Testing New AT&T Wireless Air Card

This post comes to you not from the deck in San Felipe but the deck in Pend Oreille County.  Our travels have taken us to a picturesque spot on the Pend Oreille River which has no DSL or even cable available so I have had to resort to using my USB air card from AT&T.  I selected the company with care after studying all the coverage maps for the competing providers.  AT&T rated high but I am sadly disappointed in the speed of transmission.  I am able to check email and Facebook but viewing videos online or uploading pictures is a major drag.

I’m told I will need to drive into Newport and use the wireless at the library to get better.  This is really frustrating.  Having to go somewhere and sit to watch my lessons or post movies is a lot like work.  Not at all like sitting in comfy chair and typing away while looking at the river flow bye.  Hope we have better luck on the road. Wireless air cards are not conducive to working from home when home is on the road.

The picture on the right is supposed to a snap of the moose we saw the day before yesterday while drinking our coffee, however I was too slow at remembering the phone was in my pocket so he has already strolled down the trail and behind the neighbor’s shed.  Later that day a white tail deer almost jumped the fence in the picture while I was sitting on the hammock but I startled her when I tried to get Chuck’s attention and she took off the other direction instead.
