You know? If you live 30 miles from town (the CO) and have 80 people around you that are out too, it shouldn't be real hard to figure out whats in common. My first guess is that something remote lost a power supply, and might just be one of those where they don't make the power supply anymore, or stock one if they do. I've seen it happen. Who knows? Fujitsu? Positron? Nortel? Western Electric? Service on a litespan or SLCK? The list goes on and on and on, and as stuff is engineered and installed over time, this gets replaced by that, because this aint made no more, and, and, and. Unless someone cut a cable or mowed down a pedestal to a underground feed...? But one thing is for sure, that much service that close together, it can't be hard to figure the source of the problem.

Then again, maybe none of you 80 pay your bills. OK, just jokin there. Some of you must pay your bill.

One last thing comes to mind...they don't want to fix it because they want you to get rid of your land line because they want to get out of the land line business. Hey, Verizon sold off to Frontier because Verizon wanted out. In Illinois, AT&T just raised their rates anywhere from 27% to 63%, and they have been petitioning to get out like Verizon did, so my guess is that they are tryin to anger customers enough to drop them (us) and help us get out of the land line business. We just laid off almost 900 craft in the Midwest a couple of weeks ago just before our rates sky rocketed a day or so ago. Coincidence? Don't bet on it.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
