Most of the WiFi signals that I can pick up are open (no encryption). There's a
large apartment complex next to our location which broadcasts free WiFi to its
residents. We can easily use their signal - actually their signal is really
three signals. One separate signal for each building complex as there are three
buildings.  We opted for the free public WiFi broadcast by the city.  Not the
fastest or the strongest, but we felt it would not have been ethical to use the
others.

Once in awhile we'll see one especially if there was a recent road kill. 
Around here we get a lot of critters that come out at night and decide to
attempt to cross the main highway.  They usually fail.

Little cooler today.  Got to go to the church and do some maintenance work
inside.  I hate to turn on the air handler for just myself but without it I
couldn't last 15 minutes.

Regards.
