I got back to Vineland around 11:00. I unloaded the car and walked Danny. I made some lunch and sat down on my sofa to watch the news. No Cable. I went upstairs to check the computer. No internet. I looked outside and saw some cables hanging down at the pole across the street. The cable to my house seemed OK. I called comcast and talked to someone in the Carribean. He said the next available appointment was Sat. at 3pm.

I was somewhat dismayed. I called my friend to vent and then took another look at the cable going to my house. I saw it had been yanked out of the socket where it attaches to the house. I thought about going over to the Comcast Office and complaining. I had called the 800 number on the bill earlier so I decided to call the local office. I found their number in the phone book. I told the woman about the wires being down and mine was disconnected from its socket. She expedited the service call and now they will be here tomorrow between 3 and 5.

My wireless signal here in Vineland is not strong enough to stream a video and the radio is full of static. There are storms in the area although not here at present. It is hot and humid today. It was 78 degress at 6 this morning. It has been uncomfortable all day since I left my central air in the mobile home. I should have stayed there.

Fortunately, the grass doesn't need cutting and the hedge doesn't need trimming. It's a wonder because my home in Maryland needs cutting. Robbie should have it done before I get back.

I'd better sign off before I lose my connection.
