I was able to get to the tMobile sign up page, before switching to my card. The goal was to see whether I could remember all the Linux commands [...]
I nearly posted a photo of blue sky earlier. Blue sky is something that’s been mighty scarce since we arrived in El Lay. We’ve had heavy overcast, torrential rain, and if my MIdwestern ears are still attuned, a brief bit of hail since we got here.
