Public hotspots (Finding wifi part II)

((So here we are in West Concord, Massachusetts — I took a break from candidating week, and Carol and I zipped up here to visit our respective families for a couple of hours — and wouldn’t you know it, suddenly we both needed our internet fix….

((We slipped into an ecological engineering office where Carol still maintains a desk and a phone for her non-profit — and managed to pick up an open wifi hotspot from a public-spirited neighbor….

((Signal strength is real low — but we’re both getting through. Thank goodness for wifi good Samaritans.))

    Thanks, jfield, for the list of wifi hotspots. One of those spots in just a few blocks from the New Bedford Unitarian Universalist church. For the record, McDonald’s charges for wifi.

    We actually wound up going to Panera’s in Dartmouth, the town we were staying in, which is right next to New Bedford. For the record, Panera’s has free wifi.
