cranky network is cranky

So we went overlimit on our network again, so it is being sssllllooooowwww like snails. I'm borrowing net right now, but otherwise, I'm off LJ until my speed comes back. Overlimit is courtesy of a certain teenager deciding to update her phone O/S via the house network instead of at school.

and for your amusement - poetry:

early morning:
clouds pink on the southwestern horizon
early dawn light glowing on the tops of bare trees
much of the world still clinging to night's shadow
grass persisting green through a warm wet autumn
the air now ripe with the chill of samhain
chimney sends up a thin plume of woodsmoke
warming us for the winter to come


comparison:
words stretch and bend under your hammer,
carefully crafted to sharp edges on
the fringes of meaning and hope
to me words come flowing through
like a great tidal river ebbing and rising
leaving little fishes and crabs in the tidepool
