I'm thinking about purchasing a Roomba to do some floor sweeping. Anybody have experience with one of these?

My question has to do with "HD Radio". One of my local radio stations keeps running promos about additional programming that can be received if one has an HD radio receiver.

I make an annual 2,200 mile round trip to Colorado every summer. That's 1,100 miles, about 19 hours, each way (with stops). This doesn't count any miles driven after reaching the destination.

I use intellicast.com and the National Weather Service ([www.nws.noaa.gov]) to scope out city forecasts along my route. Just plug in the city and state and go to the 10 day forecast.

If you have stuff to give away that the charities won't take or if you don't want/need a receipt...post it on Freecycle. (www.freecycle.org) I've used it several times to get rid of stuff that otherwise would have gone to the landfill.

It's hard enough to get people around my house to deal with leaving the thermostat on 68 in winter.

Mere distractions for what's really going on!

I have a contact in this part of Texas that uses the wireless option. It works well but does have bandwidth limits. They recently got a no-cost bandwidth upgrade though. You can also pay extra per month if you need more speed. It seems fairly reasonable considering the alternative.
