Blog Silence

One reason I haven't been posting recently is that staying on the internet here is highly frustrating. The internet provider here has a monopoly and their service is crap. The connection cuts out every few minutes. I spend half my time simply trying to reconnect to the web. It is analogous to trying to drive anywhere in this city. I'm spending half the time "traveling" sitting at a stop light going nowhere. It makes me less willing to get out of the house.
