Month: July 2021

Rest assured, I have no intentions of revealing my dietary roughage patterns or bowel regularity; we have two bits of news on the ranch’s fiber optic front.

First, we are getting upgraded this summer, in waves. Blanca is coming out and upgrading equipment and then we can get far faster connection speeds. The lower end of Nordman, for example, I can confirm has already been upgraded.

Second, Blanca is adding about eight more miles of fiber to our system in the ranch. Just yesterday they completed a section that now runs from the Brophy/Spangle junction, down to and fully out Grey Place. We have two homes out there that must be super pleased.

The weather is in a holding pattern down here. Nightly lows in the forties. Daily highs in the sixties. Rain showers now normal. Morning cloud cover fully expected. The ten day forecast shows us holding quite still in such a state. Much to the north of us is under extremely different conditions, and chill usurps the excess heat that some are now enduring.

Another busy weekend is planned on the ranch. I expect the houses to fill up again over the long weekend, and company is visiting here as well. Two of the last four weeks I’ve dined with others. The other two weeks I’ve had folks dine with me. There is much openness and warmth from my neighbors and new friends. It pleases me greatly.

Drive safely this weekend. I have a feeling a touch of liquor might be flowing some where, some how, within this ranch. I know, it sounds strange, but I believe it to be true.
