Unpleasant Weather Over van Sunder Land

Last weekend while I was offline due to AT&T not being able to sell us DSL promptly, the weather devastated our house. Okay, maybe that's a little overstated. It was cold. There was hail and vertical rain. You can see the hail picturesd here near the founatin. So, it was unpleasant to be walking outside. Inside, everything was okay, with the exception of having no internet connection. Internet Connection update: AT&T contacted us, they can't give us their faster connection. We don't qualify. So, we'll be getting the slower 384 kbps - 1.5 mbps connection speed. As a bonus, we have to wait longer to get connected. So, the time was pushed back until March 14. Unfortunately, we'll be leaving for China that day, so I had them postpone it until the day we return. As a result, internet will be restored to the van Sunder family on March 20th. That's three weeks without a home internet connection. It can be hard sometimes having your home thrust back into 1991. Oh well, such is the pain of living in the third world of the independent state of "name to be announced". We're still too early in our state to have a name. Check back later for more information.
