Bandwidth

Last August I left California and moved to Arizona. Several trips back and forth at 500 miles each way was a total pain in the pocket and ass. Gas prices were cheaper in Arizona but the traffic in the Los Angeles traffic jungle are painful.

In Arizona I have Direct TV and can watch the morning news. We (my two dogs) are several hours drive from the Interstate 10 and the morning traffic reports. All of this reporting in a waste of time as where I am we don't even have a traffic signal and the country road is at the end.

The pictures here are entirely random as I need to do some planning.
My connection to the internet is through a Verizon phone that has a mobile hot spot. It is not surper fast but it does work. On the Telly several vendors are pushing for DSL sales but I am beyond their reach.

The elevation here is 4250 feet and the mountain across the way is 2 thousand higher. This winter it snowed several times breaking some snowfall records.

Since I moved here I bought a 29 inch bike on EBay that was a total POS, then other one that was much better but the front shocks needed upgrading. So I got the upgrade discount and the front fork was tapered so my headset didn't work. I made a bushing out of discarded copper wire and it kinda worked but not very well. 
So after much wasted time I bought a Marin hard tail bare bone frame. It took quite a while to build it using parts from another bike but now it is almost finished, no bicycle is ever finished.

Another waste is television trying to sell me something I can't buy. The Village of Oak Creek which is 2 miles away has a Subway and a Wendy. No Starbucks, no Big Macs, No Taco Bell but three bicycle stores.

My mailing address says Sedona but It is a ten mile drive to get there. Cottonwood is 22 miles if you drive through Cornville on the way to Wally Mart.
Flagstaff is an hour drive away.
