It appears I'm spoiled where I live and work. No issues ever accessing the internet. Lots of wifi connections I can make and when I absolutely need to do it, I have easy access to the cloud and can turn on my personal hotspot.
Last week I visited northern California along the coast. It was a place called Jenner, about two hours north of Oakland. Very limited wifi access. My phone did not work, the house we rented had SLOW access and the towns nearby only worked in the wide open spaces. Normally on vacation this is not a bad thing, but I had a freelance deadline in the middle of the trip. So, I got a little freaked out when I could only get my computer to connect when standing in the middle of the bedroom.
I managed to meet the deadline and also managed to avoid jobs before I headed back to the airport. But it was an eye opening moment to realize a few things. First, how dependent I have become on internet access. Secondly, how I never considered California to be remote. Finally, how the lack of land lines will be an issue if the internet gets throttled.

26 Shirts - Doing Good in Buffalo
I decided to sponsor a day for 26 Shirts. So, on January 28, 2018, Off Peak Productions will be the sponsor of the day. You can learn more about them at http://www.26shirts.com/
They specialize in creating unique limited edition sports-themed t-shirts every two weeks. After a shirt's respective two week run is over, the design is retired and never sold again. They are currently operating in Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh. For every shirt sold, a donation is made to a specified family in need or charitable organization.
