I will miss you, Internet!

The adventures on Hill Drive abound but one thing that we will not have for at least a month is dear sweet Internet.  Turns out we are in the worst spot for Internet.  I was just about ready to sign up for HughesNet which is satellite Internet when I decided to call Rising Sun Company's (and Best Jewelry & Loan's) amazing IT guy.  Seriously, if you are ever having computer problems or need network help, you have to call Ken Wales with Wales Technologies!  He introduced me to a very fast solution to slow Internet in rural areas in the Central San Joaquin Valley...unWired Broadband, Inc.  This Internet is supposed to be even faster than our Verizon DSL!  The test is whether or not we can see Rocky Hill from our house.  Did we pass?  Barely!  Will climbed on the roof and reported that he could see the top of the hill from the far corner tippy-top.  Yippee!  Only down side is that their installation is backed up for about a month.  So, this will probably be one of the last posts you will see for another month till I'm back online.  Blog you soon!
