Writer's Block: Taking it on the road

[Error: unknown template qotd]

In 1979 we moved from Pittsburgh to Florida. Took us two days. We slept in North Carolina just so we could do breakfast and souvenir shopping at South Of The Border, SC. Lynn had an adventure with her cat at a Rest Area.

We listened to a lot of disco. It hadn't died yet.

PS: Actually, I think it took us more than three days. 55 was the national speed limit then because of the Energy Crisis and fuel rationing. We stopped first in Baltimore at Dad's brother and his family there. Then NC/SC state line. Then I think we took one more stop in Georgia before heading down to Peachtree.

This May Be My Last Post Here For A While

After some battles with the Death Star, we secured an LG AT&T USBConnect Adrenaline Quickstart (with the frickin' two-year contract) for Mom's computer. So far, the new wireless account works with her Internet Explorer, but not with Windows Live Mail. The latter isn't so bad as VIC is still offering WebMail--for the moment. I hope I can network Precious with her compy soon so I can also use the wireless account...but there are no guarantees yet.

VIC dial-up service ends in nine hours. I'm going to try to get as much out of it as I can still.
