And of course there&#8217;s no internet access!<\/p>\n<p>In the spirit of make-do, I&#8217;m standing outside in the neighbor&#8217;s yard, my laptop propped on their trampoline, with their dogs happily &#8220;helping&#8221; me. Their wireless network seems to be working just fine! The only downside is that it&#8217;s sprinkled on and off all day, and another shower is imminent. I guess I&#8217;d better take my office back inside!<\/p>\n<p>The point of all this is to say that I may not be able to answer e-mails as promptly as usual, but I will definitely do so as I can.  I will also be downloading and sending out orders regularly, so things should go on pretty much as normal.
