In the Wizard of Oz, the movie transitions from “black and white” to technicolor in an instant. Our house went from “Christmas lights” to “normal” in an instant. Normal is good!
I’m not sure what it means when McDonald’s closes it’s outlet at the local Mall. You would think with all the “people traffic”, the Mall would be the perfect location. I think it has something to do with the high cost of renting their food court location and lots of competition from low cost operators. There is also a game being played as McDonald’s tries to avoid paying Obamacare penalties on people being classified as “full time” employees.
Your Mom and I were watching a VUDU movie the other night and it began “buffering”. Forever buffering. So I rebooted everything including the router and the Wi-Fi extender. After all the clever technical trouble shooting, I could not get internet service. Nothing. No Internet explorer. No iPad Wi-Fi service. I immediately called my reliable Time Warner service provider. They were eager to help so while I was giving them my account information, they cut me off. I got their busy phone signal. I recalled Time Warner and after “holding” for 10 minutes, I got a service tech in Ohio. He checked my service and said it appeared okay but he decided to reboot my location. Suddenly everything worked. I asked if anyone else was experiencing the same problem and he said yes, “all over the midwest”. Why didn’t Time Warner tell me that “upfront”. I pi–ed away an hour of my valuable time screwing around because Time Warner had an internet problem. I’m sure I’ll get a rebate on my monthly fee.
New England Patriots win in the snow and Arizona will sack Carolina.
