Bad Internet Blues

For reasons unknown, my Internet connection began sucking Tuesday evening. Virus? Problems at the cable company that provides the connection? Don't know. There's an ice-storm coming down outside, and that could be an issue.

At any rate, this problem has required frequent reboots just to maintain a (damnably slow) connection, and this explains the shortage of blog output. Going to bed now, hoping that the problem is fixed by the morning.
