[wplug] As usual wifi connection problems.

[terry mcintyre]

Carnegie Library is having some difficulty with their wifi. 

This morning, the Carrick branch posted a notice that wifi in all Carnegie 
libraries is not working today. I do not know when this problem began, nor when 
they expect it to be fixed. 

On Sunday July 11th, I could not get a wifi connection at the Squirrel Hills 
library.

The previous Wednesday, I was able to connect at the main branch in Oakland.

Taking time to do it right saves having to do it twice.
