Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Sorry about that-I didn't know what side load meant at first either. (also stupid tonight). Should have said.

Agatha Christie is out of copyright? Cool!

But I should hold off until I get a Kindle with more room on it...

Nook Colors has sim chips (or "mem-thingies" as I call them) that can store more data. I LURVE mine, esp. with the new update.

ETA: Huh. Gonna have to get me one soon. I'm at 77% full.

Also most of Andre Norton, G.K. Chesterton, P.G. Wodehouse, Lovecraft, Murray Leinster, Doc Smith, H. Beam Piper, a lot of Harry Harrison (but not A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah,) and Lovecraft.

So, the oddest thing is happening with my new internet. It just goes out, usually later in the evening. Oddly, b.org is usually accessible. I loathe interacting with Comcast, but I suppose I have to call them.

I had several day battle with Firefox, which was taking several tries to open every page. Scouring the internet gave me a fix that makes no sense but works.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I can often load b.org when I'm having trouble with other sites.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think that sounds like a DNS issue. Our DNS settings, if memory serves, last a donkey's age, but most sites don't.

We have Comcast and I feel like we reboot our router way more often than we did back in California when we had a small local cable/internet carrier.

Yes, I generally figure if I can't get to b.org, or it loads very slowly, then I'm REALLY having internet issues
