Now to work on sharing my pictures
It's time to get to work. Quite unexpectedly there is a FAST internet connection here in Pampa over Verizon's Extended Network. I've had glimpses of a fast connection occasionally on Verizon's Extended Network but it has been fleeting at best. I get the feeling the network speed gets throttled back as soon as it discovers I'm on as a Verizon EVDO customer. Can that be?
[Time passes] Ok, let's try this. I'm not really happy with it but it will do for a first go.

Inflection Points
I'm convinced we're at one of those rare historic inflection points, where the formerly reliable center can't hold and, without the benefit of our imminent history, we flail around wondering why our life isn't as stable as we think our parents' was.
