Yesterday I had to move from where I had been staying for the last 6 months because it was time to shut that campground down for the season. Once I had the trailer in place I it took quite a while to find a hole in the trees to aim my satellite dish so I would have access to the internet. Then when I went to reboot the system once the alignment was complete, the modem crashed. Hard. I am writing from the laundromat where I can link into the hotel's system outside the park. With luck I will have a new modem on Friday - otherwise it will be the first of next week. If you don't see a "Bird Quiz" this weekend you will know why, though I will try to get to one of the 2 sources I know of for access.

The photo was taken yesterday morning at sunrise from Inspiration Point.

One thing I do find a little humorous about having to use other sources for my internet is that, apparently, here in the reddest county in the reddest state of the country, I cannot access DailyKos. It is where I go for political chat and on this system the site does not exist. I can't help but wonder if it is being blocked by the provider. All the more humorous when we note that a just out Zogby Poll has the incumbent pretzelnut at 24% approval - about where Tricky Dick was when he resigned. Ha.
