Modems
Well, one of the side effects of the thrunderstorms last week was that I lost both my modems. So I'm working off the business laptop for the time being.

I found out that there are loads of good modems (I'm talking IBM, Intel, US Robotics) available on ebay for a fraction of what you'd pay at Best Buy. So if your modem goes on the fritz, check it out. Or just buy an extra to use while the first one is being repaired.

Rain
Hurray! We've had rain in Four Mile (and the rest of Teller County)!! Last week saw several days with godd heavy afternoon rains. That should really help with the remaining Hayman smoldering hotspots.

And with keeping the fire danger in the rest of the area down a bit.

And with replenishing our water table.
