Avoiding a disaster, keep moving!
I used to live in the Jersey Shore in Ventnor which I am sure along with Atlantic City was very hard hit by Sandy! I used to have nightmares of waking up and the island being surrounded by water, and I lived on the second floor!
I moved quickly to May's Landing and eventually Egg Harbor City away from the shore! I never anticipated something like Sandy but I always worried about living too close to the shore, any shore! We now live in Deerfield Beach (Florida Shore) but it's about 4-5 miles inland away from the shore!
I've always tried to move away from where hurricanes tend to be destructive, earthquakes tend to happen, fires tend to destroy, Tornadoes destroy cities or water tends to move things believed unmovable!I keep moving! I imagine eventually we will stay long enough in one place where we may face a disaster but until now they have happened to places we either lived after or before the disaster! We like many American's have been fortunate!
Sometimes the best view in the world can disappear in a blink of an eye! How pleasurable it is to see such a view and go home to not such a pleasant one!Sometimes we pay for the risks we take, living at water level has it's disadvantages even though they may be every century!
Global warming will cause more destruction as time moves on and we all will face it one time or another. Some may be lucky enough not tto ever see such destruction if they just keep on moving maybe avoiding what Sandy just delivered!

The art of moving, God's direction?
I am a firm believer of a creator but this bog is not about this subject! Someone has been guiding us for the last 15 years and it has led us to move almost every other year if calculated over the 15 years!
Recently we left a beautiful home in Hudson (the pits of Florida) to Wilton Manors in Fort Lauderdale. That move lasted 3 months and we moved again to Deerfield Beach where is a little more our taste!
Yes we miss the big house but it was becoming too much too maintain! I know my family felt disappointed leaving their home, but I follow my instincts and it took us to Wilton Manors for 3 months! Was this the creators direction?
I believe so! After my mom died I had become numb to life! There was no happiness inside me and we made the decision to move to a bad neighborhood and a place way too small! But what came out of this move was our neighbor Bob! Bob's comical way of looking at life brought life back within me! For the first time after my mom's death I smiled and laughed again! I was content and though not happy with the living arrangements life became more bearable! Bob is now like family and though we have moved we see him just as often!
So is the art of moving one of God's direction? I believe it is! We have met wonderful people throughout the USA as we have moved many times to many states! We moved closer to family, away from family at times due to work, but really we moved because we were being directed to!
We would of never have had the experiences and stories and so many friends if the art of moving was not one of direction by God!

Dealing with Comcast
It would seem to me changing an account from one address to another would a simple process! Or they seem to lead you to believe it is!
I have been with Comcast all week trying to get my new address working. First the technician that showed up had no concept of what he was doing and left without leaving me satisfied:
I ordered wireless, I go no wireless
I ordered HDMI boxes I got non HDMI boxes
I ordered it installed in a specific location, he installed the router where it was convenient for him
I asked to take the equipment, he said he could not
The first technician was more interested in talking to whomever he was on the phone with in another language, than he was in taking care of my service issues.
Now I have a technician here trying to resolve the issue and we have half the services working sand half not working! Sometimes a company gets too big to adequately service it's customers! I find this has happened to Comcast! Either that or they just don;t have the infrastructure to manage who they have as customers! Or maybe, just maybe they don't give a shit about their customers.
