I just now hit the Car Talk book mark and after 85 seconds the site began to open. No other site is ever so sluggish. What gives? ---

I get that occasionally, but not recently. I figure it’s internet traffic that slows my connection. ---

Have you run a system cleaner (I use ccleaner) and cleared out all cookies? Sounds like some ad script is trying to load. I have no problems. ---

Slower than slow loading this morning, disappointingly slow 🐌! And like Rod’s observation, no other site is that sluggish. _ **CSA** _ 🌴🕶🌴 ---

CSA, I used to recall you writing about your dial-up connection. Did you get an upgrade in your southern outpost? ---

> [@cdaquila](#): > > CSA, I used to recall you writing about your dial-up connection. Did you get an upgrade in your southern outpost? I’m temporarily at the northern tundra location where I’m currently freezing. No more dial-up, no more land-line. I’m using some kind of _Verizon cell-phone hot-spot_ thing that my bride subscribed us to. I don’t clutter what’s left of mind with such matters. My wife handles that stuff because she’s younger and has better brain function, and nothing but spare time, as a _trophy wife_ 🏆. Southern location has _high-speed, always-on wireless, through Spectrum_. _ **CSA** _ 🌴🕶🌴 ---
