You have a life for some definition of "life".
We have digital cable. We tend to set it to the light classical music
channel as a default for when the video tape ends. (Nothing like having
it set on "ST:TNG" when you start and having it on wrestling when the
tape ends....) It's not too bad, for the most part, although there are
some things I'll get tired of. But I love it when they play Bach. I
suppose an all-Bach channel would be out of the question, but it's nice
to daydream, isn't it?

We have cable when it rains. What we've been having problems with is
internet, which is through the cable company, going down for a couple of
minutes at a time when it's raining. Gets very difficult to *do* stuff
on-line. Not sure why that craps out and the cable doesn't, unless
there's some problem between Georgetown and College Station that gets
rain at some of the same times we do. (The traffic gets routed through
something in College Station, apparently, at least that's what the tech
told me the time everything was totally down for over an hour and I
called in about it.)
