Complications

Shortly after my last post, my computer crashed irreparably. I had been having trouble with my internet service for months, and I guess finally my desktop PC was over-whelmed by all the diagnostics and systems restores I'd been running.

For now I'm back to using the library computers or Starbucks wifi (I bought a Kindle to use in a pinch, but it wouldn't connect with my home internet). This predicament kind of takes me back to the almost-homeless month when I stayed in motels before ending up here in Ferndale, but it's good to be reminded of what is or isn't necessary.

I'm putting off deciding on replacement service and hardware because I've been meaning to move for so long, this seems like a good time to finally get with it. Except that's a lot harder to manage without home internet access. So complicated . . . .

Also, I still love my new bicycle, but it's been too wet and stormy to ride more than about 120 miles this month (in February, I mean). In strong winds it almost feels like it will blow out from under me, but I'm getting used to it.
