prune picker

This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, music, and civic events. I am writing my memoirs. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

Oh Boy! I have DSL again.

AT & T installed a phone line to my trailer yesterday and this morning I have high speed internet via DSL. That is what I had for years in Washington. The last six years of internet delivered by satellite service have been a big pain. The satellite service is subject to weather disruption, is slow, and cost a lot for not much data. I spent hours on the phone to India. I feel like I have emerged from the dark ages. DSL service is so fast and sturdy. For less money.


It was 32 degrees and a wet day. The line was laid on the ground and will be buried when conditions are better.



A pole was installe at the rear of my trailer and the line was place through the window. I am very high tech.


William the installer is checking to see that I can receive DSL.


I now have a corded phone and another phone number. (My cell phone number is the same.) The phone is as big as the DSL modem.
