4 Days . . . . .



That's how long it took me to get this posted - the internet out here has been horrible! It is well known that Alaska has the slowest average internet in the nation, so you can imagine what it's like on an island sometimes. Remember that Youtube video of the Berrimilla? It took all night to upload. And - Wait! There's More! - I get all this stellar performance for the bargain basement rate of $142/month. That includes basic cable as we use a cable modem, but since I don't watch TV, it's all internet fees in my book . . .

So! We've been busy picking blueberries, averaging 40 cups or so per night. Along with salmon berries, our crab stash, and some salmon, the freezer is shaping up nicely. The pollock season is wrapping up and cod season is in full swing and there is beginning to be a fall feel to the air in the evenings. HOPEFULLY, it won't take another four days to get something posted, cheers - steve

Thank you for paying so much for internet. I don't know what I would do without your blog!

I love your blog. I can wait four days. :)

Don't feel SO bad. I'm on a dial-up at a standard 49bps, so anyone sending me a video via e-mail causes me to tear what little hair I have right out. And for this luxury I pay $100 every 6 months, and it does NOT include anything else.

BZ, the fact you keep up a blog of such outstanding quality over dial-up actually makes me feel worse! :o) And I feel like a whiner to boot!
