*sigh*

  After being out of town for three days with no
internet service and a dead phone (someone forgot
to pack my charger) I was really missing contact
with the cyber world.  I did take my tablet but the
hotel I stayed in had terrible wi fi signal and it was
impossible to stay on-line.  Being on a hobby
related trip I really depend on the internet for pricing
and information.  Well, it just wasn't to be.  Of course
I, in no way, wanted it for social interaction with friends
or exchanging jokes or other such Tom Foolery.  That
never entered my mind.  Just let it be noted that I did
miss it dearly over the last three days. 
   And then today I arrived home unpacked and settled
down in my swivel throne to catch up !  Big mistake.
Should have stayed in PA.  Found out the world is still
broken.  Everybody still hates everybody, disease is
still rampant, California is still going to fall into the ocean
and although everybody on Earth proclaims the country is going
to Hell in a hand basket, nobody has any sort of idea or plan
to fix it.  The world is pretty much just where it was when
I left it !   I think I may go to the woods !
