One thing in life is certain – if you are travelling from motel to motel in the USA, then the WiFi quality will vary between slow and intermittent. Hence the delay in sending the next episode. Lake Harmony. And Pennsylvania. Been here before. One Christmas, years ago. The place was nothing special, […] A quick bus trip from the Terminal to the Car Rental office. We’d done well, so far, but car rentals are fraught with all kinds of disaster. Long queues, missing staff, missing cars – the list of screw-ups has a bizarre consistency. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong, and in ways […] Well, here we are, once more, in the USA. Planning has paid off! We left early enough, and survived an hour-long traffic jam on the M25.

The wife has successfully come through her heart surgery. Doing fine. OK! It still hurts a lot, but the op did what it was supposed to do, so happy to settle for that. At least, she can get out and about, and drive her car (doc says she can). […] Some companies are good to work with. Some are neither here nor there, and their are some whose continued existence is a puzzle to the thinking mind. Two simple events occurred just over a week ago.
