It has come to my attention that, despite his protestations to the contrary, Mr. Rainey certainly sports his own talking like a pirate video…so I figured I’d better set the record straight and present it to the world.  I’m like that…

I’ve been busily working on several things over the last week or so.  We cut back our home expenses and cut out another irritating no-customer-service entity from our lives.  MEDIACOM = FAIL - that’s our experience.  We tried.  We stuck with these boneheads for seven freaking years.  Their actual offices are somewhere in Florida.  All they have locally is an…
