R.I.P Spocs-Online.com

 An era has come to an end.  I cannot justify paying for the web services and domain for Spocs-Online.com.  I would like to recommend Hosting24 as being a steady resource for web services.  Their customer service was good, they kept us online all these years.  All for only about $120 a year, including domain.  Very few outages were experienced.

Life continues here at the bottom of the rabbit hole.  That's a reference to "Alice's Adventures Under the Ground", which most of us know as "Alice in Wonderland".  Wonderland, indeed.  A place where the leaders continually lie to the people.  Where the leaders push their big government agenda, instead of giving the country a chance to recover and heal.  A government that tries to silence a Congressman who states that America is NOT a racist nation.  A place where news media trumpet black deaths, while ignoring the deaths of white people. (could it be...RASCISM???"  Take that, Saturday Night Live)

Anyway, it's a screwy place to live, these days.  Meanwhile, SPARCL11 is faithfully ticking along.  I shall have to turn off the parts that communicate with the old SPOCS internet doman, and figure out how to determine the health of our new internet provider, Starlink.  Unlike Hughes, Starlink does not have a convenient web page in their receiver.  Indeed, the receiver is housed inside the satellite dish itself.  Eventually, we will hopefully find out how to access information on the satellite link health. and add that to SPOCS.

There is still a lot of uncertainty now, but I have no choice but to trust that God will guide us where we need to go.  Pray for us all.
