Posting will be minimal, if any, for a while. My DSL modem is on the fritz. AT&T has promised to come Monday and check the line, if not necessarily replace the modem. The thing’s warranty is out, and it seems to be the major difficulty, so I hope they replace it.

If not, I may consider switching ISPs, though that would be a major hassle and AT&T has provided good service up to now. We think a thunderstorm a couple of weeks ago, which knocked out the landline service (which contains the DSL connection) may have been the culprit here. The techs said the line was the victim of a power surge. We were thinking about having the landline disconnected anyhow. We use the cell phones most of the time.

ADDENDUM: Yes, we were disappointed by last night’s Texas loss to Texas Tech. But Tech, a longtime in-state rival, played a great game and deserves to be No. 1, even if the BCS computers don’t agree. The Horns also beat themselves, with too many dropped passes (and one almost-interception), costly penalties, an OL that couldn’t stop Tech’s D, etc. Hope Texas stays in the top five. They’ll be back.
