. Poor horse being out in the sun has probably fried his brain and he does not know who I am anymore. At least he does remember there is plenty of grass for him to eat here.

I am pretty tired this evening so I think I am going to turn in early…well that is early for me. By that I mean I won’t be going to bed at 5:00 a.m.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
