Most of the South Plains area and parts of New Mexico have been issued a fire warning for the rest of this week and part of next week. The dewpoints around here are supposed to drop down into the teens and single digits, meaning there won’t be any moisture in the air whatsoever.

The temperature today was around 96 but there was a strong wind which made it even worse, it felt like an oven…

With so many kids back in Lubbock for summer school my internet has gone back down the tubes. The company that supports the network for the apartment complex is Wild-Packets and let me just reiterate how horrible they are at customer service and just service in general.

My internet goes down for about 5 minutes at a time and then it works for two, then back down. If I am lucky I can check my e-mail and respond in that short amount of time. If the managers at the apartment complex actually cared about their paying customers they would resolve this issue as fast as possible, but no, they could care less.

Next semester, no matter where I am living I am going with Cox. Cable TV and cable internet all rolled into one package sounds like the best idea. DSL is not really an option out here because of the distance limitations and cable seems to get pretty nice speeds out here. We’ll see how it all works out.

So I have discovered the need (it’s really a want) for an XBox. I just need something to do in those moments when there is nothing else to do. I would settle for an XBox with one controller because other people can bring their own…

Now for a small rant… Why is it when people see a “Road Closed Ahead” sign they just ignore it? Do they think that when they get to where the road is closed it is magically going to open for them? I saw people read multiple signs a mile from a road closure and they still speed up to get somewhere they can’t go. It boggles the mind. This makes me believe that Houston does not have the worst drivers because the city rounded them all up and dropped them off here!
