I'm doomed. Unless I get challenged, I'm going to be on this jury. And it's deadly dull. And likely to take all week...

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

I can't tell you anything about drive times but 287 to Amarillo and then I40 to Albuquerque is a pretty standard route. My recollection from the one time I went to Amarillo is that 287 is a four lane through most of that BUT once you are past Wichita Falls it is long stretches of nothing interspersed with small town speed traps. As a woman driving alone, it wasn't a road I would take at night but during the day with good weather, it can be a pretty drive.

What provider do you use for your cell phone? When I was in Northern Ireland in February I took a Galaxy S4 on T-Mobile with me. It's one of my business phones. Currently the T-Mobile plans include unlimited data and text from something like 100 countries, and Ireland and Northern Ireland are both included. It worked great for me and I will be using it again June when Pix and I go back.

Always Anti-fascist!
I *feel* that way talking to support sometimes, Connie. But knowing that, I freak out and fume *first* then call the techs. That way, I'm calm when they can hear me. Of course, some people are dicks who read "Tech support" and think "data monkey" which is a bad call much like insulting a waiter. Although I think I'd almost rather eat spit-food than face ongoing tech problems, and considering how much I hate germs, that's a statement!

I'm not sure who has annoyed me more today, this last guy or the guy earlier who, when asked to click on an icon, said "Why can't you do it? That's what I'm paying you for."

Thanks, lcat! Virtual cookies on the way.

Consuela, can you quick change into your Star Fleet uniform?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Zen, ages ago (okay, several years) when I went to Italy with a group of fannish friends, I rented a cellphone for the group. I can look up that information for you if you want, though I'd be surprised if there isn't a better way these days.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, cool!
Looks like I am getting two bunnies. Just a question of exactly when I can be ready for them...
