Bill Slowsky

Bill’s dream is to SLOWLY travel to the Comcast Communications, Inc. headquarters located in Philadelphia, PA to have his picture taken in front of it and to find out why everyone is in such a big rush with their high speed internet service. He would also enjoy seeing the SLOW sights on the way and pictures taken that he can send back to his wife Karolyn. After achieving his goal he would then travel back to his starting location.
Added Waypoint! Make it to "Tube Time" cache (waypoint GCT9Y3) in Stockton, CA.
Added Waypoint! Be put in "SD-4" (waypoint GCXRRP) near Denver, CO.
Added Waypoint! Place in “Comcast Unofficial Stash” (waypoint GCJYVT) near Pittsburgh, PA..

We have had such a big response that I will continue adding waypoints as they come up!

This is a promotional item that we received from Comcast. We thought that it would be fun to send it to the corporate office and have a picture taken.

I did a Google search and found this story about them on a web page.

"The Slowskys - A married turtle couple who'd rather subscribe to an internet service that is slow (DSL) rather than the quick speedy service of a Broadband service like COMCAST. The Slowsky's (Bill and Karolyn) live in a one-story ranch style home and have all the amenities of modern life, including a concrete swimming pool in the back yard which they call the Pond. Despite the modern surroundings, the Slowsky's motto is "slow and easy." No wild, crazy or frenetic lifestyle for them. Taking it easy is in their nature so Bill and Karolyn can't understand why anyone would want to buy a fast Internet service as suggested in the Comcast ad campaign. To keep in touch with her friends, Karolyn has her own blog where she offers advice like "Only Fools Rush in (Dating Philosophy) and reports on the family's hobbies. For instance, her husband likes to take pictures of speed bumps, eat molasses, drink decaf coffee and participates in staring contests. Here is a posting from Karolyn's February 6, 2006 blog entry: "Yesterday I was online, and while I was waiting for this particular page to download, I fell asleep. I dreamed I won the lottery and that we moved to a new house with a giant pond that was so far from the DSL remote terminal that our connection was even slower. It took all kinds of time to see anything online. We stared at loading bars all day long. When I woke up the page I was waiting for still hadn’t loaded. I think that’s a sign. A sign that DSL is a dream come true."
