(for the time being) So here's an Bam-Bam moment, just for you. Late in the afternoon yesterday, I noticed the neighbour had a friend and his children over. Kids as they are want to do in the country, felt the urge to go an an explore. They "explored" their way onto my property and were causing no harm at all. Do you see where this is going? Yes I did it! "Hey you kids! Get off my lawn! I'd hate to go through life, having never done that to some kids and where we live, there just aren't that many chances! After a pretty good chuckle at how fast their little feet could carry them, I wandered across the property and went and explained. Of course, I was carrying a couple of ice cream bars and some beer as I did so. Happy Independance Day Ken. I’ll put this back here in the archives, so as to not ‘mess up’ the nice Poker post at the top.

:p

Our 'dish' was once a means to high *cough-cough* speed intertuble access. Although speedy compared to the current 79 miles of dial-up, it was hardly high-speed to anyone who has actualy ever used that. Once dropped, by us first based on cost and service, then by the company itself as others felt the same exact way, we looked to a project from Ma Bell. We had the exact same issue with trees and hills. This little gizmo had three tower locations to point at and NOT ONE could be reached. The tower was also their solution. "A 45 to 60 foot tower could be placed right here in your FRONTYARD to solve the problem Sir." I was told. I'm sure his butt and ears, still hurt to this day. OXY-MORONS of our time Ken. Government Worker & Customer Service When I find a litle of either these days, I try and reward it well. Clearly one of the best beginnings to a post, in all of blogdem.
