Everything is working at the farm and all our technological gadgets are up to speed. The cell phones work like a champ, now that Ken installed the booster. We have four bars instead of one and even in the bedroom, which is on the opposite side of the antennae, we have two. You no longer are forced to walk out to the field and cock your ear in order to be sure your call will go through.
Last evening we watched the final of the Stanley Cup alternately with a program on The History channel citing the top 100 gadgets of the last one hundred years. Tim Wu was one of the ten expert panelists for choosing the top ten. It was an interesting program, made more so because many of the gadgets were developed during our life time. So our television was working well too even though the Vancouver team was not able to figure out what to do with Boston.
We have two systems for accessing the Internet; one is via satellite using Wild Blue and one using the cell signal, so we can use the computers both downstairs in the office or upstairs in the main room. And we both can work at the same time which is a good thing.
Music can be played on both levels too. I am now listening to an old Louis Armstrong disc. Ken puts a new set of discs into the machine every morning and we listen all day. We are listening to music we have not heard for years and I am enjoying it.
Of course, now that everything is in good working order, we will soon depart for Nova Scotia, which is the story of our life. It is interesting that it doesn't bother us.
