16 October and we're connected at the house

So here we are in the new chalet, floor newly stained by DC on her knees for 16 hours while I worked on cutting battens, fixing drains in huge rains which now go into our cistern to provide us with water, and we are connected. Enrique from the Dominican Republic 24 years ago comes down with Robert from Newfoundland, both working for Seaside the internet provider and puts up an antenna to pick up the signal from Chapel Island, the Mic Mac center of worship to Saint Anne.  So this is the first message going out from this modem: we are in Cape Breton, by lake Bras d'Or and connected! This place in the woods is alive with connection. Now we'll install a couple fo cameras to be able to look at the place on our i-phone.
