We are spending a little over two weeks on the farm out here in Oregon. Ginny and I have our "quarters" in an old double wide that is really used mostly for storage of her mom's stuff. Our only internet access on the farm is a dial up. We can do down the street to North Plains where there is a McDonald's that has free WiFi. Not bad, a cup of coffee and some high speed internet. I get the senior citizen's price for coffee at McDonald's so that is a good deal. There is another alternative, however. I prefer the pizza joint Geraldi's where the owner Gus allows free access to his WiFi system. Additionally, in place of coffee there is beer. What a concept! I don't get a senior citizen's discount, but his prices are cheap to begin with. He has several good pale ales on tap. So about today's picture. I am sitting in my little office surfing the net on a dial up. You get a lot of free time when you are doing that, so I choose to fill the blank moments by playing spider solitaire. My tactics have evolved over the years and I am getting pretty good at it. That is not a skill, however, that I am likely to brag about, especially if Ginny is in the room.

coffee and wifi for breakfast, beer and wifi for lunch and dinner. Or you could substitute coffee with beer. Why mess up a good thing.

I am still hooked on that game.
