    There's a TV commercial in the US for something called Hughes Net(Howard Hughes Strikes Back!), wireless internet or some jazz like that.

    One of the things they emphasize in the commercial is that you need a "clear view of the southern sky".

    What does that mean exactly?

    Do you need a clear view of Uranus in order to access the internet?

    Should you be able to wave to Lynyrd Skynyrd from across an open field to ensure a strong signal?

    Does Daisy Duke need to be within eyesight?(Catherine Bach or the new chick, your choice)

    Um... should Neil Young be within shouting distance of sugar mountain cause southern man don't need him around anyhow.

    I'm not sure what that last one means but what the heck is a CLEAR VIEW OF THE SOUTHERN SKY and designates it as being "clear". What if there's a tree in the way? What if a flock of birds obstructs the southern sky? What if there are clouds or a storm in the southern sky? What is it like solar powered internet?

    IT'S TOO DAMN COMPLICATED

    It has to point to the sattelit to get a signal. Which I'm guessing is towards the south.

    You also have to store your urine in plastic bottles.

    I can't quite explain it, but I get slightly freaked out when that chick looks straight ahead.

    The only good thing about satellite was that after teh hurricanes, we got TV back before Cable did. except that everytime you get a nasty rainstorm you get interupteted service. That is why you get DVR.
    So modem it be.

    There are stars in the southern sky.
    Southward as you go...
    There is moonlight and moss in the trees
    Down the seven bridges road.

    Now I have loved you like a baby
    Like some lonesome child
    And I have loved you in a tame way
    And I have loved you wild

    Sometimes there's a part of me
    Has to turn from here and go
    Runnin' like a child from these warm stars
    Down the seven bridges road.

    There are stars in the southern sky
    And if ever you decide you should go
    There is a taste of time-sweetened honey
    Down the seven bridges road.

    What if you live at the south pole (like me)? Then you can't have a clear view south! :(

    That redhead on the Hughes Net commercial is hot in a creepy kind of way.

    I can't see it.

    There are trees in the way, and I may be too far east. WA is the place to be.

    If I were to have a clear view out of my window and I was to then look south I'd see Stockport.
