[Texascavers] Internet related

[David]

I have had old AT basic internet service at my office, which is located
in an old commercial building.

A salesman called a month ago alleging AT is replacing their old copper
wire in the building with fiber.I did not authorize anything.   They
said to just be present on August date, and they just needed to swap the
modem.   They claimed no additional charges.  Their tech never showed,
after waiting around for two days.

He finally showed up today, spending nearly the entire day in my office.

I have now missed 3 days of work ( I make money delivering subpoenas,
meaning driving - not sitting in the office ).

I have been trying all afternoon to straighten out the new mess.Not
only are now they billing me for two separate business accounts now, but
the new fiber account is more expensive.

I am at the same store where I signed up for the initial service, and they
say that I must call customer service, which is overseas call center.

They claim that they have no computer history of the so-called
free-upgrade, and nobody ever asked me for new account pin number.From
their perspective, I am committed and responsable for 2 accounts.

In addition, they say I am responsable for mailing the old modem back to
AT

If I ran my subpoena-delivery business this way, I would be out of business
in less than 24 hours.

Somehow, I got scammed by AT and I feel very ripped off.

I should have sensed something wrong when the tech showed up today telling
me that there was no fiber.   But I seemed already committed by that point.

[Texascavers] Cave photography classes

[Bennett Lee]

I am starting up hands-on cave photography classes to various awesome caves. 
Contact me if you're interested. You don't need fancy camera gear or even any 
gear at all-there is still plenty to learn about techniques and gear, 
especially before you start buying anything. Part of these classes is finding 
out what equipment works in a cave and what doesn't. Experienced photographers 
are welcome, too. This is a great opportunity for us to collaborate and share 
knowledge and improve techniques while we do what we love-caving.

You don't need to attend every trip because every trip is an opportunity to 
learn something new, plus you get to go caving in beautiful, photogenic caves. 
You'll get to practice in-cave techniques and learn basic camera settings, 
flash placement, framing, and more. I'll describe my thought process as I setup 
a shot. You can ask questions and get real-time feedback as you setup your own 
shots. This is an opportunity that I never had when I started, and I want to 
help you get a jump start on your photography by sharing what I've learned over 
the years.

I have an opportunity to take one or two photographers to a private cave on 
September 28, 2019. Note that this is the same time as Robber Baron Open House, 
so you can't do both (sorry, this trip was planned before the open house was 
announced). This cave happens to be my favorite cave of all time. It is highly 
decorated and consistently produces my best cave photos. This is a water cave, 
so you will need a wetsuit.

If you are interested in this trip or interested in learning or collaborating 
on cave photography, contact me at 
benn...@bennettlee.com or 210-393-3806.

Dear cavers,

I have uploaded a lot of new material to *The Hall of Texas and Mexico
Cavers* -- I think 14 obituaries and tributes for cavers who passed away
over the last four years, and info on 54 cavers in all.

Go tohttp://cavelife.info/hall/hall.htm

It takes time to find this info, but I have more to add to the years before
2016. Also see*In Memory of Texas Cavers*  at
https://www.cavetexas.org/rmiller/   last updated in 2010. It is part of the
TSA website.

Please help show respect for our departed friends by checking it out and
sending me additions and corrections. I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks to all,

*William R. (Bill) Elliott*

Re: [Texascavers] The Hall

[David]

Thank you, Bill.

I recall reading many of those older stories when I first started caving
during the mid 80's, and sadly again as more happened.

Let's hope we don't make the list for another 50 years.

There were some members of GHG and ASS that passed away, but the only one I
can think of that was active for many years was Jim McLane.

Lyle Moss was once a member of GHG, but I do not know if he did any Texas
or Mexico or New Mexico caving.


Storm update:

As of 4:30 a.m., the center of eye of the hurricane is a few miles offshore
of the community of Beaufort, North Carolina, projected to move northeast
passing just off Cape Hatteras National Seashore, and then hopefully stay
off shore and weaken.


I have heard that the Carolinas are a beautiful place to live.
Some of my ancestors lived or passed thru the Carolinas in the 1700's.   I
can only imagine they were lured to migrate westward for reasons similar to
my own reasons for migrating - in search of greener pastures.   Allegedly
there is an Native-American group there called Lumbee, and many of them
have my last name - a name which is not common in Europe.   Like a recent
politician, I claim part of that Native-American heritage, based on stories
from my grandparents.   I should do a DNA test.
