Sorry Aliant Saturday, November 22, 2003
Try to connect to dial-up ISP
Braap, snap, crackle, disconnect
Curse my ISP for their funky modem pool
Try again - same result
Lift handset to listen to line - line is very bad
Mentally apologize to ISP
Go into rage over poor service from telcoheads
Stomp around house cursing Aliant and all their shareholders
Notice four-legged pal Que is looking guilty
Notice other four-legged pal Pita is sniffing telco jack
Rub hand over wet sticky telephone jack
Curse more (gently now)
Apply alcohol and hair dryer to telco jack
Connect to ISP
Laugh at myself and think kinder thoughts about telcoheads

You are a big man to admit it, HB...I mean your last point --think kinder thoughts about telcoheads . That’s not something I do very often.

Momentary weakness - I am better now.

I had to take Mildred and Jay on a lead on one of the trails the other day - the place was full of nervous walkers - Jay cocks his leg and pees on Mildred’s head.
Is no place sacred? Even your telco jack?
