Travel
I keep hearing things today, such as my doorbell and phones ringing but they turned out to be coming from the television. There is also a squeak that I hear periodically but haven't figured out what it is or where exactly it is coming from.
I made some chicken vegetable soup today and it is really good. I had a small bowl for lunch and am planning on bowl having a large bowl for my supper.
I think it might just be a sign of age, but I've noticed lately that my legs ache, sort of like when you walk a good distance and aren't quite used to it. If I had a hot tub I'd be relaxing in it right now. This is an ongoing thing lately, and I'm thinking about buying some kind of cream to see if it helps - such as Ben Gay but the kind that is odorless.
I've noticed advertising lately, and received a flyer in the mail today, for a company called "Clear" and their 4G internet device. They say you can get unlimited 4G internet with no long-term contract, no overage charges, and a 15 day risk-free satisfaction guarantee, for $34.99 a month. Or I should say "Plans starting at $34.99 a month". The flyer shows 3 different devices and says you can have home internet you can take with you, which is what I need.
I'm currently paying $50 or 55/month for the verizon MiFi, which I have never been satisfied with. I've had a lot of trouble with it, had to have the first one replaced, and now it has to be plugged into a wall outlet in order to work. I've had it for about a year and it should be working. It's too bad I lost my 3G MiFi on my trip last year because it was perfect!
I did check out the website which is at: gotoclear.com/rc84gwd. You can cut and paste the link if you are interested, and I'd be very interested to know if any readers have had experience with this company or this equipment.
I'm thinking about going back to an aircard, which I hate to do because they seem more fragile than a unit that sits on a table or desk. I would really prefer to travel with my own internet connection rather than rely on public/motel connections. I rarely go to MacDonalds or other public sites, although the Motel 6 connections that are free seem to be ok. Some of them charge for internet though.
Speaking of aircards, I had AT&T's card several years ago and it worked pretty well and was easy to use as well as to track monthly usage. Then the card was under Sierra Wireless (or something like that) and it was much more complex to use and didn't give me the usage information easily.
I hate to keep saying the same thing, but why does every upgrade have to involve making the service more difficult to use. I am going crazy with iPhoto now, a program that I found so easy to use, and to store and access my photos, but with the updated versions it is terribly confusing to perform the simplest operation.
I've complained enough and I think I'm getting hungry. Later -

More about my ATT service: I again called this morning to have my land line svc removed, but first I wanted to know what the difference would be in my bill. The reps talk in circles and never give you a straight answer, so I kept at this guy...
- Not A Good Start To The Morning
I looked at my email 1st thing this morning to find a notice from AT&T of my latest bill, which is well over double what I've been paying for TV and internet. I called them to cancel the entire package. I can do without TV if I have...

I started deleting cookies from my computer last night and finished with it this morning. I'm sure I got rid of hundreds of them. I'll probably find out sooner or later that I deleted something I should have kept, and it really aggravates...

It is even hotter today and I had to turn on the cooler earlier in the day. The wonderful "Delta Breeze" is not coming up the delta due to weather patterns out in the Pacific, so the nights aren't as cool and the day gets warm pretty quick. ...
