November fourth is rapidly approaching. The near deafening roar of election campaign coverage has reached such a din that it has become nearly unbearable. Whether you are an Obama/Biden fanatic or a rabid McCain/Palin supporter most people have become tired of the nonstop election craziness. Many people are so fed up with it they have a hard time even putting on their television for fear of being bombarded by borderline (and not so borderline) sleazy political advertising.

In addition to the Presidential race, there are also myriad local propositions, senate races and issues to be decided on at polls across the country on November fourth. So, if you absolutely hate watching the television coverage what can you do if you still want to monitor election results? Well, if you are a HughesNet satellite internet subscriber you can watch election results come in from the comfort of your advertisement free computer screen.

HughesNet is available to customers all across this great nation of ours, even in remotest Alaska. That should make Sarah Palin happy.

Last week, several wildfires raged throughout central and southern California - many were the result of fierce Santa Ana winds, others were accidental, some were arson. Since Satellite Family is located in southern California, we were surrounded by the destruction all week. Ash covered all the cars, schools were closed, and the sun seemed to disappear at times behind clouds of smoke.
