Slow like a roadrunner

I called Time Warner again last night to set up another appointment to try to get our cable modem fixed. I'm learning their system well enough that I can get through the front line of technical (ahem) "support" people to the people in the local office without having to unhook all my computers and ruin all my home networking settings. I still got put on hold for 30 minutes waiting for the local office to answer. The internet was in a medium way last night. Running well enough that I could get to web sites, but running slow enough that the people I was talking to could really tell something was wrong. When I went to do a speed test, I was getting 64.1 kbps. She's like "Wow, that's really terrible!" I know! That's why I'm calling, duh.

We are going to get dumped on this afternoon. A solid block of red and yellow rain is coming this way. Poor doggies! I didn't realize it was going to be stormy today, so they're outside. :( At least Gavin got the grass in back mowed last night.
