Good Morning All,
On The Road and In Your Backyard is a weekday feature spotlighting reader submissions. From the exotic to the familiar, please share your part of the world, whether you’re traveling or just in your locality. Share some photos and a narrative, let us see through your pictures and words. We’re so lucky each and every day to see and appreciate the world around us!
Submissions from commenters are welcome at tools.balloon-juice.com
For each picture, it’s best to provide your commenter screenname, description, where it was taken, and date. It’s tough to keep everyone’s email address and screenname straight, so don’t assume that I remember it “from last time”. More and more, the first photo before the fold will be from a commenter, so making it easy to locate the screenname when I’ve found a compelling photo is crucial.
I had internet service issues that turned out to be both router and modem-based (though I received an “all-clear, problem resolved” text from support while I was deeply asleep at 4 AM, you bastards) and not so much service-based. I ended up buying new cable modem and WiFi router, and they all worked well.
And then I was away, knowing internet service was restored at home but when I needed to, I couldn’t connect to my home-office/work machine because I hadn’t configured port forwarding, etc. And since I was away, I was SOL. And so I apologize, yesterday was supposed to be Africa. Tomorrow will be, and Friday will be the overdue West and I’ll punt otmar (if he’s submitted!) until next Friday.
Sigh. Sometimes I think I should throw tech aside and work with non-digital things.
Have a Happy Halloween, folks!
