Cox Update

Cox introduced a hard data cap of 1TB per month, after which they will charge US$10 for each 50GB of data.

Thus there is no point in paying for more than the lowest tier, where it would require running the service flat-out for almost a whole month to exceed the limit.

Data caps suck.

The Return of the King

As mentioned in a previous post, I finally got around to reading The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Yesterday I finished The Return of the King.

I'm glad that's done. It took a good many years for me to get around to it and the reading itself had many stops and starts.

Probably I will watch the movies, then consider it done for sure.

An unexpected event

A puppy showed up on our doorstep.

Really, at the driveway, sitting in the street. Fortunately uninjured and hopefully free of everything more severe than fleas.

We can't take in another pet full time right now, so we're caring for him until we can either find his people (unlikely, given his condition), or find him a good place to go.
