Rainy Day in the North Woods

It's a rainy day in Florence County.  Gary has many gadgets but not enough to keep him entertained in  bad weather. 

He ran his generator so we could watch television, but reception is not all that good at Lost Lake.  We had a choice between Regis and Kelley or an old Monkees movie.  Neither appealed. 

These are the times he tries to talk me into investing in Veriozn's wi fi hotspot service.  He switched to a Verizon cell phone some time back when he found out that his old service was of no use in the national forests.Now he can text his friends from our campground.

Then Brad and Marilee joined us at Laura Lake and Gary learned that Brad could get on line anywhere.  He's tried to interest me in it, but that addicted to the internet I am not.  Maybe next summer, I say.  No point in signing up for a two year contract when we are charging toward winter when we won't need it.

So here we are on a rainy day in Florence, Wisconsin, where we can use the county wi fi service.  Once we are done here, we'll go the St. Vincent de Paul thrift shop where I have always found wonderful bargains.  Next comes the bakery for gooey desserts and the ice cream shop for a double scooped ice cream cone. 

If we had that wi fi service, we wouldn't be indulging ourselves here.  So why do we need it?
