I plan on moving closer to work within the next two months. This morning the human encyclopedia and I were discussing the logistics of such a move, and he brought up the topic of my computers.

“It’s going to be a little tricky getting you set up,” he said.

“What are you talking about? I know how to set my computers up just fine. That’s easy.”

“I’m talking about the internet service providers. They have different cable companies up there. You might even have to get DSL instead.”

“Oh.”

I hadn’t thought of that. I currently cruise the net on a cable modem provided by Cox Communications, and I just love their service. They’re fast and dependable, and they’ve got great tech support. I didn’t like the idea of having to use another company. I looked up at the human encyclopedia with a little moue on my face.

“But I like Cox,” I said with a plaintive tone.

“Yes, I know,” he told me, one side of his mouth curling up just slightly. “So all the men have told me.”

“Cable,” I clarified. “I meant Cox cable.”
