You'll find that there is more gritty detail in the larger book, and lots of source material if you want to go look things up.

Have just completed the run to take a friend over for an outpatient arm surgery; she is at home and her medications were picked up and dropped off. I'll check in a couple of times today (since in theory the hospital wants someone to stay there in the first 12-24 hours). I can't stay there long because the smell of the cat litter is too strong almost all of the time. I believe her olfactory nerves must have been fried by the smell by now.

I have to examine my setup here to prepare for the new line for the Internet, and because I plan to use my own router I'll review instructions on that "passthrough" move. I'll have to clear a path to the modem spot (small shelves on the wall near the top of the small pantry, the line pulled through from the attic.) I'm fussy about how I want it done so will spend much of the time keeping an eye on things. The dogs will be in the kennel for the duration. I think the line will run a line from the telephone pole halfway down the back yard (at the fence with next door - the R-O-W runs across our backyards halfway down. Nextdoor neighbors have this service already and the installers buried the line across my R-O-W and under the fence and then through her landscaping before it exits her back yard and is installed on the side wall near the front of their house. Mine should be much easier (note to self - go scoop any dog droppings ahead of foot traffic back there.) I should go see what that box looks like on their house.

The savings from the switch from Spectrum to AT&T is the amount of the monthly ACLU donation, about $240 a year. Win/win.
