Dead Trees, Verizon JetPack MiFi, and Entertainment Systems

Dead Trees - If you read Saturday's blog post, you will be familiar with the two trees that adorned a section of Solano Street 50 yards from my office until an inebriated woman crashed into them and uprooted them last Thursday at 4 PM. In my post, I said that I felt secure in the notion that the trees would be replanted and survive nicely.

Unfortunately, while Laura and I returned to our nest following Sunday service at Harvest Christian Center, we saw that the trees had not been replanted. This saddened us greatly. Hopefully, the trees will be replaced soon with healthy trees.

Verizon JetPack MiFi - The Verizon Jetpack™ 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot - MiFi® 4620L is an awesome device. I have seen download speeds in excess of 20,000kbps.



Here are some examples of the unit in use:
1 = DigitalPath wireless Internet connection at home
2 = MiFi Wi-Fi Hot Spot inside church
3 = MiFi Wi-Fi Hot Spot in Nitro in front of our house
4 = MiFi Wi-Fi Hot Spot in Nitro in wilderness 35 miles from Corning
5 = MiFi Wi-Fi Hot Spot in Cocodine restaurant in Chico
6 = MiFi Wi-Fi Hot Spot in Nitro in Raley’s parking lot in Chico
