I'm reporting live from a previously undisclosed location. Let's just it is as practically far away as you can possibly get from New York - while still being in the same country.
My listners know that I am officially on vacation for a week. My readers are just now finding that out. But while the Lovely Bride slept this morning I thought I would sneak down to the local StarBucks and sign on for a bit of blogging/catching up.
I was rather irked that I couldn't log on to the Drudge Report at the first Starbucks I stopped at. No worries there is another only two blocks from here.
So that was a few minutes ago. Now to set the stage these are the only two Starbucks in the thriving little yet very prominent downtown city that I am presently in. It is a town that is known for its very wealthy and very elite who own homes in this area. We come here simply because the Lovely Bride says it's one of her favorite places on earth.
Now at my second and last Starbucks stop in said city, I alas, again can not sign on to said Drudge Report. The message I kept getting at both locations went something along the lines of "Access to this site has been restricted by the owner of this network. Please request permission from your network administrator before accessing."
It seemed one of the more strange error messages I've ever seen - so I asked the guy behind the counter. At first he played like he was busy, and finally out of frustration, he explained that he had no say in the matter and that the manager (of both stores) would be in after 10am if I wished to stay and bring it up then.
Again a strange response.
So now I really want to know... Did the Starbucks stores in one of the hometowns of Brad Pitt and Oprah Winfrey ban access to the Drudge Report? Curiously awakened minds now want to know.
By the way - since I am on vacation - I'm not waiting till 10am PST to find out. But I will be back tomorrow...
