With our re-location we are back to DSL as we are just past the area with Op Fiber to-the-door (this must be one of the few cities with free public wi-fi downtown and to cross the five feet with fiber.
Unlike the typical American publiv library in a small city, the public library here has a shelf of philosophy books both in Dewey 100+ and 180+ including one volume that was a very pleasant surprise.
The biggest treat: a hand controlled "camera obscura" in a dome by the river. This is not augmented vision with adjusted focus as in a magnifiying glass, a spyglass, a telescope, a film camera or a video camera: this unique manner viewing a display ( I do not say "image") of reflections of the trees on the surface of a flowing river, passing gulls or tourists on the bridge - an artist's permanent installation - alone would be worth the journey.
