Army Post Road

     Finally, I'm updating from my room because today my cable Internet was installed.  I didn't get cable TV at the same time because I didn't bring my TV from home with me and that is definitely not something I'm going to by an additional supply of.
     Since my Cingular phone doesn't work well down here at all, I decided last week to switch to T-Mobile and join my parents' FamilyTalk plan or whatever T-Mobile calls it.  That was all well and good because my calls to all of them would be free, calls to and from gov't cell phones (at least the ones of the people in our Task Force) would be free and it would be costing me roughly $50/month less.  The catch that I just learned of a few minutes ago:  I can't port my number from Cingular to T-Mobile because T-Mobile isn't licensed to sell Iowa City numbers.  BLASTED FCC AND YOUR STUPID GEOGRAPHIC LICENSING MODEL!  I've had this particular phone number for more than two years now, I was looking forward to not having to change it. 
     I'll keep you posted as events continue to transpire.
