For all of you who read and enjoy my daily This Day in History

over the next cple days I have them coming in to redo the Internet and wifi system that supplies our complex here
It's slated as a 3 day job which means I may have no internet for a few days
I'm hoping they install the new before disconnecting the old but not sure if that's possible or not
have no fear or fear I'll return
 
I find your daily post interesting and read it every day, keep them coming when you can.
 
Sorry my math was wrong. Only 83 years. I looked it up and that is what the Wikepedia says!
