[UC] Re: Cable service

[Cindy Miller]

I use Earthlink DSL and I am happy with it.  It took me 20 minutes to  
install (all by myself), and the customer service--well at least  
those Indian people are super nice! On a live chat, I signed off with  
"Have a good day" and Sathia came back with "Have a wonderful life!"


I have Plan # 3--no issues or problems.

FIOS is superior, but only available in the suburbs, unfortunately.

downsides are frequent outage during bad weather and cheesy/

customer service) among other minor issues. If you love to watch  
your Philly sports teams NOT win the big one then don't get these

great coverage of average teams with cheap ownership (but that's  
another post).


If it is a cable/T1,2 or 3 internet connection you refer to, the  
only other worthy provider (that Im aware of) is Verizon. Verizon  
has great service (especially Fios - through my personal

I think the law should require us all to use carrier pigeons  
instead. It's about saving the Earth. Modern urban technology  
generates too many pigeons, just as it generates too much CO2.  
Messages we send by pigeon instead of internet will reduce our CO2  
debt, since the pigeons are already there and require no further  
carbon combustion.

[UC] tickets for litter?

[energyteacher]

I know there has been some discussion on the list about bogus tickets for 
litter being received months after the supposed offense. How have people 
handled them? I've got a hearing early in April and I'm wondering how to handle 
it. Any help or advice is appreciated.

[UC] Fw: [Ucneighbors] two egg hunts

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Tony was kind enough to remind us of two big, fun neighborhood events for 
families.
His post reminded me to remind neighbors that there will be treat filled 
plastic eggs in the hedge row at our home, again this year.  We put out about 
200 items, before we head out to Mass, and hope they are gone before Monday.  
Because experience tells us that within a day, the squirrels have learned how 
to open the eggs, and we don't need the mess.
Our home is at 4611 Springfield and the treats should be outside, by 9 AM.
We don't have the time or energy to create an organized "hunt" with all the 
benefits that come from shared face time and common goals, but we do hope to 
carry forward some random acts of kindness.
Folks, please make time to enjoy the public events and our smaller, household 
offering.
Our hope is that neighbors who pass by will take a treat, and maybe pause long 
enough to see a child (or someone young at heart, or someone who may not have 
any other holiday treat) delight in a silly tradition.
I love seeing Holiday decorations, and knowing that many of our neighbors are 
contributing to a common joy.
 
The details from Tony West's announcement are repeated below.
"Egg hunts abound in the neighborhood today."

Friends of Malcolm X Park, 51st & Osage, egg hunt and party, from 12 m. to 5 
p.m. today. 
Friends of Walnut West Library, field behind the library, at 40th near Walnut 
St. at 12:30 p.m.
