TMV owes a special THANKS to our talented Guest Bloggers who helped out in his absence…particularly YESTERDAY.
Our post written from Manchester, CT on the death of Terri Schiavo barely was do-able due to problems with both the hotel’s high speed Internet AND the Cox Communications remote dial up. It came back on briefly, about 30 minutes after Schiavo’s death was announced…so we got a quickie post up…or PART of it. Then it all went down again and we had to leave for the airport (total time on this trip from leaving the hotel to our San Diego condo was 15 hours). The airport did not have a wireless system.
So our contributors covered the story, exceptionally well.
We will do a wrap up post on the Schiavo tragedy later today. Jack Grant also got a late breaking post on the site about the Pope’s health setbacks and we’ll watch that closely as well.
But to our guest bloggers we say in California’s official language: Gracias…
