I just tried a local number. It was clear but I got a message that the number could not be reached. It took 3 tries but probably nothing wrong as I often have that happen.

1985 had all the communication technology the world could possibly need and more.

Advances since them have been a bane.

NOT a blessing.

About a month ago we lost land phone off & on for 3 weeks and had no internet for that same period. I suspected it was cyber attack but a friend told me that particular provider has always been less than competent.

I'll re-think cyber attack

The bone shaker bike was a good workout. When we had horses there was always fertilizer for the garden.

And if you needed to make a call you stopped at a pay phone.”

When I was in high school we wore penny loafers but would keep nickles in them just in case we would need to make a call on the way home. Can’t honestly remember when I last saw a pay phone.

When I started my business many years later I finally agreed to get a pager but hated the intrusion so much that I never turned it on. Now have a cell phone with no texting. It is only for emergency use and to answer calls from my kids and grandkids. Only thing I really miss when the net is down is FR!!!

The one thing we can all be certain of is it’s not terrorism-related.

That is all. Carry on.

(when will they make the statement?)
