As for critters -- I ran over a realllllly long black racer snake tonight just before getting to the driveway. Not much choice. I got back here to the bear-den to check the raspberries which were nearly ripe a few days ago when I was last here. The patch was seriously over populated with squirrels and birds, and very few raspberries -- can't they go out and play in traffic?
But, the main reason for this post is the Virgin Mobile card. Tonight was my night to renew for another 30 days. I started over 30 minutes ago, and apparently I finally got all the gauntlet answers correct (with several re-tries).
For better or worse, I'm back for another month. I'm just above the high water line of the Shenandoah River to the west. The 30-acre backyard to the west, up Paris Mountain, rises about 1200-1500 feet above the house -- with Washington DC about 50 miles to the east. Not a great place for wireless, radio, or TV signals.
The card does work out here, for which I'm very grateful.
