QUICKTIME
This weeks feature business and sponsor of DigElogROCORI stories is Affordable Computing Solutions
(ACS) of Cold Spring. Meet Ty Farley, owner of ACS, and hear him talk
about the new broadband wireless internet service in the area called
Clearwire.
Clearwire provides a wireless, cellular based internet available in
most of the Land of ROCORI. From the Chain of Lakes, to the far
corners of Rockville, Clearwire can be a broadband, high speed internet
connection for many residents and businesses.
With Clearwire, DigElogROCORI video and audio stories can be
downloaded onto your computer much more quickly. In many cases, the
speeds experienced by Clearwire customers are similar to those of local
broadband cable modem users.

The fall of 1940 was a warm one. In some ways similar to the fall of
2005. With gardens still yielding vegetables well into October,
winter
seemed far away.
By midday November 11th, some areas of
southeast
Minnesota topped 60 degrees, but a huge storm was just to the west.
Here in the Land of Rocori, the day was one where kids going to school
wore little if any jackets.

Sometimes we hear conversations where the topic is how our world has
changed . . . never would any from our generation have ever thought to
take a gun to school, much less use it there. Never did we dare talk
back to dad or mom . . . either way we dealt with dad. We would have
never entered another person’s home (whether under construction or not)
and take things that didn’t belong to us.
Today’s world seems much different. Why? Probably because when we
were young and growing up there were morals and values distilled in us
by our parents, grandparents, or anyone else who would qualify as being
older than us.
We remember sitting together with our family and eating breakfast –
every day – whether we had school, or not; whether we were off to
church, or not; or if we had plans with friends, or not – we always sat
at the table with our family for breakfast. When we were home for
summer vacation we ALWAYS sat down at the dinner table for a meal with
our family. Nearly everyday, the rest of the year, we sat down at a
specific time to eat a meal with our family in the evening; some called
this meal dinner, our family called it supper.

was interviewed. You'll be surprised the many different things people
are thankful for in the Land of ROCORI 2005.
