I have the afternoon free to goof off in a small town until I work a shift tomorrow. The hotel sign says "free wifi", so I check in there. The wifi works OK until guests start arriving and it slows down and stops. So it goes in a teeny tiny town. I like to refer to them as "one of those f****d up little towns." 😆 It's one of those places where people walk crazy in the middle of the road and stuff.
I try my cellular mobile hotspot, but there's a zero-bar signal and it won't pull data. I now have it hanging by a USB cord from the curtain rod in a window across the room and radiating a little wifi to my netbook. I can now get little dribs and drabs of data. Who knows how far away that cell tower is.
I guess I could watch TV or read a radical magazine or sumpin'.
I have nothing against small towns. I'm just looking for a reason to whine. I do miss the 4G in places like Charlotte or Columbia.
Fuenteovejuna did it 
😡 small towns do suck!
Chichester is a reasonable sized place in Britain. But if you want a decent mobile phone signal or WiFi… :irked:
Me without any signal = :no:

Invariably where there is no working wifi, it will also be a cell signal dead zone. They just go together.
I'd have no life without my cell phone. Seriously.

Sometimes it gets funny. We go out clubbing, and a friend 20 feet away will text, "going to the bar, want a cocktail?""Yeah, Corona."I mean we could have walked over to each other.I like the connectedness and never ending things to do with the device, especially while on the road, but I will sometimes still shut it off to make sure I don't feel funny.I've got a good netbook tether going with it right now in Spartanburg, SC.
