It’s getting crowded on my “Companies That Suck” list
Roll Out the Magenta Welcome Mat: T‑Mobile Completes UScellular Deal
From MacRumors: “T-Mobile announced the acquisition back in May 2024, but it was contingent on regulatory approval. According to Reuters, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission approved the merger in mid-July after T-Mobile ended its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
T-Mobile sent the FCC a letter with a promise to end DEI on July 9, and the deal was approved two days later. T-Mobile said that it was eliminating its DEI-related policies “not just in name, but in substance."
According to T-Mobile, the UScellular acquisition is a “big win for customers.” Existing UScellular customers will be incorporated into the T-Mobile network. While UScellular users can keep their plans for the time being, T-Mobile will begin allowing them to the transition to T-Mobile unlimited plans “as networks and systems are integrated.”
I’m happy that last December, based soly on the fact that a single non-senior adult “MAX” wireless plan on T-Mobile cost me north of $150 per month, I took my business to US Mobile. I could not be happier with the coverage, customer service and the price: paying annually, I get the Unlimited Premium plan for $32.50 per month, with an Apple Watch device line included in that price.
Took the boys out to the off-leash dog park at Chatfield State Park this morning before it was too hot. They had a blast as usual.
Toby made a puppy buddy at Coal Mine Avenue Brewing today after his dog wash with Humane Society of the South Platte Valley.
My first colonoscopy in the books. One polyp found, sent to pathology for analysis.
I guess I was naïve but I didn’t realize what a big “production” this procedure entailed.
Luckily everything went well and quickly and now back at home recovering.
Watermelon Hefe

I try to take my dogs to Strange Craft Beer Company every year on Independence Day for the release of their Watermelon Hefe. It’s as close to a tradition as we have.
I decided to give micro.blog a try for my blogging activity. Pointed some of my personal domain names at it and I plan to import my Wordpress content (if possible). We’ll see how it goes.
