Sweet

Two excellent happenings today:

(1) We finally got some rain. For a couple of weeks now it's been hot and sunny, which is great for sitting on the porch but really isn't that good for a state that's been in differing degrees of drought for nearly 10 years. Today we woke to cool, misty weather, and then later on it turned into a nice little cloudburst. It's still kind of dripping.

(2) We received a mailing from the local cable company informing us that they now offer high-speed internet in our town!!! Just the excuse we needed to get cable. And now we won't be fighting over the phone line!
