My own posts will be limited the next few days due to several factors. I’m traveling extensively — but having some problems partly due to hotel connections and partly due to some laptop problems. For instance, these posts are being done from a Starbucks since the laptop wouldn’t connect to wireless in my hotel here in Rialto and the dial-up won’t work since the hotel phones are out.
Please keep checking back since our cobloggers will likely have some things to say. This means on some breaking stories you may not see something immediately on the site if no one is able to get online. I will be traveling until at least Friday with no laptop from Tuesday through Friday, but some posts will be done. There may be some lag between events and posts due to my inability to get online. (In November I may have to get a new laptop).
