too bad I spent most of today A) waiting for the library to open, B) waiting for a computer only to experience a system-wide shut down when I finally got on, and C) riding across town to another library to wait again and finally get an hour on the computers.
And I completely lost all the gems I had for you today. Oh well! I'm trying to get some pictures of the Farm and the area of Italy I will be calling home for the next 8 months. Ill keep you posted. Till then, I offer you this gem of advice...
If you find yourself without Internet and needing to get online, do yourself a favor, go find a young student at a cafe somewhere, reading a book with laptop open and sweet talk your way to 15 minutes of their computer. Offer them another coffee or chai or what have you, and check email real quick like. Avoid waiting in line at 3 different libraries, in early spring with all the other homeless job-seekers hacking their allergy induced tuberculin cough all through the stagnant unfiltered air, and all over the greazy computer terminals.
Three cheers for disinfecting wipes and H1N1 hand sanitizing stations.
Ciao
