The Barrel

Back Home

Well as the saying goes all good things must come to a end. Even thought my mental stability was questioned about the fact that I was going to leave sunny and 75° weather to return to a really different end of the spectrum. But what can I say folks have been saying I am crazy for years. But I have to say I have figured out why there are so many snowbirds up in this area. I have to say thanks to Leo and Linda for the hospitaility they showed me once again this year and To Desi,and Donald (even if he did get my car), and Troy. And way to many others that I have not mentioned. And last but not least by any measure a big thanks to Raven and Slick for their ability to make a person feel as if they are part of the family. Even of Raven is one of the worse tour guides I know of, but she is great at finding Computer stores and Big Lots.LOL

But to one and all have a great and safe Christmas( yes not holiday I don’t mind be politically incorrect) and a even better News Years. So until later have a good days and a better tomorrow folks.

Heading to La

Well the weather has been wet and cold so today it warms up and sunny so we are heading for even better weather and great food in LA today. Houston is a normal large city with all the good and bad that comes with large cities. But it is fun with all the food and the views of life in a southern city. I will try and post again soon to see. Have good day folks.

I have email

Darn after days of no email Mediacom has repaired the email fiasco and once again I am in touch with the world again, Thanks for all the work you did Mediacom. After I bragged them up so much I hated to dig at a bad spot but they have it running again.

Email Failure

Heck we made it through a darn blizzard and mediacom is having major problems as there has been no email for over 30 hours and when you call them you get a nice message saying we have a problem with the email and are working on it and hope to have it repaired soon! Hell my clients would have dumped me if I couldn’t resolve a mail problem, and I know they have a lot more help than me.Thanks Mediacom keep up the fine work
