Borrowing Bandwidth

Small things amaze me. I am sitting in my popup camper in a county campground a few miles outside of Madison, WI. Our daughter is an undergraduate at the UofW and we are visiting.

This is not a fancy campground and there are few special ammenities – no phone jack, no cable, and pretty much no lights. There is a shower with hot water. What amazes me is that I am on the Internet. We take a laptop with us on nearly all outings and I may write or we may watch a DVD in nearly any setting. When I turned my machine on tonight, I had a wireless connection (and it was unprotected). I actually do not know how this is possible. The only scenario I can imagine is that one of these fancy RVs around us has both a satellite connection and is using wireless within the vehicle. Must be nice. I am sitting in my camper and simply borrowing a little bandwidth.

Thanks for sharing!
