I gots the INTERNETS!!!111

   Yes, after finding out why the city turned off my power instead of 'turning it on', I did go by and get the self-installation cable internet kit from Charter. As you can tell, I am once again sailing through the vastness that is the internet and I am glad.
   I only got the 3Mbps/256kbps package but that is more than enough for me. Plus, that is really the only thing I can afford at the moment. Maybe in the future I will move up to the higher tier services. Mind you, they get expensive up there. I'll just have to see how things work out.
